The effects of disrespect on a noncommissioned officer and dishonor On 3 December 2016, I was ordered by SFC Chapman to teach a class to a group of mobilizing soldiers. Feeling unprepared to teach, I refused to obey his order and in addition to disobeying his order I was also disrespectful. This action, the action of disobeying an order by a superior and being disrespectful could have subjected me to UCMJ and destroyed my career as a Staff Sergeant if not for good judgement of my leadership not to punish me under Article 92 and 89 of UCMJ.

This process was not a simple process but a process that caused me to search deep inside me of to figure out how to survive both professionally and personally.
