Why don‘t all officers have to take thier phase courses?
Recently we got two new 2Lt‘s at my unit. They were getting thier initial kit issue and being taught how to tye up thier boots and stuff like that. Yet, since they have a degree, they are automatically 2Lt‘s. So I salute them but they don‘t even know how to salute back. These people arn‘t going to have to take thier phase courses, but instead will have trade courses. How can they command a troop without at least a rudimentary understanding on how the army works? Some of our officers are fairly clueless with regards to both the perspective of the ordinary soldier, and thier own basic soldier skills.
Yes, I know, it is not for me to reason why. And I still havn‘t quite figured out what officers do. But this system doesn‘t seem to make any sense at all.
