Why You Shouldn't Disobey a Nco

Those who were within my chain of command understood that I was fully able to do my current job but did not allow me to get a pass when it came to a personal choice that I made. By the chain Commanding Officer not condoning my actions and reducing me to the rank of second class Petty Officer impacted me in a way that would change the course of my outlook not only professionally but also personally. Being reduced in rank forced me to look it myself and my actions differently. I no longer utilized the lenses that I previously used. I had to humble myself, understand that certain personal actions were not acceptable and finally, I had to make a solid decision to change how a balanced everything that I do in life. 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. What I learned through this process is that “Life is like photography. You need the negatives to develop.” With that being understood, I decided that I would not allow my negative actions define my future work ethics or

Many of the standards that I would have frowned upon outside the u s army are essential to the work success within the United States military. Punishment of not following orders is not deemed to be a positive occurrence in an average person’s life, whereas the United States military guide maintains that punishment strengthens my determination and discipline and enables me to learn and fully take the importance of following orders in US army seriously. Not following orders is not an optional choice while living the standards of the United States military.

Because of this inherent hierarchal quality, respect must be established between the ranks to ensure that tactical operations continue to fit within a strategic plan. Additionally, in order to successfully mobilize a military, some sort of structure must be enforced to ensure critical elements such as communication, discipline, and accountability are properly maintained. If hierarchal respect, particularly in the sense of customs and courtesies is not maintained, the effectiveness and efficiency of a military is inhibited. In combat situations, if this respect is not well established, it can put the lives of soldiers in danger. Furthermore, in most cases NCOs have more combat experience or, at least, more experience in their MOS. In this sense they are better equipped to lead lower enlisted soldiers into combat situations, to protect their soldiers, and to ensure the completion of the mission. This is why they have earned the position of a non-commissioned officer in the first place and should therefore be respected. I can understand the logic behind this point of view.

The purpose of this counseling is to document your violation of UCMJ Article 91, insubordinate conduct toward a Commissioned Officer, CPT (P) Woodard, Rosilyn. O/a 221700OCT2015, LT Namkung, while I were addressing you that you proceeded to walk away and rolled your eyes. I deemed your actions were blatant acts of insubordination and unbecoming of an officer. I will not tolerate this type of behavior and expect better from an officer of your caliber.

To follow orders within the unit promotes morale, Esprit de corps, the completion of tasks and details that promote the benefit of the unit as a whole, and transition of communication in the unit. When orders are not being followed, it creates a doubt within the mind of not only the Noncommissioned Officer, but the other core leaders of the soldier. The soldier himself or

There are many reasons why a soldier should follow the orders they are given and every single one is important. An order is a tasking given to a soldier of something that needs to be done in a timely and efficient manner. The three main reasons why it is important for a soldier to follow the orders they are given is to be combat effective, disciplined, and to just be a good soldier. When a soldier doesn't follow the orders they are given in not only hurts themselfs but it hurts the team and the goals of the mission. When the mission objectives are hurt by not following orders this weakens everything that is necessary to win the war.

When u take that oath you are making a promise to the military to be a solider and that means to obey all military orders. Greater orders mean bigger consequences. Military members who fail to obey the lawful orders of their superiors risk serious consequences. To obey someone means to comply with or fulfill the commands, restrictions, wishes, or instructions of that specific person. We are taught as children to obey our higher-ups. Starting from our parents, teachers, managers, police officers. When a soldier doesn't follow the orders they are given in not only hurts themselves but it hurts the team and the goals of the mission. When the mission objectives are hurt by not following orders this weakens everything that is necessary to win the war. Actual knowledge does to need to be shown if the individual reasonably should have known of the duties. it is important to obey the orders given are to be combat effective, disciplined, and just to be a good member of the military. Everything you do not only reflects on you, but your superiors in your section, Company, Brigade, Division, and the

Refusing to follow an order or not following it precisely indicates a soldier's unwillingness to compromise for the general good of the military and presents one's actions to be more self-centered and selfishly motivated than should be for a successful soldier. An individual who does not understand the gravity of orders in the military is one who can quickly become a hindrance to others' ability to execute tasks smoothly and quickly regardless of any persona factors and emotional sate during any given day. This is of course

