When I was in my first company, I had problems with a PFC in a different squad who thought it was perfectly fine to openly disrespect me even though I outranked him. I couldn't correct him, as his squad leader wasn't very fond of me and gladly let it happen. Now I've switched companies, but the same PFC continues to approach me with disrespect and threatens to get his leadership if I defend myself

Firmly with soft gloves SPC Banks. Remember, you were a PFC before being promoted. Show him the way to salvation, remind him of the consequences of his actions, guide him back on track, but never lose your cool. Punishment and anger are not solutions to the problem. Keep calm; guide, coach and mentor.

had a E2 do that to me, Top gave me 5 privates to do some menial 'make work' detail. I was a Spec4. He told me in no uncertain terms I wasnt a NCO and to take a flying leap. third time I told him to get to work he got more belligerent. Lo and behold Top came around the corner and heard him. He formally released us to our place of business. from what I heard he did that 'make work' detail 5 or 6 times under Tops supervision. we didnt do that parade rest stuff some type about, but that never happened again. had to write a statement on his e1 behalf. few weeks later he tried to burn the barracks down so he was gone anyway.

If it was a Marine I would first make on the spot corrections. If he proceeded to be belligerent and disrespectful I would give him two options. Either correct himself or we will do paperwork (I try to not do paperwork so that their career is not hindered). From then on it is easy. If he is not on one of yours then you will have to talk to his leadership to get paperwork started. Negative counseling's and whatnot. Usually a good ass chewing will correct a deficiency.

If you figure it out let me know. I have the same issue and even going up the chain I'm limited to what I can do.

It was pretty much dog eat dog till you got that 3rd stripe for us. Those that signed for 6 got A1C right out of boot so it wasn't a TIG thing. If the first Sgt got involved it was just bad all the way around for everyone involved. Lots of fights in the barracks but we usually worked it out without sr nco involvement.

I would go and explain to the Squad leader that you are having some problems with a PFC doing what he or she is told. That NCO should go down there and straighten things out if he doesn't then go above him. If that doesn't work call me and I will be glad to come down there and straighten him out once and for all.

SFC Jim Ruether - Have went to the NCO and the issue comes down to a she said she said BS game and unless I have physical proof of the occurrence not much I can do.

Well then you are just going to have to wait until she does something in front of a witness or stage a situation where her mouth will get her in trouble in front of said witness. If that doesn't work steer clear of her as she sounds like trouble. Good Luck and thanks for serving our country!

Be the first to report his disrespectful manner. Documentation is everything. Paper and pen or your Swords. Document everything because it could get physical and you may hurt him more than he hurts you. Then it would appear that you are the villain, but documentation will be your proof of innocent. I didn’t know to do that in my time and I became the villain. My case is a “Blaming the Victim” and the hatred came from my own defense attorneys, white racist men who had no accountability and answered to one. No pictures were taken and no report was filed for my account in my defense. I have been fighting for 41years and 10 months. I have been a veteran for going on 7 years still trying to get all that was taken for me.
