Drill Sergeants, Sexual Misconduct, and the Army Values
Abstract
As the Army moves into the 21st century, we as Noncommissioned Officers are charged with being role models for future generations of Soldiers. Our ethics and moral values become the example for leaders of future generations. Drill Sergeants face the difficult task of balancing personal values with those of the Army Values. One subject of concern that is at the forefront of the Army today is the problem with Drill Sergeant sexual misconduct Drill Sergeants at training institutions across the United States. This sexual misconduct demands the attention of leaders at every level. Sexual misconduct is a potentially explosive mixture of supervisor power, sex, as well as unethical behavior, which can breed unethical leaders in the future. Their wrongdoing can not only result in the loss of respect, of their seniors, peers, and subordinates alike, but also the loss of trust and faith. This is a serious issue that should not go unnoticed. Sexual misconduct destroys morale and defies the very standards of ethical behavior outlined in our Army Values.
