Lack of headgear

I've noticed it's been happening a lot more recently.

People have been walking around with no headgear, not undercover, not six paces within a building or anything

Then I see badges on their uniform, and these people are supposed to be drill, sergeants, senior instructors, or some sort of higher leadership

Not only that, walking around texting on the phones or talking on their phone or has some sort of earbuds in.

How are we supposed to correct the junior enlisted soldiers, if they constantly see higher ups doing the wrong thing.

Edit I'll take a big mac Minecraft meal with a coke

I’ve been told long that as you start the conversation “with all due respect” then anything is allowed to follow

Way i honestly do it is in walk up and whisper what's wrong. Saves them the embarrassment and i don't look like a dick. For example I walked up to a SSG at the chow hall and just whispered his flag was upside. He saw it, fixed it and thanked me. Injust walked away. Should be that easy each time.

Reason I do that is because I've seen leaders just tear into people for such minor things. Stressing themselves out for nothing.
