In today’s time frame the term disrespect can be defined by many different things. The dictionary defines disrespect as the lack of respect or courtesy. In the military disrespect can be show as not only talking back, but hand gestures, body language, the emphasis of your voice when responding to a command, or even not acknowledging one command. Out of all the possible signs of disrespect I think personally that talking back, body language and the emphasis of your voice are the major ones that can get you in trouble. Even not going to the authorize position of parade rest is a sign of disrespect, because as Non Commissioned Officer if you out rank the subordinate the person who is receiving information, criticism, or a command should be at …show more content…
Having the rank of Sergeant or above they earn that right of respect, because that rank is not given to them. They literally have to earn it by going to Basic Leaders Course and go and standing in front of board members between the ranks of Sergeant First Class, Sergeant Majors, and Command Sergeant Majors to get there promotable status. As a Non Commissioned Officer they are trusted with the power to be able to lead, train and develop soldiers, so disrespect is one thing they shouldn’t have to deal with. Also being in the Army showing disrespect you will get counseled with the title “Disrespect to a Non Commissioned Officer”. It really only takes one DA form 4856 with disrespect to get pushed up for Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) if written correctly. If it’s not written correct, it usually takes two or three to get pushed for UCMJ …show more content…
Another possible recommendation is discharge from the military from a General with honorable conditions (which is the lowest) to a Dishonorable discharge (which is the highest, and worst you can get). Getting a dishonorable discharge means you can’t get a job (if you do get a job it won’t be a good one), no benefits, or etc. Getting a general or other than honorable (OTH) you may lose health benefits, educational benefits, and etc. The point I’m trying to get out of this is disrespect in the military is a big thing, especially dealing or being disrespectful to a Non Commissioned Officer. Disrespect doesn’t only have to be with Non Commissioned Officers, it can be with Commissioned Officers, Warrant Officers, and Senior Non Commissioned Officers such as (Sergeant First Class, Master Sergeants, Sergeant Majors, and sometimes seasoned Staff Sergeants). It can also be to your peers alike. Treat people how you would like to be treated. As my momma always said “If you don’t got nothing good to say then don’t say anything at
The same idea of an unwavering hierarchy that extends beyond title and into the deep roots of merit are inherent in both concepts. Even dealing with other branches of service, there are certain expectations to be upheld when dealing with an officer, a senior enlisted, and even with your peers. Officers are saluted by enlisted members, just as junior enlisted members stand at parade rest when addressing Non-Commissioned Officers (NCO). This level of respect would continue on into a civilian environment, although no saluting would be present in civilian attire. For example, a lower enlisted member could be at a restaurant or a bar over the weekend and happen to see his Company Commander. Even out of the work environment and military setting, the should still subtly take each other’s rank into account with everything said, such as a “Sir” every now and then from the enlisted member as well as avoiding certain comments that could get a soldier in trouble when dealing with his Chain of Command. This same level of military bearing will also carry on into encounters with civilians as military members and prior service member can almost always be spotted in a crowd with relative ease. Bearing can be taught at a basic level, but one must have the initiative to follow the guidance set before them and behave a certain
As a ROTC cadet in the United States Army, It is my job to respect any cadre member and cadets appointed over me. Respect in the army and in the real world are slightly two different things. Outside ROTC world respect cannot be demanded nor expected, but as in ROTC world it is completely the opposite. Respect is an absolute necessity because that is what separates us from being non-professionals and professionals. We must respect all the cadets who are appointed over us
Throughout the military and the Army there many different regulations and rules to live by also known as custom courtesies that every soldier must follow in order to show the proper respect order and discipline as they then move on with their daily lives. Custom courtesies are put into place to give the proper respect for noncommissioned officers and the officers placed above them.AR 600 – 25 customs and courtesies is considered to many to be the foundation pillars of military life and major fundamentals to the methods that the Army conducts its business. Some of these fundamentals being as old as the Army itself with many of them coming from past traditions such as the Army values that we base most of what we do on. Many of these traditions having been established due to past military history and regulations that are being formed today in different ways to help soldiers to better understand how the way Army wants them to be acting in a particular manner over a long period of time. These custom and courtesies not only form the way a soldier acts upon his or her professional life but also his or her social life as a way of maintaining discipline. Customs is a means of doing something that has been done over a long period of time by select few for a large group of many. As a courtesy is a form of polite behavior and excellent manners given from one person to another session is saluting or even holding a door for someone. Even when our custom and courtesies are seemed to be strange by civilians is what sets a soldier and a civilian a part on more levels than one. As most of these means of acting are not found in civilian life as it does not require special behavior and maintain a certain level respect and professionalism.
