I want to take the time to establish my philosophy on expectations of this S1 shop while I’m the Noncommissioned Officer In Charge (NCOIC). This philosophy establishes an effective and comfortable work environment not only for the Soldiers assigned to work in the S1, but also the Soldiers of which we serve—our customers. My philosophy consists of the following:
a. Trust: We must trust in our chain of command. I must earn your trust by being as transparent as possible and by handling all situations at the lowest appropriate level. You must earn my trust by using your chain of command and allow me the opportunity to handle all situations at my level; only seeking higher authority if necessary.
b. Communication: Communication is a two-way street.
