How many NCOs have had senior level officers directly and inappropriately interfere with their leadership?

I've been lucky enough to have Senior Officers stay out of my lane and not interfere with my leadership. But then, I don't give them a reason to jump into my lane.

Except for one MSgt, I've never had a Senior Officer or NCO overrule anything I had even done in over 20 years in uniform. I took that up the chain right away with that MSgt and He was relieved of His position within two days as a result. (I was a SSgt at the time) I have however had some outstanding support from My seniors. I don't feel I did anything unreasonable and apparently they didn't either and both supported and said the same things I did. Most thing never got to their level anyway, I managed to handle and correct things at a lower level most the time. I also found that My support and standing up for My own people they would do things above and beyond what was expected because they wanted to. I gave proper respect to rank but was not intimidated by it, what is right is right, what is wrong is wrong. To get respect first You have to give respect and don't confuse that with having no backbone !

I have. With 8 layers of chain of command, I told my supervisor I was going to give Airman X a letter of counseling. My superiors didn't like that and basically ordered to verbally counsel the Airman and document it via MFR or it would come back at me cone evaluation time. I have many stories, this is just one of them.
