You folks should have never permitted your 1SG (that used to be the correct abbreviation for a First Sergeant in my days) to drag his Alpha. That equates to a total collapse of the NCO system that the US Army and her Officers and Enlisted depend on. By permitting Top to coast into retirement while on active duty (assuming that's what you're saying) literally translates to the 'lower ranks' that the other NCOs are not only aware of the situation, but worse, condone said.
In my days, Top was out and about kickin' Alphas and foremost, our mentor.
Lastly, if your SGM or CSM was at all physically present, he would have noticed your 1SG's inactivity and/or inaction. I won't pretend to comprehend why and E-9 would watch and permit a 1SG loaf in a war zone.
