I have already asked my NCOs to discuss the ramifications of divisive rhetoric and criticism of our incoming CiC. However, some Soldiers feel the need to rebel. When do comments become grounds for separation?

My policy was, politics and religion were subjects off-limits in the work center. I did make sure that all could get absentee ballots. I respected everyone's right to attend religious services when possible and defended it when necessary.
We had a saying back in my day, "A happy sailor is a bitching sailor, and boys, we're having a ball."

have different thougths or point of wiew is our patrimony but we may not have dissension by the lines and principes we follow and trust. We may, and that is usefull, have different manner to come to the same result, we may have different opinion but only on the measure that constitute our equality and patrimony. Also be a little rebel may be usefull if such our indipendence is put a service of corp and used for potentite our activity, for enrich our professionalism. Differently it may constitute an impairment of our force and our mission, may be a weakness on our activity. We my say we all are a little rebel and may discuss, but ever following the interest of the corp we are part, the valors we trust, ever acting for the common well and for enrich and growth on our life, improving our ability
