CO Runner or Commander PA (ComdPA) is just a personal assitant to the Unit Commander. Basically do whatever he tells you do. (If you don't know, the CO is the highest ranking officer in the unit)
The reason why so many clerks (ASA) wish to become ComdPA because as a ComdPA, only 2 person can arrow you (for my unit case), the CO and the RSM. Whereas for all men, you are subjected to be arrow by all kinds of ppl higher rank than you, see the reason now? -
ic. hmm from what i heard from other people, they said tat the co runner is like a signaller? it isnt rite?
btw, i dont' know why was i chosen to be a co runner. i am from pes A and i dun have any injury watsoever. -
run errands for CO

Depends on the Comd Office. For my last time active unit (ATC also Armour), Comd Office ususally have 3 ppl, 2 clerks, 1 signaller but may differ from unit to unit because sometimes the CO may want extra personnel in the office. (last time my unit got 4 or 5 personnel, maybe due to that year doing NDP bah)
If you are signaller, you will do what signallers do but the fact that you are his signaller only, makes alot of difference (refer to my previous post if you dun get what I mean
) But the downside is, you will double as his PA in the field as well. -
i dunno wat ur unit.. but from infantry unit, the co runner need to learn a bit of signal stuff as for backup... I am a co signaller last time..
u will attend to co needs, in camp or field.. -
but wat is the criteria for being chosen to be a co runner?
why was i chosen and not other ppl? -

you purposely failed your 2.4 and you can still announce it so proudly here.Originally posted by emopunkd:I am in kranji camp 41 sar. i heard that i would may become a c.o runner. Can i know what is the job scope and all?

if i were your pc, i would charge you for malignering. -
C'mon, cut him some slack.NSFs had and always will have a different mentality towards such things.

C'mon, cut him some slack.NSFs had and always will have a different mentality towards such things.Is a 2.4km run worth ruining his future?Or has the army's managment stooped to such a low level of people managment?

we all have different views towards ns.Originally posted by LazerLordz:C'mon, cut him some slack.NSFs had and always will have a different mentality towards such things.Is a 2.4km run worth ruining his future?Or has the army's managment stooped to such a low level of people managment?
many people i have met do not like ns, but they nevertheless performed professionally during their stint.
that aside, when it comes to the enforcement of military law, there should and can be no difference in treatment for nsf and regulas for the obvious reasons.
yes, running 2.4 is not worth ruining his future. in that case, he shouldnt have did what he has done.
if we let him off with the full knowledge of what he did, what is it going to say of our military?
of course no one here is going to charge him simply cos none of us can - we do not know who he is.
but if i do, i will. -
Nope, as said in my case, there are 2 clerks (PES E, PES C personnels) and 1 signaller (be it PES A or B). So the vocation is quite clear. It is the job that is messed up cause as clerks will help out in the drawing of the signal sets and setups. Sometimes clerk also kena go field with the CO.Originally posted by emopunkd:but co runner may juz mean da personal assistant to co and not a signaller too rite. i hope i dun get to be da signaller :p
Signallers will also double up as a clerk when there is not field training, etc. -
Bascially when war comes the COPA is like his right hand man.Originally posted by octega:Nope, as said in my case, there are 2 clerks (PES E, PES C personnels) and 1 signaller (be it PES A or B).

Outfield wise, still require him one, esp. combat units, cos they go outfield regularly, so need PES status can-make-it type. Otherwise, a PA which cant run is useless also.
