Is it standard or even typical as a form of disciplinary action for an NCO to call a soldier's parents to complain about the service member?

Hello Rallypoint Members!
I have a question regarding disciplinary actions that I have received from my detachment SFC. So I got myself into some trouble with an MP (argued with an MP after having a few beers), not gonna go into great detail (I own the mistakes that I made) but I am confused about one thing that my detachment sergeant has done regarding my disciplinary actions. The day after my altercation with the MP’s, my detachment SFC called me into her office, she informed me about what reprimands I could be facing (which I expected) but she also made me write down my mother and father’s phone numbers and she actually called them to tell them how much of a dirt bag I had been (which I did not expect). I am a grown man and can face the legal and moral repercussions of my own actions but was taken aback to find out that my NCO had called my family to inform them of the mistakes that I had made. Is this standard procedure in the military or even a typical form of disciplinary action for an NCO to make?
Any and all input is appreciated!
Thanks!

Hahaha wait I’m laughing too hard to type. lol if they did, get in a different squad, platoon, company, battalion, brigade or division or whatever ever it takes to get away from that NCO. When to poo hits the fan, is he/she going to call the enemy’s mother?

As a QUALIFIED NON-EXPERT on this matter, I think it's part of the new WOKE military. Next may very well include spankings. Where am I wrong here? Is the military not funded, trained and maintained for the protection of our Country? Next there will be new awards and medals with little rainbows and kittens.
LET ME BE CLEAR HERE... I was drafted July 1967. I lived a short $0.25 bus ride from the Ambassador Bridge to Canada. It would've been easier to get to Canada than to get to the place they wanted me to report for being sworn-in. I was tempted, to say the least. But I am an American. My dad and uncles from both sides of my family went to war because our freedom was worth facing death to maintain.
We need to return to basic understandings. Being physically powerful is more important than being a good knitter. Having skills in weaponry and survival is how we defeat and intimidate our foes... Not singing little rhyming songs or looking down our noses at those whose intent is to kill us.
In kindergarten I learned "sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me." Not bad for a 5 year old... but absolutely absurd for the military.
I love you guys. I love my Country. I am in awe of all those lying in peace beneath those white markers who've preserved Liberty and Justice for all of us.

Calling a SM's parents could be a good and bad thing. Some parents were and are Veterans. Some SM's don't want to disappoint their parents. And calling the parents just might get the SM' attention and if not then the parents won't be shocked when their son/daughter is involuntarily separated

Are you kidding me. She called Mom and Dad. How unprofessional that is. You handle the problem with the service member only.
