How can I end harassing behavior from my Plt Sgt (attempted fraternization)? Is there any specific Army regulation or guidance?

My PLT SGT is making my life hell. He is overly familiar, inept in every way, has zero respect for boundaries. He
msgs me to discuss his marital issues, sends long voice messages asking for advice on weekends. He's an E6. I'm a SPC(P). Ive reported him and told him to stop. Ive explained professionalism. Nothing is done. Army specifics I can use to put an end to this once and for all?

First, make sure you have clearly and bluntly told your PLT SGT you find his behavior unacceptable and you will not tolerate it. Retain the voicemails and any other off-duty, non-duty related conversations he has had with you. Document the events objectively, and stay on topic (if his shoes aren't shiny or his leadership skills are lacking, that's not relevant right now...focus on any harassment or inappropriate conversations or actions). Write down memo-for-records with dates and times. Next, find the sexual harassment representatives on post and bring your documentation. You have the power to stop this. Your command chain has a responsibility to protect you all the way to the top, and they will.

SFC Carlos Cruz - Please cite the military/DoD regulation or Federal law for that.

SFC Carlos Cruz - As the MSgt stated no it is not illegal to record phone calls in which you are part of the conversation and no you dont have to notify the other party you are recording, again as long as you are part of the conversation doing so is not wiretapping because you arnt tapping the other persons phone you are recording conversations on your phone. Quit trying to discourage this young woman from doing what she needs to in order to be safe from what sounds to be unwanted and unwarranted attention from someone in her command chain, her Sgt is out of line and should be held accountable.

SPC Troy Shelby you must have a very small brain to comprehend what I was I forming this soldier when it come to issue the get get her in trouble.
She have the right to go to high command & file sexual harassment. Read the regulations before you can said something the will destroy anyone. I am not discourage her or anyone when it come to unacceptable behavior. See JAG if you have any Questions & Recording another person is illegal. The army gave Regulations the can help you understand how the army run.

SPC Troy Shelby The MSgt is wrong & if you ask JAG you will find out the is illegal to record anyone. She have. Chain of command if she can go higher if she don’t trust people with it in her command. This is a clear SHARP issue and she doesn’t need to put up with this behavior.
Sometime you must read before you provide a real bad advice, The Army isn’t the Air Force & MSgt is Air Force. Ask when in doubts. See JAG when in doubts.

If you have reported these acts to your Company Chain of Command and nothing has been done, take this up with your BN EO/EEO/SHARP reps.

Could you file harrasment with the provost marshalls office? Or even civilian SO/PD?

My niece had a similar problem - and nothing was being done - I called the command - and guess what - she had a FEMALE Major who basically told her to 'suck it up buttercup" or get out - I called her commander - and that was that - Sometime you need to keep going up the chain to get ACTION -

This is very alarming. If a person exhibits reckless behavior like this you really don't know where it may lead. He sounds like he sees you as something of interest or believes he has some type of relationship. If he comes to the point where he feels rejected you don't know what he may do. You can't be rational with an irrational person. I would refer this to a SHARP rep or just open door this all the way up the BN CSM.

Hey i don't agree with her either, however it goes without saying that even in the military, we have bad leaders. I have encountered them so I will not act like they are not there, but it isn't the majority, and eventually they get found out.
