An NCO that everyone is afraid to tell on. Screams at his soldiers and fellow NCOs. Belittles people. Keeps his Soldiers late at work for no reason. The list can go on. Everyone has had an experience like this, where you either grow with a peer and see them become toxic, or get to a unit where the toxicity already exists. If you're trying to remain professional with said unprofessional, what would you do?

Tactfully get said individual of questionable ancestry into a room and explain to him in no uncertain terms that his unprofessional actions negates anything he says about being a professional.

Also, remember that the new paperless Army loves paperwork. Write him an Informative Counseling about how his actions fail to hold to the standards described in the NCO Creed, how his behavior reflects on the rest of the NCO Corps., and that if he continues on his current path he could lose his stripes for conduct. Dig into the Leadership FM (22-6).

Who knows, perhaps losing his stripes will make him a better NCO. It worked with me. When I got promoted back to E5, I wasn't simply a E5 or a Sergeant again, I became an NCO and now I try to live the NCO Creed. I may not be able to recite it word for word, but I try to LIVE it.

Oh man. You gotta get that creed down SSG! This guy is more a peer, that I would like to see succeed, but it's all dependent on if he's willing to better himself. He doesn't like to "coddle" soldiers as he says. You have to have some sort of empathy for the guys that work for you, that's what I'm trying to get across to him. I'm not saying pamper the heck out of your soldiers, but respect them as human beings at least.

A good talking to within a group of like NCOs ought to do the trick.

I agree with the other NCOS, pull him aside and have a talk with him. Remind him of the NCO Creed, if that don't work start taking it up the chain.

Man what type of Soldiers do you guys have in your unit? Today's Soldiers usually are quick to use the COC and NCO support channel. And my favorite IG. Lol.
Where is the 1SG is he tracking what's going on?
