Title: Request Guidance
Post by: West MI-CAP-Ret on August 06, 2012, 05:12:12 PM
To begin to file a complaint regarding harassment of senior members due to their permanent disability earned on active duty, would that be covered in CAP's JAGMAN?

As I wait for guidance, I will actually go and try to find the answer myself.

Warmly,
Lablover

CAPR 36-2 is the applicable regulation.

What?  Someone is harassing a vet with a service related disability because of that disability? That is more deserving of a private one-on-one conversation in a dark place than anything else.

When I was an IG 95% of the complaints were really just misunderstandings. If Tom, Dick and Harry sat down together and talk about their problem it will be resolved. Personality issues, favoritism and such is easily worked out.

Ditto.

Guaranteed no one is "harassing" a senior member because of a disability.  I just don't buy it - and no you should not "explain", since doing so
would likely violate the regs regarding the confidentiality of complaints.

This is likely either a personality conflict unrelated to the disability, or a "failure to accommodate", which is not the same thing as harassment.

Communications skills and problem solving abilities are relics from the past.

Your neighbor's dog is barking, call the cops. Squadron member said something you don't like, call the IG.

There are processes and safeguards in place for the real deal, but how often does that actually occur?
