Oak Tree Counsleing, DUI class and Taking care of my own.

Can any NCO or officer help me out this please that came in pre 9/11. My NCO's got mad at me because some officer is going to recomommed me an award about me volunteering in the past. They are mad because I didn't give them the chance to try to push it for me instead I went around them. They feel like I don't trust them or anything , but it not that I just was taught that no matter what you rank is you are an adult at the end of the day and I was also taught by an senior NCO in my last unit that he qutoe " No one will take care of you better than yourself". Another I having an issue with is they are doing a Oak Tree Counsleing on us now. I came in after 9/11 and in my past unit they didn't care or wanted to know in full details what I was doing for the weekend or on leave. As long as I didn't get in trouble they didn't care. I guess I don't like how they are asking about my personal life when as long as I stay safe and come to pt on Monday then it is okay. I don't want to sound like I am complaing a lot but we also do class about DUI everytime someone get a DUI in our company. To me no matter how many class you give on DUI, suicide or etc people are still going to do it. I don't know maybe I'm the new generations of soldiers but could any NCO's help me out with this and guide me to the right directions.
