Has anyone ever received any flak for using this forum to air grievances? Like, "My NCO is a POS and what do I do about it"?

The correct way would be to use your 1SG's open door policy as well as contact a mentor and seek professional guidance ways on how to deal with the situation. Ensure you keep it professional and make sure both the good and bad are give. For all involved.

There is better ways to handle a POS NCO then coming online to bash! Regardless if it's warranted or not! Some of the things the military is /has taught is to address things directly not out and around. You have an issue fix it! Work to make it better and use that chain of command. Is it easy? Fuck no! Social justice isn't justice... It's a cowards way out! We have lost sight on how to deal with issues directly and correctly!

To me it sounds like someone who is wanting attention. It LOOKS like an integrity issue with the CoC if they are doing that. (Looks, not necessarily means it is.)
