Ensley, Paul S. A few days ago, I SPC Ensley, was caught lying to SGT Henshaw about, my whereabouts, why I did not contact him before, or when I was leaving, and as well as my reason for hiding that information in the first place.

In the United States Military, there are rules and regulations you must follow, one of them being respect to a non commissioned officer. No matter the circumstance, whether you agree or not, you are not allowed to talk back, physically fight back, or question judgment. If this does happen, there are consequences and repercussions from the actions taken on your part.

If a Soldier who is junior to me sees my behavior, he may believe that I, being a Specialist, am right because I outrank him.

I am a Specialist, a rank earned by showing that I have the knowledge to “specialize” in my field.
