Personal Narrative: The 42A30 Incident

The following day, SFC Collins came into our office and formally introduced himself. It quickly became apparent to me that he was not like any of the other leaders I had encountered up to this point in my career. The first thing that struck me was how genuine he was and that he truly seemed to care about our section not just as soldiers, but as people. He knew the events that had led up to his becoming our new NCOIC, but showed no indication that it had affected or influenced his judgment of who we were or how we operated. After the initial orientation, he started asking about our counselings and began building our team foundation from there. By the end of that first meeting, I already knew he was honest, fair, competent and above all, a true leader.

Im sure many people would consider not informing their chain of command of this situation given the circumstances(new to the unit and SFC Sharps reputation) and the fact that SFC Sharp is on his way out of the unit. However the ethical dilemma for me is, do I confront him, alert the chain of command or contact the Military Police to

When I first transferred to midnights, and before I rode with him, I remember his voice was always on the radio. It sounded as if he was constantly busy and always into something. The first day I rode with Gary, he told me he was going to drive. As soon as we were in the car he began to show me how he worked. I quickly realized that he was not just taking up radio space, but that he was making a difference. Some officers took advantage of the new recruits and passed off all their paperwork while they socialized. It was expected by some FTO’s that the paperwork be completed correctly by the time they returned. Gary modeled the actions of an excellent officer and showed his competence and his drive to work by guiding his rookies through the

SSG Bob on 23 Sep 05 I had received a phone call at 1410 hrs. from SGT Bill stating that he had come into some money and that he had known that I was wanting to get some additional equipment for OUR SRT. SGT Bill stated that he needed myself to come in and type up a letter of justification and if I could also have SGT Jones come in as well to assist in writing this letter due to the fact that SGT Jones had been placed in charge of training folders. On notification of this I was on the phone notifing my soldiers of where they needed to be and in doing this I had also asked SPC Man if could also inform you of what I had going on in case he had seen you before me, but his telling you was not going to be your only notification, nor would I

On Friday, 17 July 2015, at approximately 1400 hours, I, Officer Allison Bigham, was contacted by a Parks Services Supervisor, Andrew Jones, in regards to an associate who was reported to have their cell phone on them. Jones stated that Miller had already been told to put the phone in her locker; however, she was being uncooperative. After updating Sergeants Frank Long and Charles Drakeford on the situation, I was instructed to pick up the associate, Victoria Miller, and escort her to the South Carolina Interview Room in order to complete a compliance verification audit. I met with Andrew Jones who stated that he would help me find Miller because Park Services had no way to contact her. Upon entering Boomerang Bay, Jones and I were flagged

I called SFC Woodard to ask him, to ask 1LT Schwartz, what information or requirement she needs from the command to better assist with closure. SFC Woodard told me that 1LT Schwartz did not want to seek IG. Again, SFC Woodard informed me that she feels uncomfortable in the unit. 1LT Schwartz stated to SFC Woodard that she felt like she was being judged and wanted a free start. I requested that SFC Woodard ask 1LT Schwartz did she require to move, in order to see if that is her actual intent of her statement. SFC Woodard responded to me in a later conversation after he spoke to 1LT Schwartz. He stated that she in fact wanted to move

On 20 May 2016 I Sgt Barth, J was assigned to Core Services as the desk sergeant and as part of my assigned duties was monitoring dinner feeding. I witnessed C/O Patronas directing Inmate Hamilton 1104472 to dump his cup of water. Inmate Hamilton refused three directed orders to dump his cup but also proceeded to drink his water with in arms reach of C/O Patronas to which it seemed to me that he was doing this to antagonize him. C/O Patronas proceeded to take the cup out of his hand and dump it for him. C/O Patronas then told Inmate Hamilton to move out of his personal space and move on with his unit. Inmate Hamilton agained refuse three direct orders. Inmate Hamilton then proceeded to look at C/O Patronas as if he was going to challenge

Our CMC and Captain Curry (Enlisted CO) are both disgusted with GMCM Robertson's behavior at work and they are very disappointed that he has been getting away with this type of behavior for the last three year at USFF and no one did anything to report him until now. Neither Captain Martin (former N411), Captain Darnell or Mr. Zimmerman wanted to do anything to stop GMCM Robertson since he had them intimidated by telling them that he worked for ADM Davidson twice in the past and that they were very close friends. Both Captain Darnell and Mr. Zimmerman tried numerous times to persuade me no to take on GMCM since they kept telling me that GMCM was a close friend of ADM Davidson and ADM Davidson was going to protect him and nothing was going to happen to him at the end. They both told me that I was going to fail in trying to get rid of GMCM and to leave him alone until he retires in Oct 2017. GMCM Robertson also tried to intimidate me by telling me about his long

So when I first got there I had the idea that it was a mock trial. It was not until we start and they started going over the history of the Texas Supreme Court and how they are able to travel thought the state did I realize that the court cases were real. Which, I am glad that they were real cases because that would have been boring if they were mock. So once I got that all right in my head I started to focus on the cases the first one was at some point difficult to follow to quote my friend who’s in high school “I don’t get why everybody is so mad about so ranch there is plenty of it at Walmart at leas that’s what that one dude said”. Now, my friends, he is the class clown, so I knew it was a joke but he did ask me “for real why did he keep

a. PFC Holmes violated Article 91 of the UCMJ, “Insubordinate conduct toward warrant officer, NCO, or PO.” on one count. The article defines insubordination as contempt or disrespectful language toward a warrant officer, noncommissioned officer, or petty officer while that officer is in execution of his office. PFC Holmes swore at SSG Davis. SSG Davis informed PFC Davis that he was not to speak to him like that. However PFC Holmes continued to speak disrespectfully towards SSG Davis. PFC Holmes knew that SSG Davis was a noncommissioned officer, his squad leader, his superior, and that SSG Davis was in execution of his office.

I sought advice from SFC Lynch on regular basis, as a Staff Sergeant at the time I looked up to him and learned quite a bit from him. Yet, none of the guidance and mentoring that he did with me was never mentioned in the NCOER. As an example SFC Lynch helped me rewrite the company’s Army Body Composition Program SOP. There was no mention of this in his NCOER, and I even gave that information to the 1SG on numerous occasions throughout the entire process. It seemed to me that anytime I mentioned SFC Lynch’s name to 1SG Charter there was always some tension. When I would bring up recommendations based on SFC Lynch’s guidance it was immediately dismissed with a comment like “SFC Lynch’s by the book approach isn’t always correct.” From my

My mom said I had to go to the hospital my father said I didn't need to because it wasn't deep, but my mom kept freaking out saying I needed to but my father was right it was just part of my eyebrow The Incident In The Dalles

On June 21, 2011 Spc Brown and I were on CQ duty. 1SG, the SDO and the Platoon Sergeants conducted a walkthrough of the unit’s footprint. When they entered I was laid back at the desk watching a movie, on my phone and had my boots on the desk. I did not immediately stand up or yell “AT EASE” when she entered or exited the building. She also noticed that I wasn’t writing the log down correct and didn’t log Spc Brown out when he left for dinner chow. 1SG asked if I had read the memorandum and my 3 General Orders. I quickly responded “Negative 1Sg I do not.” Upon them leaving once again I didn’t render the proper “AT EASE” when she left the building. I was then order to study my General Orders and 1SG might stop by

This is my story: I, Robert B. Brown, am a *corporal in Division *. Approximately, a * week ago, I was summoned by * a colleague, J., who wanted information on a new recruit, SPC Pegg.
