Trying to help a battlebuddy out. If an E6 constantly picks fights with an E5 and records them arguing w/out their knowledge is that legal?

90s army. If I'm the e-5 we will fight for real. In today's army I would start reporting the NCO through my CoC and NCO support channel.

The term picks fights is subjective. Need an actual description of what's happening. If the E6 is asking if they're in the proper uniform or have their equipment its not picking a fight. If they are simply berating them without it being constructive that's different. As for recording without permission it depends. If it's in public it's legal. If it's a phone conversation of something it is not

Nothing uniform related, the Senior NCO in the argument has a personal dislike for the Junior NCO, he reports to work on time all the time, always right uniform and respects all leadership but this NCO has issues with a lot of other NCO within the unit and is known for being a poor leader

At best, it's chickenshit and a gross abuse of rank. The legality of it is perhaps not really the issue. It's morally and ethically wrong, and should be subject to the some strict critical review up the chain of command immediately.

Exactly how I felt about the situation. That NCO had to plan on starting an argument to tip the odds in their favor with sneaky proof the other NCO was unaware of until after the fact
