How to handle disrespectful cadets

[red_sox_fan]

My cousin is also a cadet in CAP. So when i was promoted to Airmen first class he was still a Airmen basic. Well we went to a parade and he was being a idiot and being embarrasing to the unit. I confronted him he told me that he doesn't have to listen to me because i don't have much rank over him. So the question is, what should i reply back? Then what should i do? Report it up in the chain of command or ignore it? Or was he correct and i was wrong?

You don't do anything. Your Cadet Staff should be managing it. If you are on the staff, then you take it up your chain of command.

Nothing funnier then a bunch of airman (AB-A1C) arguing about who outranks who.

First.....and formorest.......use your chain of command...that is how you handle it.  Your Amn friend is not recognising your A1C authrotity.....go find a SrA or SSgt and have him help you out.

You should leave it to your senior leadership to handle.

I was told to go tell him to stop by the Cadet in charge.

Thank you now that makes sense.

The Cadet in Charge should have been doing that, not passing the buck down to another cadet who hasn't even reached an NCO level yet.

There are other options besides the extremes.

You respectfully indicate that you are not comfortable directing a member of your family, or, upon attempting to remediate the
situation anyway, to no avail, you tell the Cadet In Charge that the other cadet in question is not respecting your grade
and that his direct intervention is necessary.

I see now. Its not like its hard for me to confront him but it hard to say that you need to respect my grade to him because it will make me sound like i'm being a dictator just because i have one rank over him.

Confidence in your leadership abilities will come with more experience.  Until then, disengage and leave it to the staff to handle.

Though I am fond of you for knowing what a baseball team is, I would like to counsel you and recommend that you read more and post less......

 Always use the Chain of Command.

How can you expect a Cadet Airman to show respect to you, a Cadet Senior Airman, when you are so disrespectful toward others much higher in grade than yourself?
