How do you address obvious double standards in your ranks?

SPC Jason Gaudette, I must say, I am surprised by the responses you have received. In my, young, enlisted days I would have mentioned my concerns to my First Sergeant. I would have been terrified of negative results, but my First Sergeant would have shielded me by not mentioning my name as he spoke of the perception of a double standard. He would have the ear of the commander and would mention it as a concern between the officer and enlisted ranks. The Commander would have addressed the concern in the manner he chose as appropriate. As the Commander, I would be at fault for this perception. Real or not, negative perceptions undermine good order and discipline. The mission must come first. It would be incumbent upon me to clean my house. I would start by learning the issues. I would finish by enforcing the standards. If your unit doesn't work like this, I am sorry. If you have this sense of fairness and equality... rise up in the ranks and make a difference. You can become the change. Don't be discouraged, use your chain of command and become a meaningful part of that chain. Be a cheerleader among your troops and take care of them. Be sure to head the words of SFC John Long though.

That's life, its the same in the civilian world, suck it up and do your job the best you can and someone will notice.

Though it can be a double edged sword, I call it out when I see it.
