- A.
Master-at-arms
- B.
Officer
- C.
Petty officer
- D.
Chief petty officer
Correct Answer
C. Petty officerExplanation
In this scenario, the petty officer is responsible for correcting the violator. As an enlisted person, the petty officer holds authority over the violator and is expected to ensure that regulations are followed. The officer, although present, may not have direct responsibility for correcting the violator as their role may be more focused on overseeing the situation. The master-at-arms and chief petty officer may also have authority, but the question specifically asks for the responsible party, which is the petty officer.Rate this question:

Except for a major offense, a person should be put on report only as a last resort.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Putting a person on report should only be done as a last resort, except for a major offense. This means that reporting someone should be the final course of action, and it should only be used for serious offenses. In other words, reporting should not be the first option or used for minor infractions. This approach ensures that the consequences of reporting are reserved for situations where they are truly necessary, promoting fairness and proportionality in dealing with disciplinary matters.Rate this question:
