TBS-LDR-1008 Without the aid of references, describe problem
resolution methods without omitting key components correct answer: Whenever possible, conflicts that arise should be resolved at the lowest possible level. The Informal System is designed to address behaviors which are inappropriate but do not constitute an offense under the UCMJ. The recipient is encouraged to confront the offender directly in person, in writing, or through an informal third party. The third party can be the supervisor, a co- worker, or someone outside of the workplace. The offender should be informed that the behavior is
offensive or unwelcome and should be stopped. Methods:
Direct. In person, by approaching the alleged offender(s) involved. Stay focused on the behavior and its impact. Use common courtesy and ensure the approach is not disrespectful. Consider writing down thoughts prior to approaching the alleged
offender(s) involved. Informal Third Party. Request assistance from another person, normally a friend, coworker, or the EOA. Ask another person; to
talk with alleged offender(s) involved, to accompany while utilizing the direct approach, or to intervene to help resolve the conflict. This may include a person in the chain of command, EOA, or other appropriate individual. Training Information Resources (TIR). Request training or resource materials for presentation to the work place of prohibited activities and conduct. TIR includes videos, books, lesson plans, posters, etc. Request TIR from the EOA/MEO Office Chain of Command The chain of command is the primary and preferred channel for correcting discriminatory practices and for communicating EO matters. The chain of command is the succession of commanding officers from a superior to a subordinate through which command is exercised.
Individuals who believe they have been subjected to discrimination or inappropriate behavior should report the incident to the chain of command if they believe they are unable to resolve the problem by themselves or the incident is criminal in nature. Anyone who witnesses an act of discrimination has a responsibility to address, correct or report the inappropriate behavior immediately. Request Mast or pursue a complaint under Article 138 of the Uniform code of Military Justice (UCMJ) Request mast is the primary way for a Marine to formally seek assistance from, or communicate a grievance to, his or her commander. Although a Marine's request mast may not be resolved to his or her satisfaction, the Marine shall be afforded the opportunity to address the issue with the commander. Request mast is not intended to be used for the purpose of harassment where the request mast has no merit or systemic issue able to be resolved by the commander or commanders, avoiding assigned duties, or intentionally interfering with the commander's ability to carry out the functions and mission of the command. Furthermore, request mast should not replace established staff functions or supplant discourse with the chain of command.
TBS-VALU-1004 Given the requirement, describe the Marine Corps policy on alcohol abuse, in accordance with MCO 5300.17 correct answer: Alcohol abuse is any use of alcohol that adversely affects individual performance, debilitates physical and mental health, interferes with financial responsibility, personal relationships, leads to the violation of civilian or military laws, or contributes to disorderly conduct. Alcoholism is a medically-recognized disease manifested by the continued abusive use of alcohol and characterized by the development of psychological and/or physical dependency.
In accordance with Public Law 92-129, Title V, section 501(a), the Marine Corps is required to implement procedures "to identify, treat, and rehabilitate" members and to deny service entry to any alcohol dependent individuals. Our overall objective is to eliminate alcohol abuse throughout the Marine Corps. This requires total leadership from officers, SNCOs, and NCOs. All leaders must be alert to the characteristics of alcohol abuse and fully familiar with the associated symptoms. The end goal is to influence positive behavioral changes before disciplinary or adverse administrative action is necessary. This may be accomplished through changing attitudes of Marines toward alcohol use. All leaders should set the example by demonstrating responsible consumption or even abstinence.
