There are a few things about this, centered around the C Clerk.
- the unit has a 'full time staff'. My experience is the Adjt, usually the RSS O, runs the show when the Cl A CofC isn't around and communicates regularly with the CO for decisions that he/she can't look after.
- if the CO doesn't find clear answers, has anyone went to the Bde HQ G1, etc for guidance?
- RSS types usually reported (informally?) to the Reg Force folks at the Bde for career management stuff when I was at the CBG HQ; if there was a Reg F RSS WO/Sgt at a cbt arms unit, they were tied formally, or informally, to the Bde G3. There was also a Superintendent Clerk (was a Reg F MWO) at the Bde HQ. If the C Clerk is not playing nice in the sandbox, the Adjt could also make formal/informal inquiries to that person as well, for their professional opinion on the conduct/actions of the C Clerk.
Last comment, if the chief clerk is being an idiot and not following orders, are we that scared of ourselves now we are reluctant to take disciplinary/admin action against a mbr, Reg or Res, who clearly is demonstrating conduct and/or performance deficiencies? Why just fire the tool (if they are being a tool), only to hand them over to the next unit who then has to deal with them? If its broke...fix it.
