United States military enlisted ranks

they are not seeing the bigger picture; there are rules and regulations in place for a reason, to protect good order and discipline for the greater good of the military and our nation. During this Session Long Project I will give examples of fraternization, and I will recommend the business decision my command should take regarding fraternization. Most people think that fraternization is just between a female and male but that is only one form of fraternization. “All the services prohibit personal and business relationships between officers and enlisted members, calling them prejudicial to good order and discipline. Personal…

August 20th 1986 AR 600-20 (Command Policy) was implemented into the Army Regulations. It wasn’t until March 18th 2008 when chapter 4 (Military Discipline and Conduct) par 4-14 was revised and implemented regarding “Relationships between Soldiers of different grade”. The AR strictly states “Soldiers of different grades must be cognizant that their interactions do not create an actual or clearly predictable perception of undue familiarity between an officer and an enlisted Soldier, or between an…

hands out directions and his subordinates take on their necessary roles to accomplish the mission and follow the same plan as he laid out. Some notable exchanges include the exchange following the encounter at the crossroads where a trooper is seen firing at wounded and dying Germans. CPT Winters forcibly corrects this trooper and takes the necessary measures to ensure that the role he assigns the trooper is accomplished. This trooper follows his direction and accomplishes the task as assigned…

leader but other factors such as relationship building and truly lowering yourself and putting yourself in other people’s shoes to better understand their situation. As for leadership in a more worldly and wider viewpoint I was given the chance to be a leader in my AFJROTC class in my school. As a freshman going into the program I was very intimidated because it was a very military based course and the upperclassmen were all dressed up in military wear. I mean as a 14 year old who wouldn’t…

Within my organization, there are several examples in which Humble Inquiry could be put to good use. Barriers set up for by social humility and military structure can make it difficult to get tasks accomplished. If we could all learn the art of asking versus telling, these barriers would be less prevalent and we could accomplish our tasks in a less dramatic way. As a military member, it is defined for us how we should treat our superiors. It is customary to always address the officers as…

There is a significant difference between the ranks of enlisted military members and those who are commissioned as officers. Besides titles and rank insignia, officers carry a heavy burden and responsibility with their job; leading everyone under them. This is not a duty that many can accept and perform successfully, as the training to become an officer proves. Months upon months of rigorous physical and mental training, followed by years of proving themselves to their men and women. Some…

“Colonel Jessup said he ordered the Code Red! What did we do wrong?” and Lt. Cdr. Joanna Galloway replied, “It's not that simple...”. This quote was said after the trial was done and the two Marines were found not guilty of all charges except one. This shows that although they did not do anything wrong, they are still going to receive a punishment from the government since they attacked them in a legal manner and the lieutenant commander understands that. In “The Great Debaters” the legal…

once said “some men just want to watch the world burn” in reference to Batman’s villain, the Joker. A similarly destructive attitude is festered in the antagonist; Iago of Shakespeare’s play Othello. Iago is motivated by an undeserved hate toward the protagonist, Othello, which leads to chaos and sparks a classic Shakespearean tragedy. Throughout the play, Iago allows jealous suspicion and anger to fuel a hate for the Othello. From Iago’s perspective, he “hate[s] the Moor. My cause is hearted.…

have been able to join but there is more to professionalism than just using the word. It is the way they act, talk and look in front of others, especially those outside of the service. Being professional will help and individual a great deal. Whether they remain in the military or get out professionalism is needed in all organizations. If they decide to remain in the military that professionalism will help them gain the trust and confidence from their leaders and allow them to go to more…
