For the sake of fun and games lets assume there is no chit for tennis shoes.

"You're out of uniform. Those boots are a safety concern. Go fix it now. We'll discuss your judgement when you get back."

1) Identify the problem.
2) Correct the problem.
3) Make sure the problem doesn't happen again.

Remember, we need to get back to "safety" before we light the person up. If we light him up and something happens from the time you identified the problem, and the time you corrected the problem it is on YOU.

This person was making a statement!

Not necessarily the right statement, but a statement none the less.

Maybe this person is getting ready for PT and wants to have extra reflective material beyond their safety belt?

Stomp on his toes and then tell him that's why we were steel toe boots. Watch him limp away in pain to go change them.

I would say WTF are you doing, this is a gross safety violation. I want to see you and your boss in my office. I will get pissed, but I won't hold a grudge.

Well I would ask if they had a chit then if not. Well the sailor would be changing them then answering some question like what where you even tthinking.

Ask for their medical waiver form (aka. Tennis shoe chit) because there must be a ligitmate reason for this. If there is not let the counseling and extra duty begin.

I think I would back up, walk out and come back in to see if I was just imagining things.. then demand to see the physical profile that says they can wear the high tops

At first I was going to ask "What's the issue?" until I read the comments (and took a second look at the picture) and realized what this Sailor is wearing.

So the first thing I would do is ask for their tennis shoe chit. If one did not exist/was expired I would then say "Follow me. We're going to see your LPO."

Well you can also make sure they stay past when every one else has left to make up for the time that they had to spend leaving the work area to correct their equipment. You waste our time I waste your time king of thing. there are always cleaning duties that need done. Also they can be safety monitor for a while. Get a brightly colored vest and they can go around checking everyone's equipment. We got a Dora the explorer bag because people were leaving things around that they shouldn't. It is funny seeing them explain the bag to the Chief...
