Message: [QUOTE="MSGRET, post: 3902307, member: 8506"] In the late 70's while stationed in Germany the Group XO, a Major had harassed one of my female enlisted soldiers. I confronted him on this and he stated that he's the XO and I'm a Sargent and it was none of my business. When I told my wife letting out my frustration on the issue she just tried to calm me down so I wouldn't get in trouble, I had a previous confrontation with the same XO. Two days later I was called into the Group Commander's office, he asked me if what the incident was true, I stated that it was. He then asked how the female soldier was I said that she was shaken up about the incident, but doing okay. I inquired on how he found out and he stated that his wife heard about it and had addressed the issue with him when he got home from work the day before. There was a quick investigation by the command and the Major got a scathing reprimand put into his official file by the Commander. I found out later that my wife had a scheduled outing with the Commander's wife the morning after the incident and had informed her of what I had stated the night before. My wife, who is German was acting as the translator for the planing of the Group Christmas party at one of the local fest halls. When I asked her about it she stated that Caroline had told her that if she ever had a problem adapting to the Military or the American lifestyle that she would be happy to help her. She asked her if it was proper for a Officer to ask inappropriate questions to a female private, Caroline had told her no and it went from there. I found out later down the road that the Major was passed over twice for LTC and had to retire at 20 years, I hope that the letter and his attitude towards women in the military had something to do with his getting a forced retirement.
