How would you take a correction from a member of another branch of service?

This is the flip side of the question recently posted on the forum by SFC Michael Jackson. If someone from a different branch attempted to make a uniform correction on you, how would you respond? Would rank or commission make a difference?

It would depend on what the correction was. If it was a stupid mistake like my US flag on the wrong shoulder, or maybe one pant leg unbloused or something, I'd thank them for it, correct and drive on. If it were something nitpicky, I'd give them the respect their rank dictates if they outranked me, but I'd be laughing inside.

If they were right then I would correct myself. If they were wrong I would try to be polite and let them know the proper regulation. If that person out ranked me I would take it up me chain of command.

I'm a former SSG, AF and so is the CSM, Army and he raised a ruckus with me when I had come into the Post we both belong, about my rack.. I had recently contacted AF Personnel at Randolph
and got a 215 from them that had all I
Was authorized andin that group were some I missed that hadn't caught up to me when I left. The post had copy in my Post 201 (I'm a Post officerfrom a previous election) . Anyway he raised the stink about a Presidential Unit Citation I had.. I was there when the Wing earned it.. I was in a services Squadron but also served in the Wing's Honor Guard. He tried to say that when I left I was no longer authorized
To wear it, even thiough I'd served in the Wing's Honor Guard when it was earned.
I finally went on-line and went to AF standards/Regulations and printed it off.
I just happened to go to Wright-Pat to the
Museum and prior to that was on the other side of Base where base Personnel is and went to awards and decorations and a MSG there Vetted my print-off and a copy of it, I took that back and showed the CSM, I of course following protocol, did it privately so as not to embarrass him even thiough he did it to me in the Canteen full of people.. Well, it's been 6 months and I haven't seen him since that day. . I don't want him to stay away just because I had proof I was right.. I have no hard feelings toward the man.. He just thought it was his duty(although in error) to corrrcg me .. I hadn't seen somebody take s'thing as hard as he did.. I'm just going to let time heal his wound, I figure when he's ready he'll come back in to the post...
