When Is it ok to bend the regulations for an NCO when the job is concerned?

I ran into difficulties with that SGT a lot, I was told since I am a SPC i don't deserve respect. Every Time I showed the command the regulations on the right way I was always dismissed and when shit hit the fan I was to blame. What is a lower enlist supposed to do? I ended up being tagged with poor duty performance because I stood up for myself and called them out on the regulations. I am not to sure how it is supposed to be I always had great leaders until I PCS'd to Bliss and then kicked out on my butt for poor duty performance. Which now is stuck in my head and I cant function in the reserves now. I am afraid to do what is right.

Everyone deserves respect commensurate with their ability. Lower enlisted must respect the rank, but a useless soldier is a useless soldier regardless of rank and someone higher up the chain needs to be notified if someone is abusing their authority.

IG is there for a reason, your career is not something to be destroyed to protect someone who isn't worth protecting.

Document everything and go have a discussion with JAG; they can give you further guidance.

I did all that I got blown off from JAG and IG. I am in the reserves going to get promoted and worry about me for once. Then maybe go back in to active
