Reply #61: I'm sure you have the experience to back that up, but I have the *expertise*

I have worked for and currently work with the SJA for one of the Army's divisions. Furthermore, I have been a company commander, a battalion S-3, and an investigating officer on numerous cases of alleged malfeasence.

EO complaints are handled at the lowest level possible. Generals do not want to hear "complaints"...they want to see tangible results. Therefore, if an EO complaint appears to have merit, it is usually handled by the lowest commander (BN or CO) to recommend a course of action, which is usually NJP (non-judicial punishment...aka Article 15). In most cases, EO complaints "die on the vine" and never reach any commanding general's desk.

If you think EO complaints are taken seriously and that EO complaints, in and of themselves, have ruined careers, you are seriously mis-informed.
