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?

Well, when I was in, This was called conduct unbecoming of an officer (or an NCO) to go off like this on a lower rank. At the very least it would lead to a letter of reprimand for the senior individual in a one on one encounter and could be an article 15 in a situation where by the "chewing out" was done in from of Others.

Disrespecting an NCO is inexcusable. I would utilize the NCO support channel and allow the CSM to advise the CoC. Then everyone needs to let it go and move on. dwelling on something said out of frustration and anger will cause negative results.

As a senior NCO, I would hope the troops supported him. Officers in good standing know who teaches the troops. If the troops agree with the "O", then they let it happen. If the troops support the SNSO, they should have stood behond him/her. If that was the case the SNCO would have no reason to file a complaint. I have had "O"s who hated the SNCO, but remained professional, just as an SNCO should back the "O" regardless of opinion. NCO' should not report in "O"' unless a career is in jeopardy.

Go to the CO, tell him/her what you witnessed and express your disappointment. I did the same as a Marine Corporal when on active duty, I got the results I expected, the Captain was hauled onto the carpet and I was never involved after seeing the CO.

Chain of Command first and if that didn't work, definitely be a legitimate IG complaint.
