Thank you,

Recently was involved in an one way exchange with a CPT in which she directed towards a Senior NCO (SFC) in a derogatory, belittling and denigrating expressing her personal feelings toward such SFC. Since this is to get get a general consensus of what should be done, I would like to leave out names and places out but can include that the CPT's comments towards the SFC included: "you are a sorry a$$ excuse of an NCO", " you are the biggest piece of $hit I know" and continued to go on not just about such Senior NCO but included the family members.

Considering that if this was a lower to an NCO doing this, the Soldier would be crucified. If this was an NCO to an officer?, someone would be out of a job.

I heard one day that the moment you lose your bearing you lost the argument. So the SFC did the right thing by keeping professionally quiet and bringing up to the supervisor. Situation is now: such CPT has gone around telling Soldiers how "she ripped in to this SFC with a grin"...

What would be some appropriate ways to handle this situation?

During my time in the Navy, a chief, senior chief, or master chief would've been wearing that particular officers skin as a coat. Not sure of the particulars of how it got started, but family members are off limits. Officer or not, I would've had to squash that out quickly.

Always through the chain of command first...then if you really honestly believe you have been treated un fairly then go to the IG's office.

Perhaps it was failure of the Officer's leadership and lack of respect for the SFC. Belittling a Soldier or any Family members is a NO GO. The CPT could have spoken to the SFC with respect, and in professional manner but this was not the case. The SFC should seek out the professional advice of the CSM and perhaps the CSM could correct the issue on the spot with the help of the XO, the BN or BDE CDR.

That Officer should be given the same punishment as any other soldiers. She's not only Unbecoming of a Soldier, unprofessional and a Horrible, Horrible supposed too be Leader. And she's still in a leadership position responsible for soldiers, mentally, physically and emotional well being too insure that her NCO. Continually to have a great mindset to take care and trained his Surbordinates. Without having to worry St the same time about his Family's Well Being. Its obvious that there's a problem in that Command, since this unnamed officer has not called forward to Stand on the Famous Red Carpet. I would have A Brigade or Battion Meeting or where ever this unprofessional incident took place. And administer Punishment and let all of the Young Officers know that you have no right to try too destroy a persons career. And start Chapter proceedings on this Nut Job. Just unfreaking believable.

Time to talk to the First Sergeant who should talk to the Captain behind closed ( which the CPT should of had the leadership to do) the First Seegeant should tell the CPT the errors of her way.

Highly in professional on the CPTs part. We have given and received ass chewings, but it was and should be related to the task that was failed. It should never be a personal attack. We all make mistakes and we all screw up, but that does not justify a public personal attack. CPT watch out the IG may want to talk to you.
