Quotes About Ncos

“By this time, around 0745, unknown others were doing the same, whether NCOs or junior officers or, in some cases, privates.

Bingham put it this way: The individual and small-unit initiative carried the day. Very little, if any, credit can be accorded company, battalion, or regimental commanders for their tactical prowess and/or their coordination of the action.”
— Stephen E. Ambrose —

It was understood that orders had to be obeyed, but it was also understood that when you gave an order you gave it as comrade to comrade and not as superior to inferior. There were officers and NCOs, but there was no military rank in the ordinary sense; not titles, no badges, no heel-clicking and saluting. They had attempted to produce within the militias a sort of temporary working model of the classless society.”

— George Orwell

“He had to grow his own NCOs.”

— William G. Bainbridge
