When someone tells you "good job guys", is that offensive to you?

Being an ex company EO rep myself I think some one has a chip on their shoulder. Keep encouraging your soldiers as you see fit Captain. They know if you respect them and their job well done.

Here's my .095 cents. Being only a SSG of just shy of 24 years, I would have come back to the SFC, in the most tactful way possible and tell him I find his statement intimidating and almost harassing in nature and perhaps with a bit of hostile work environment thrown in there and he can let his brain digest that.

I'm sure that most everyone here can figure out where my line of thinking is going. Kind of hard to imagine a nearly 6ft 235lb mexican be actually intimidated, but I'll play along.

CH (CPT) Heather Davis - I think many women may find the word 'girl' condescending and I agree with the use of male and female. Otherwise the idea of. "she is just a girl". It is probably hard enough for ladies as it is. So females or ladies even is a better description.
