SUMMARY This  chapter  has  covered  the  Navy’s  view  of discipline as a method of training that corrects, molds, strengthens, or perfects mental faculties and character. The general authority and organizational authority of a petty officer was explained as well as what a lawful order means. You have seen how unique the Navy is in giving  you  added  responsibility  and  letting  you develop  to  the  fullest.  You  know  how  to  report  a violation properly by using the report chit. You have seen  the  processing  of  a  chit  through  the  chain  of command, and you are aware of the importance of the rights of the accused. You  should  understand  that  along  with  your responsibility  you  need  to  use  good  judgment  when reporting major offenses. Some ideas were presented on how to correct minor violations through counseling, extended  working  hours,  or  the  temporary  loss  of special privileges. No matter what your position, as a petty officer, you are a disciplinarian for the Navy. You will use at one time or another every form of discipline to get the job done. How you fare will depend on your approach. As a petty officer, you have the responsibility to help maintain good order and discipline within the Navy. When you place a person on report, you are stating that all other methods to maintain good order and discipline have failed. That means the only action left is for the command  to  take  appropriate  disciplinary  action against the person who has violated the UCMJ. Do not treat serious charges and grievances lightly. Seek the advice of someone in authority. As a petty officer, you not only will be watched by your superiors but also by your subordinates and peers. The  time  you  take  at  the  barbershop/beauty  shop getting a neat haircut will not only keep you looking sharp in the eyes of the civilian community and your shipmates but will give you pride in yourself. The sea bag  of  clothing  issued  to  you  at  enlistment  is  to  be maintained and updated with the appropriate uniforms throughout your Navy career. Take pride in your crow (slang for PO rating badge). Make sure it is sewn on properly. Your appearance in uniform reflects the pride you have in the Navy and your self-respect. Wear your uniform with pride and dignity; you’ll not go wrong.
