How should someone handle a disrespectful PFC (as a SPC)?

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

I hear what everyone is saying...this is a tough situation, even in the civilian world. The biggest thing YOU must do, WRITE it all down; date, time, situation, soldiers involved, use your cell phone to take pictures if you have to, etc, because it will be YOUR word against HIS! Sure, let him call in his leadership and you can show them your proof of what kind of dirt-bag he is. He was probably a bully as a kid, and still one as an adult.

It was a different time. Actually, that wasn't really supposed to fly in 2007 either but all of our squad leaders/ drill instructors from the Island had cut their teeth on the streets of fallujah while we were still in HS so they just cared about teaching us the right way and keeping us alive, even if it did that that with some

As a last resort, you may want to use your commander's or 1SG's open door policy, if they have one, of course letting your own leadership know. I would not necessarily suggest mentioning the specifics, but a blanket conversation about respect, and the lack of it in your unit. This is something that may surface within a command climate survey, and should be addressed if it is a problem.
