MEMORANDUM FOR MADE A MISTAKE, AMN,
FR123-45-6789
FROM: 4 XXX/CC
SUBJECT: Letter of Reprimand - Chain of Command
1.
Saturday, April 6, 2003 you failed to follow
your chain of command. You discussed issues
with the Wing Commander with out addressing them with your immediate supervisor,
MSgt
Dilbert.
2. You are hereby reprimanded. You have engaged in aberrant behavior which will
not be
tolerated from a member of the United States Air Force. Your past behavior has
raised serious
questions about your ability to remain in the United States Air Force. The chain
of command
provides the control and communications necessary to accomplish the mission.
Each level in the
chain is responsible for a lower level and accountable to all higher levels. The
chain cannot work
without loyalty to every level. With loyalty up and down the chain, it is a
highly efficient and
effective system for getting things done. The key principle is to resolve
problems and seek
answers at the lowest possible level.
3. All services of the United States military are arranged organizationally to
follow this single
chain of command concept. This concept provides a clear structure for orders to
flow from the
highest levels of the military to the most junior ranking soldier, sailor,
airman, and marine. Just
as important, this same concept allows information, ideas, and complaints to
flow upwards from
the most junior person to the highest levels.
4. The chain of command is the mechanism by which the 716th Communication Flight
conduct
day-to-day business and by which we will fight and win in combat. I firmly
believe in the chain
of command as an instrument for commanding and controlling as well as problem
solving in the
unit. You are responsible for knowing your chain of command.
