Ok, I'm caught in a moral delemma right now.
First a little background. At my current command there are a total of 3 officers. The OIC is an CDR EDO, a LT EDO and a LDO LT. The whole detachment is about 36 sailors.
Here is my problem. The LDO LT has for the last two PRTs not taken them with the group. He has instead given the prt assistant coordinator scores and told him that he did the prt before everyone got there. The other LT was made aware of this and talked to the OIC about it. According to the EDO LT the OIC said "he's in good shape". Well, to me it's not about what kind of shape this man is in. It goes to the basics of the Navy's core values. He is the PRT coordinator for the command and an Officer in the United States Navy. I'm not really sure what to do at this point. I fear that there could be definate reprisal if I go to the OIC about it but that's really not an option anyways because he already knows about it and chose to do nothing. I'm not sure if sending an e-mail to the CO of the detachment out in CA would be considered jumping the chain of command since the OIC's actions are pretty much illegal anyways (at least as I see it they are, correct me if I'm wrong). The OIC has pretty much stayed away from any attempt at leadership at this command and is more concerned about making sure we keep customers here(R&D command, way different from a normal one).
Any suggestions or other possible avenues that you know about out there? Or am I just way off base here.
