Most leaders have families, and so do most of the Soldiers they lead. Understand the difference between having and exercising a privilege. We’ve already discussed RHIP (Rank Has Its Privileges) and how privileges are afforded because of one’s increased responsibilities. Make sure to thoroughly examine every case as it’s the first time you ever encountered such a situation, because you are holding the proverbial sword, and its swing may be terminal for someone’s career and path in life. There is less willingness to attempt and rehabilitate a junior Soldier versus a Senior NCO. We all know about it, and we all have seen it, an officer getting a smack on the hand, while an enlisted Soldier is getting the maximum punishment for the same infraction.
The term double standards should not be confused with privileges and responsibilities that are commonly associated with one’s rank instead, the term should be used to describe the gap in the application of the moral and ethical standards based on said rank.
2-Having double standardsīLUF: Do the right thing, even when no one is watching, because someone most certainly is. Your Soldiers are like (your) children they always have their eyes on you, they notice everything, and to a large extent, they model their behavior from you. These things should be second nature to every Soldier and leader, but they are also the things that most get complacent about. Keep your hair in regulation, wear a clean and properly put together uniform that fits. Keeping yourself clean and groomed, while the bare minimum, is also the first thing your subordinates will notice when they see you. Part of leading men and women is carrying yourself in a way that reflects the standards of our Army. So, think about that the next time you consider doing one of these ten things.īLUF: Know the standard, be the standard, live the standard. A leader is always facing the exponential effect – it means that the more responsibility you have, the more people are watching your every move. We wrote this in hopes it helps commanders and NCOs think through their actions before they do something. We’re not just modern-day muckrakers – we are also using our platform to raise awareness for great causes, including attracting crowds to funerals for unattended deceased veterans, raising money for troops and vets fallen on hard times, providing crisis counseling for soldiers and veterans, and helping the Army showcase major announcements and initiatives.īelow are ten of the most common ways leaders find themselves under the USAWTFM spotlight. For those troopers who serve in units, in units that are long on stupidity and short on sense, we provide a megaphone for their concerns to be heard. We give a voice to those in the formation who may typically be voiceless.
While we may be the bane of many officers and NCOs, we’re also a venue for soldiers to share some of the more absurd moments of Army life and vent a little. We’ve expanded to internet radio with hundreds of interviews under our belt, including 2 with General Officers, a website, Instagram and Twitter, and we wield our influence everywhere you can find a guidon in the Army. Army WTF! Moments has grown from a couple of guys messing around on Facebook to a following of 1.2 million people.
