Talk:Customs and Courtesies

I have a few problems with the comments here. "However, junior officers should generally listen to suggestions from senior NCOs, and NCOs should decide when it's proper to break the law and ignore their officers."
 * NCOs will NEVER be deciding to break the law if given a lawful order by a superior officer. I put emphasis on a lawful order, for if it is not then you are not breaking the law.

"The LT can give orders to the Platoon Sergeant and the Staff Sergeant, but not the First Sergeant."
 * The LT can give orders to the first sergeant, and he must follow them if they are lawful. Lawful orders given by an officer to an enlisted man still must be complied with.  However, it is not normally done and is considered 'bad form'.

If there are any problems with this, let me know.
