How many of you have ever been faced with making a decision that could of caused an ethical dilemma? I came across this poster in the break room at work and it got me thinking about my past decisions in the Military, especially while dealing with contractors while deployed and now while being CONUS.

I think that the above situation CAN be ok, if the contract is up for bids. Giving a reference is ok. Pressuring to accept a particular bid due to nepotism is not.

Nepotism? You work at DIA, too?

Ethical decisions aren't usually that difficult. In situations like the one above, it's frustrating. When in doubt, consult Legal or your compliance department if you have one.
