Hi, I've been reading the QR&Os and can't find anything relating to a situation that has arisen. So I'll explain what is going on and well maybe someone will be able to answer.
So we have two corporals one (A) with 4 years of seniority in his rank and (B) with 7 years of seniority. Cpl (A) has been appointed once in a while as supervisor in a section with members of ranks between Pte and Cpl. One of his task is to ask the members for a briefing of their functions. All so far is very normal, however Cpl (A) has been asking for the members and even Cpl (B) to come to attention while giving the briefing. Does Cpl (B) or for that matter any member of the section have the right to refuse to come to attention while giving the briefing and if so or not what is the reference that would support either ?
