stellarpanther said:I understand that we are supposed to report anyone who violates regulations etc but has anyone ever considered what happens to the person who "rats out" his co-workers, it's not always good for them and I don't just mean in a violent way. I've even heard supervisors comment that rats have no place in the military and they have no respect for them. There has to be another way.
Guess what: you are an Officer, that's why you get paid the money you do and have a Commission. To be the person that can stand up and make the unpopular call, right isn't always popular.
You will eventually have to do it in your career, been there before and the last time I did it, it cost me a posting and a job I'd been working towards for over a year and a half. I was not popular but it was still the right call and I'm happy I did it.
X Royal said:To me it depends on the seriousness of the violation.
Cadet X is seen uptown in jeans is not an situation which needs reporting In my opinion.
Cadet Y is seen stealing from other cadets is one, due to the fact if you were to straighten them out properly it could result in charges against you.
X Royal, I understand where you are coming from but I think where you are getting stuck at is you're focusing solely on the "jeans" aspect of this. This isn't the real issue, trust me when I say this.
