Disobeying Orders
When we were younger we were always told by our parents to behave and follow the rules in school and to be nice to the other children. At school they had a set of rules that we were meant to follow and abide by them. Here in the Marine Corps is no different there are many rules and regulations that are meant to be followed under the UCMJ Articles. It’s important to keep following the orders you are given and that you follow these rules exactly like you are ordered to do so. In this essay I will be talking about the following: Disobeying an Order, Disrespect, Discipline, Chain of Command, Unauthorized Absence, and Leadership Principles and Leadership Traits. I will try my best’s efforts to explain everything and show what I have learned in this process. In the next set of paragraphs I will be discussing of three Articles from the UCMJ. The first article is Article 90: Assaulting or Willfully Disobeying Superior Commissioned Officer; the second article is Article 91: Insubordinate Conduct toward Warrant Officer, Noncommissioned or Petty Officer; and the third article is Article is 92: Failure to Obey an Order or Regulation. These articles should always be followed or they could bring serious consequences to anybody who decides to disobey an order like myself. In the next paragraph I’ll be talking about Article 90 and what it all means.
