My previous NCOIC disgusted me and represents how leadership is lacking nowadays. What would you have done?

This is an NCO I wish was in my COC... It is the responsibility of the NCO to TRAIN SOLDIERS. Whether it be PT, Combat Skills, admin skills etc. THis is the reason NCO's exist. This guy would recieve special attention from this CSM.....

Haha, I always wondered how the CSM/1SG would find out about every little thing going on in the unit. It's one of the great mysteries of the world. :)

SGT Jackson:
Let your defining moments that frustrate you motivate you to excel and mentor and develop those that you can inspire.
It wasn't that long ago as an E-5, when I was punched in the face at formation, and it took sheer tenacity to get back into formation and push forward. This was in the late 80's when I was the first female in my unit.
Remember regardless of the situation you have to maintain military bearing, and professionalism. Take the high road regardless, and give back especially when it wasn't given to you.
Two wrongs do not make a right.

yup,, i can completely see that happening, especially with todays NCO's, and ESPECIALLY the ones that were passed on up through the ranks just because we were deployed all of the time. I agree with the CSM, I too would like to have this guy in my unit... but the funny thing about Karma, she rarely misses the people that need her.