The actions that i made also affect's my family in many ways also. Not only if i were to die and leave them with nothing but the bills for my funeral and death but also the pride that I have in my family and in my name. My family has been in the military as far back as anyone can remember. My Father is in the Navy along with his two brothers my Uncle Pat and my Uncle Todd, My Uncles Mitch is retired now from the Army along with my Moms father, my Grandfather and my Dad's Father was in the Marines. I also have a Great Uncle who served in World War II in the Army as a bottom hatch gunner in a B-17 bomber, so the standards that my family holds me to and the expectations they have are held high and I plan to uphold the honor and high expectations that my family deserves and entrust me with by being and setting the standards that a soldier in the United States Army should be held accountable to. In turn not to only lose the trust and responsibility that not only my Non Commissioned Officers and chain of command have with me but also to lose my families trust and expectations would be the most costly, demeaning and catastrophic punishment of them all. Along with losing the trust and expectations of my Non Commissioned Officers, chain of command and my family I would also put my First Sergeant in a bad spot that he does not deserve. My First Sergeant is responsible of all of the soldiers under his command and if anything

(2) willfully disobeys a lawful command of his superior commissioned officer; shall be punished, if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct, and if the offense is committed at any other time, by such punishment, other than death, as a court-martial may direct.”

Ethics matter in any kind of business or organization, but they are especially significant when it comes to the US Army (Blackburn, 2001). The reason behind this involves the chain of command and the risk to life and limb that are such large parts of military life. When a soldier in the Army has no ethics, he or she can cause trust and respect problems with other members of his or her unit. The US military is a stressful organization for most people involved with it, and people's lives are on the line frequently. Issues like PTSD and other medical problems are commonplace for those who leave the military and must adjust to civilian life, so it is very important that those who are in the Army work with their colleagues and higher-ups to get the help and support they need during and after their service. There is more to ethics in the Army than the problems that military individuals can face, though.

first thing I am going to talk about in this essay is the seven army values and the importance of them to the army. In the US army we are taught to live by the Seven Army Values. They are broken down to us in the acronym “LDRSHIP”. Loyalty “Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. constitution, the Army, and other soldiers. ” Duty “ Fulfill you obligations. ” Respect “ Treat people as they should be treated . ” Selfless Service “ Put the welfare of the nation, the Army and your subordinates above your own. ” Honor “ Live up to the army values.” Integrity “Do what is right legally and morally. ” and Personal Courage “ Face fear, danger or adversity (physical or moral). ” We are all drilled on these seven army values from day one of basic

In 1974, the Supreme Court case disputed the constitutionality of two UCMJ articles. Howard Levy, a captain serving as a physician in the Army, was charged under Articles 133 and 134. 134 punishes “all disorder and neglect to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces.” [8] Levy was charged as “wrongfully and dishonorably” making “intemperate, defamatory, provoking, disloyal, contemptuous and disrespectful” statements to Special Forces personnel and enlisted personnel who were patients or under his supervision.

PFC Pete you are being counseled for insubordinate behavior towards your Squad Leader SGT Galarza, we have addressed multiple issues in the past on improving your attitude and overall military bearing towards the leadership in your platoon you have failed to make any progress and continue to disrespect your leadership. On 13 September 2017 you were giving clear and concise instructions by your Squad Leader to ensure the entire platoon was to help with the maintenance on our missiles. You decided to stay on your phone while the rest of the platoon was engaged in maintenance once SGT Galarza noticed you were not doing as you had been briefed you were given the guidance again and you decided once again not to do as told. You climbed the equipment

I didn’t want to be classified as a shit bag NCO, im still learning my job as a specialist. I know I have the potential to be a great soldier and a great Team Leader but at the time that wasn’t the title I was ready to take, this goes along the lines of not being selfish. But on the other hand I do not want to be considered a bad Soldier just because I didn’t take the offer or the opportunity when it was presented to me. Anyone can be a Non Commissioned Officer but living up to the name is a different story. In a way I feel that leadership should respect your decision if you feel that you’re not ready to take the next step forward to becoming a Non Commissioned Officer. Hard work alone does not automatically qualify a person as a leader. You can have someone who is a great runner, always present, but have a shitty attitude, can’t pass a portion of their Physical Training Test, always in trouble and don’t know how to do/teach their job but just because that soldier has the right promotion points, went to Warrior Leadership Course, has the required time as a specialist they are promoted to a NCO.I understand why my leaders was surprised about me saying no to advancing to the next level, nowadays nobody says no to advance to the next rank, some actually want to become great
