Good point, it certainly depends on the unit. Since I left "the line" for my current assignment (AC/RC, non-deployable) I have noticed a rash of issues. Certainly far more than when I was in a Fires BN, serving with people you have to combat with. Most the unit's problems are with senior NCOs and some officers. Any unit consisting of all E-7s and above is bound to have some issues. Pulling the IG, EO, Congressional and CO Open Door cards aren't common, but much more prevalent here, it seems. Frankly, I was amazed by the lack of hesistation by some to threaten it. On occasion, they would go through with it, usually with no results. If a Soldier, particularly a leader, abuses the system and threatens it constantly, you just have to call their bluff. Then you'll have the satisfaction when nothing happens and they look like fools.
