I find a lot that within the CAF, especially in the Army, we are kind of bad for blurring the line at WO and up with their respective Command Team Partner.
The Tp Wo is only a 2IC when required. They're mostly in an advisory and support role, looking after the administrative and personnel side of the mission. Too often I have seen my peers use the "We" (as in, the NCO/WO and the Comd/OC/CO) when briefing their plan, vice owning a decision solely.
"The RSM and I, the Chief and I" may play well into "inclusion" of the NCOs in the decision making... but it confuses the hell out of the JRs, and in some cases, the Snr NCOs and WOs. The RSM, while holding considerable sway, holds no command authority. Neither does the SSM or Tp WO.
When we throw them under the bus with a decision made by those with Comd Authority... it creates the kind of "Animal Farm" mentality amongst the JRs that the WOs and the Officers are one and the same. That means they don't feel comfortable bringing up an issue to those senior advisors because "well you're part of the problem..." Hence the "Fleet MS" or Comd JR Advisor bullshit above.
If my WO is not getting the God honest truth from our troop, then they're not doing their job and I'm not doing mine. If I have to seek it from Cpl Bloggins, then the whole core of that Chain of Command tree is rotten and needs replanted.
