Never agreed to this! Like when 1SG/CSM yells at NCO for Soldier getting that DUI? Why did you allow your Soldier to get a DUI?

Punish them and tell the rest of us about it on Monday as a “hey these are the consequences “

Things like this affirm my decision to go USAR instead of AD.

Appreciate you Chief I was a little mad when I made that. Because that was definitely “higher up” behavior. They create problematic soldiers with this mentality.

BH will be notified and will be documented on my record for mental health care. This is traumatic to me.

Yeah, you make the rest aware so they can be on guard, but you don’t punish them for what they didn’t do

Also the lack of correction among leadership higher up also mess up yet other higher ups seem to overlook their mistakes too often n Jr soldiers see it

Chief, I thought we had gotten mass punishment out of leaders heads when I was in. I remember a class during my Captain's career course where we were told about the downside of doing it.

As an innocent troop, some of the ideas of what not to do that we heard at the ineffective formations never even crossed my mind, got me thinking 🤔 😏👏👎

Times change, and philosophies change with them. I accept that fact. When you ask what value there is in something like this, I’ll tell you a story.
When I was a 1SG, we had a similar situation. I called an alert at 0500 and had every Soldier in the company report. At 0700, I marched 385 Soldiers to the MP station to pick up the Soldiers who had received DUIs.
The lesson began the moment those Soldiers opened the door and saw 385 people they were responsible to. It continued as we marched back to the unit with no cadence—just me calling, “1-2-3-4, left-right-left.”
The entire experience was about collective responsibility. It taught them that we are connected not only in triumph, but also in failure. An individual decision can have consequences for an entire organization.
And you know the result?
No more DUIs.
But the more important result was a unit that understood its responsibility to one another. They understood that being part of a team means your individual choices can affect everyone around you.
That’s the value. Sometimes the lesson isn’t about punishing the individual. It’s about making the entire organization understand that we succeed and sometimes fail, together.