Anywhere you go, you can see a lack of respect. Either for age, the color of someone’s skin, someone’s profession, a position at work, or
When standards are used inconsistently. Today’s leadership has issues enforcing these standards on their peers, but are quick to enforce them with Junior Marines. You teach Junior Marines its okay to hold some standards higher or allow certain people to disregard those standards altogether. It will confuse the next generation of leadership, and they will make the same mistakes. Pride should be shown when enforcing Marine Corps standards.

I take a lot of pride in being a Staff Sergeant in the United States Army. I love being in front of soldiers training and leading and setting an example. So often in the Army we come across many NCOs that shouldn’t be allowed to be in front of soldiers. Some of us work so hard to learn as much as we can so that we can progress and pass down knowledge. In my opinion, the system that the Army had was flawed. I’ve heard many people say it’s about who you know when it comes to getting promoted at the centralized level. I personally believe that some NCO’s do what they are supposed to do in accordance with the regulations but are being promoted without being fully qualified.
Soldiers are not entitled to respect from those that do not serve beside them, but respect should always be given, regardless of the situation. A collective effort of respect sources a general trust in all of those that wear the same uniform and all of those that serve the United States Military. Lack of respect without punishment promotes the persistence of disrespect and will eventually cause soldiers to lose trust in those that they do not directly know. A general distrust causes separation of MOS/rank/gender/race etc.
Surveys have shown that women who were "of enlisted rank" or who had been victims of sexual abuse when younger were more likely than their peers to be raped (Reuters, 2003). Other risk factors included environmental factors such as work environments that allowed sexually inappropriate behavior. Disciplinary measures need to be more severe to send a message to cadets that sexual harassment cannot and will not be tolerated, regardless of the circumstances. Research suggests that sexual harassment can have serious psychological, health related and job related outcomes especially when it affects women (Drasgow, et. al, 1999).
Respect is a difficult word to truly define because it means something different to each person. What is respect? It’s a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. What about the flip side? Lacking respect or courtesy.
Disrespect According to Webster’s New World Dictionary, Respect is “to show consideration for; to honor or esteem somebody or something”. When we care for another, or by honoring their ideas and recognise their successes, we are respecting that person. We are showing that person that we care what they think we care about their happiness and we care about what goes on in there life. The fifth amendment in the bible tells you to respect your mother and your father.
Respect can be a feeling, or an action. The way you treat someone, or the little things, like helping your friend clean up a spilled mess, or just sitting next to someone who is alone. Respect is often a combination of kindness and thoughtfulness. Another example is the way we should interact with people in authority, such as police officers, firefighters, medics, judges, elected officials, and other people who make decisions that we may not agree with. Just because we do not always agree with someone, does not mean we can’t
When we can care for are honors by recognizing their excellence and their qualities. Even if they mess up we can still forgive them. When respecting honor you need a great deal of trust. Although if you do not respect them it could hurt them. For example the military is risking their lives to protect are country.
While working as a correctional officer, the people who are at a lower rank seem to respect each other more than the ones that are at the top. At the start of my correctional career, higher level supervisor treated each officer with respect and acknowledged how great of a job their staff were doing. Sometimes, the administration will bring food for a potluck and congratulated their unit staff with a job well done. Supervisors
In “Diary of a Mad Blender,” the mother quits her job to spend time with her children (Shellenbarger 24). While that may be a fun thing to do, the soldier is able to get more work done without family around and possibly make more money. If you are in the military you get military
