How would you take a correction from a member of another branch of service? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-would-you-take-a-correction-from-a-member-of-another-branch-of-service <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This is the flip side of the question recently posted on the forum by SFC Michael Jackson. If someone from a different branch attempted to make a uniform correction on you, how would you respond? Would rank or commission make a difference?

If it was a stupid mistake like my US flag on the wrong shoulder, or maybe one pant leg unbloused or something, I&#39;d thank them for it, correct and drive on. If it were something nitpicky, I&#39;d give them the respect their rank dictates if they outranked me, but I&#39;d be laughing inside.

I had recently contacted AF Personnel at Randolph<br />and got a 215 from them that had all I<br />Was authorized andin that group were some I missed that hadn&#39;t caught up to me when I left. The post had copy in my Post 201 (I&#39;m a Post officerfrom a previous election) . Anyway he raised the stink about a Presidential Unit Citation I had.. I was there when the Wing earned it.. I was in a services Squadron but also served in the Wing&#39;s Honor Guard. He tried to say that when I left I was no longer authorized<br />To wear it, even thiough I&#39;d served in the Wing&#39;s Honor Guard when it was earned. <br />I finally went on-line and went to AF standards/Regulations and printed it off.<br />I just happened to go to Wright-Pat to the <br />Museum and prior to that was on the other side of Base where base Personnel is and went to awards and decorations and a MSG there Vetted my print-off and a copy of it, I took that back and showed the CSM, I of course following protocol, did it privately so as not to embarrass him even thiough he did it to me in the Canteen full of people.. Well, it&#39;s been 6 months and I haven&#39;t seen him since that day. . I don&#39;t want him to stay away just because I had proof I was right.. I have no hard feelings toward the man.. He just thought it was his duty(although in error) to corrrcg me .. I hadn&#39;t seen somebody take s&#39;thing as hard as he did.. I&#39;m just going to let time heal his wound, I figure when he&#39;s ready he&#39;ll come back in to the post...

If they were wrong I would try to be polite and let them know the proper regulation. If that person out ranked me I would take it up me chain of command.
