Not physically, but I have stood up to senior NCOs who were wrong and throwing temper tantrums because I pointed it out to them. (Always respectfully) I also have stood up to my Commander and 1SG when they tried to railroad one of my soldiers. I didn’t dispute the soldier was in the wrong, but if you’re going to discipline my Joes, you’re going to do it properly.

I didn't think our voices were raised but through a closed door down the hall my guys said they could hear us. The SMSgt was chewing out one of my troops without going through me. I didn't allow anyone to deal with my guys unless they went to me first. On top of that the action in question was my action not my guy's.

My first assignment out of training, my E6 was very strict about me following the CoC, which got stressful for me since I was working in our company AO, and my desk looked right into the commander's office... I was working in the company Personnel Action Center temporarily, so sometimes I had to get stuff signed off on by the CO/1SG, which didn't require me to go through the CoC (remember, first assignment). But there was a day that an NCO from another platoon tried to come at me for some bull, and watching my E6 go toe to toe with another E6 for daring to look at me sideways without talking to him first - especially since I hadn't actually done anything wrong, was eye opening. And watching him go at a CID investigator for trying to pull me out of the office for an interview without even identifying himself to my first-line supervisor and letting him know why he wanted to talk to me (my first line knew I was upset because my boyfriend was the one being charged with murder and I'd been harrassed by others in our unit because of it since the victim was also in our unit) let me know that I would be protected by him, no matter who it was.

The soldier doesn't leave you when you return home and many Americans won't like you for that, no matter how many times they say thank you for your service. We live in a world where everyone wants to cancel everyone....and as veterans we're blunt and honest and your average person doesn't like hearing the truth, they're used to people lying to them with a smile....when us soldiers are used to a little conflict at work, then after work we're playing video games together like nothing happened....Not when you return home. Like I had to tell my daughter's mother's landlord off with the truth last year because he wouldn't fix anything, I only spoke the truth, so this year one month from lease being up he says we're going to sell. Like he couldn't have said that last year or at Christmas. He came by this morning to do an "inspection" , more to harass a mother and I let him have it. Paid him 60 grand rent in 4 years and he maybe spent a couple hundred in repairs. Sorry the soldier never leaves you and by many you'll never be liked for it.

I had an issue with a Sgt while I was a Cpl. We were TAD to Yuma and we were the two Senior NCO's for all of the Barracks. We had 2 people on all shifts, and each team divided it into 12 on, 12 off. It was sweet. This Sgt was female and thought that all Men were holding a grudge against her. (Could not be more wrong. The Marines doesn't just hand out Sgt Stripes, so she deserved my respect.) She wrote me up three times in 6 weeks for not being in the Barracks while she was on duty. I never got in her face, but pointed out that she was not present while I covered the night shift. She was at the Female Barracks. It was not an issue, but she felt I needed to be taught a lesson.
Finally, our Captain called me in for a NJP. When I returned to my command he handed me my SRB, with the NJP sticking out of the top with a Match taped to the top. I took that as an order.

She was gone by then. She was stationed on the East Coast and I was on the West. Never crossed paths again.

My LT & I got into a shouting match & then a fist fight while in Iraq. We both had UCMJ action. I was fed up with him is why it escalated. He would bad mouth senior officers in front of the men, cuss orders in front of the men, & then ended up being ordered that whenever he had anybody fill in for his duties, he had to clear it 24 hours before. I just came off a night mission & then he didn't show up for his duties. I was getting yelled at by everybody for not doing his duties. I confronted him in his room. What I should have done is gone to the CO at the time who gave him that order in the first place. He had authority over the messed up young officer, not me. A major obstacle we did have was our platoon had been passed along to various commands as the mission requirements changed. Nobody was really fully in charge of the LT. It was still no excuse of where it went.

There is no point.. It is better to use actions to negotiate to fork them into a position you desire.
