FROM: 4 XXX/CC
SUBJECT: Letter of Reprimand - Unprofessional Relationships
1. Saturday, April 6, 2003 I witnessed you and TSgt <LNAME> having an unprofessional
relationship. You and TSgt <LNAME> are both married.
2. Air Force Pamphlet (AFPAM) 36-2241, Volume 1, Promotion Fitness Examination (PFE)
study Guide states:
“Professional Relationships. To have an effective operation, the Air Force must have
professional relationships among its members. In all supervisory situations there must be
a true professional relationship supportive of the mission and operational effectiveness of
the Air Force. Officers and NCOs must make sure their personal relationships with
members for whom they exercise a supervisory responsibility, or whose duties or
assignments they are in a position to influence, do not give the appearance of favoritism,
preferential treatment, or impropriety. Excessive socialization and undue familiarity, real
or perceived, degrade leadership.”
3. You are hereby reprimanded. You have engaged in aberrant behavior which will not be
tolerated from a member of the United States Air Force. Your past behavior has raised serious
questions about your ability to remain in the United States Air Force. Military custom and
tradition require a high standard of conduct of all airman particularly noncommissioned officers.
This standard of conduct relates not only to performance of military duties, but the discharge of
your civic responsibilities and your relations with civilian community. The seriousness of this
matter, together with lamentable lack of responsibility, judgment and common sense displayed
on this occasion, compel me to caution you that any recurrence can only jeopardize your career.
You actions have caused me to question your ability to perform as an NCO. I expect you to heed
these remarks and act accordingly in the future.
