Brought it up to my plt Sgt about a conflict between me and a NCO for mistreatment while I'm going through my MEB process. I have requested for a different NCO. Situation was brought to my 1sgt from my plt Sgt but no action was taken. But I still have the same NCO as I brought to my plt sgt that this will be a future issue and I'm concern about my condition that I will have a breakdown and lose it

I had this happen to me when I was an E-3. I wasn't going through an MEB though. I had NCO's who would not leave me alone. The reason was because I was put in a unit that didn't require my MOS so I was basically useless. In the end it got pretty heated and I had to check myself. I was able to get a sit down with the 1SG and was transferred to a proper unit. You have to stay on your Plt Sgt. Bug the hell out of him if you have to. Maintain your military bearing!!!! I can't stress this enough. Be professional. If none of that works you'll have to see a Chaplain. Then heads will roll. Good luck SPC, maintain your military bearing!!!

Remember this when you are an NCO, don't be cruel. But don't be a pussy either.

First, we do not know the time-line that the requested changes has already been on...everything takes time, so the fact that it has not happened does not mean it will not happened.
The most troubling thing in your whole post was your last statement 'I will have a breakdown and lose it'. Brother..sister (D H. could be either)...if this is effecting you beyond duty hours, get professional help NOW. These things are always in the details, which we have none of, but if are about to breakdown or lose it, we need this addressed first.

Three routes you can take.
1) You stand up, pull that NCO off to the side and have a "rank off", one on one discussion with him.
2) Find an NCO you trust, and ask him if he could talk to your SL about what's going on. It'll help even better if that NCO is close to your squad leader. Sometimes people don't see things for what they are until their friends mention it.
3). Take proper channels, and if nothing still gets done about it, then go to IG. I can promise you it'll get fixed then.

SSG (Join to see) - Definitely. Situational awareness is key in this incident. A good time-honored bond is needed for sure.

I've never heard of a rank off talk, that would probably get you In worse off place then when the drama started from.

SSG (Join to see) - I have had a few of these with my old squad leader. Seen things get fixed in a matter of minutes, after men/women talk like men/women with no line in between.
