Common Courtesy?

If it was a case of making an on-the-spot correction then I would say no need to immediately inform the Soldiers first line supervisor...follow up with the supervisor as soon as you can.  If it was a safety issue, then I would also say no also, but with a follow up with the supervisor is also required.  If it was something that occurred that did not involve life, limb or loss of eye sight, and had the other NCO actually take the time to come up with and implement corrective training, then I believe that professional courtesy would dictate informing his/her supervisor for corrective training.  Just my thoughts.

I would expect NCOs to act like NCOs. That being said general military authority allows for any leader to make corrections, as NCOs it is our duty to train and instruct,so corrective training falls within our pervue. Professional courtesy is informing the Soldiers coc, not leaving a deficiency uncorrected. I expect my Soldiers to do what's right and if they don't I expect leaders to scuff them up, retrain them, and send them back to me. I have my Soldiers backs, but I also have my fellow NCOs backs, if the Soldier is wrong he's wrong if the NCO is wrong I will discuss it with him/her in a manner that does not undermine their authority ( ie. Not in front of other Soldiers). In the end right or wrong every event can be used to teach and instruct, NCOs don't be to high and mighty they may be under your direct supervision but they are far from "your Soldiers", especially when it comes to corrections and training, NCOs must rely on each other to mold Soldiers into future leaders, and let's face it none of us can be e everywhere our Soldiers are all the time.
