I'm a new E5 and was just told the day before that I will have to watch an extra duty soldier(who is not in my squad) on a Saturday from 0900-1700 is there any sort of regulation to give comp days or something of that sort to NCO's who watch extra duty on weekends?
Article 15
Punishment
Off Duty

Short answer: No, there is no regulation.
There is usually local policy that spells out time off after extra duty. You'll have to check to see what the installation policy is and/or your unit policy. For example, the policy at the Fort Sill FCoE* is that Soldiers get a comp day after 24hr duty

What he said.
Now the bright side of no regulation is that I never served in a unit/post that didn't comp you if you pulled CQ or SDO/whatever, but there isn't a requirement to do so.

This is something easily answered by your unit leadership. Are you an NCO or an E5? You need to decide that sooner than later as it will forever be how you are approached, treated, responded to etc.
Ask your immediate supervisor what the policy is.

I never considered that. There is certainly a difference between being an E5 and being an NCO.

No regulation is going to cover this.. Some units will have local policies.. In my 27 years all but three of those as an NCO. It was common practice to have an NCO that was in need of some Special HighIntensity Training (SHIT) to supervise extra duty on weekends, or some units will use the NCO on CQ/ Staff Duty. If an NCO happens to be given extra duty as punishment from an ART 15, they of course would be assigned duties ie supervision appropriate to their rank. Lastly, yes, the new NCO's are often tasked with the supervision of extra duty in part for the need, and in part, what better training for a new NCO than working on their leadership technique..getting a group of mostly disgruntled humans to organize and complete a task they really don't want to do.
