I've seen on two occasions where someone swore that "a racist was out to get them" and it turned out that it was the individuals misdeeds that were causing the attention, not their race. <br />The complaint just highlighted their own bad conduct, which was never mentioned at a higher level of leadership, which led to action from senior Commanders. <br />The "racist" had actually been keeping them out of the frying pan by keeping it at their level. The "racism" was just that NCO actually caring about the Soldier...Response by SFC Michael Hasbun made Nov 13 at 2019 1:10 PM2019-11-13T13:10:37-05:002019-11-13T13:10:37-05:00CW3 Private RallyPoint Member5232031<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would file a EO complaint and document every instance. Be aware of the "good ole boy" system when you are talking to people. It happens more in the Army than people would like to admit especially since it has not happened to them. When I was enlisted I was singled out by my 1SG who then was fired for being a toxic leader. Just keep calm and level headed and be above them. Good luck.Response by CW3 Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 13 at 2019 1:35 PM2019-11-13T13:35:40-05:002019-11-13T13:35:40-05:001SG Private RallyPoint Member5232568<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>"Obvious to others" still needs to have someone start the ball rolling.<br />It begins with using the chain-of-command. Sometimes people are just not aware of how their words and actions are taken by others.<br />If that is unsuccessful, document what is going on and file an EO complaint.<br />It is important to report what you have seen, not what you have heard about. Stay on the high road. The goal should not be to "get" the NCO, but rather have his/her behavior corrected.<br />Good luck, <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="856761" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/856761-11b-infantryman">SPC Private RallyPoint Member</a> . It is a tough place to be if you are under a biased leader.Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 13 at 2019 4:50 PM2019-11-13T16:50:09-05:002019-11-13T16:50:09-05:00LT Brad McInnis5232728<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Make sure that it is actual racist leadership. The last thing you want to do is go to the NCO's or JAG about it, and it is found out to be nothing. Then you are going to be forever smeared with "that soldier" and frankly, you should. If, after looking objectively at it, you still think it is, then go to the NCO's and JAG's. You have a responsibility to make sure you are correct, and a responsibility to report actual bad conduct.Response by LT Brad McInnis made Nov 13 at 2019 5:23 PM2019-11-13T17:23:07-05:002019-11-13T17:23:07-05:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member5233161<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>On this topic it wasn’t me that the post was about was just asking to get other people’s views for a fellow soldier in another unitResponse by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 13 at 2019 7:47 PM2019-11-13T19:47:29-05:002019-11-13T19:47:29-05:00MAJ Ken Landgren5233171<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If I was the commander I would put the utmost effort into this endeavor to wipe out racism.Response by MAJ Ken Landgren made Nov 13 at 2019 7:50 PM2019-11-13T19:50:33-05:002019-11-13T19:50:33-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member5233894<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Define leadership. Are you talking direct COC or company level? <br /><br />If it’s at the company level, somebody would have reported the behavior of it in fact existed. There’s always the stigma of being known as the snitch but when it comes to the well being of the unit, somebody will say something. This also goes to the direst COC as in NCO support channels. <br /><br />I have witnessed a similar complaint and I would hesitate to take any action unless you can prove without a doubt that the individual is displaying behavior that is unbecoming of a soldier. Failure to have adequate proof will likely result in (and I hate to say it but it happens) retaliatory behavior towards youResponse by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 14 at 2019 1:19 AM2019-11-14T01:19:54-05:002019-11-14T01:19:54-05:00SGT Chris Stephens5235062<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You have to be very careful when saying someone is racist. Unlike the civilian world where the race card is pulled at every opportunity, you can't do that with the military. You have to make sure something is genuinely racism and then document everything. There's a strong burden of proof.Response by SGT Chris Stephens made Nov 14 at 2019 9:59 AM2019-11-14T09:59:53-05:002019-11-14T09:59:53-05:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member5245107<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Take it up to your EO support leader, if they don't help, higher leadership is needed, and if the issue still isnt resolved IG will fix itResponse by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 17 at 2019 8:12 AM2019-11-17T08:12:25-05:002019-11-17T08:12:25-05:00PO1 Edward Speary5401858<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Are you truly the subject of racism,or do you want special treatment?Response by PO1 Edward Speary made Jan 1 at 2020 3:27 PM2020-01-01T15:27:07-05:002020-01-01T15:27:07-05:002019-11-13T01:46:43-05:00
