WORK-RELATED PROBLEMS Work-related problems are situations that affect a person’s job performance. A work-related problem might be a situation in which a person feels mistreated by a senior. It could also be a situation in which a person needs leave or liberty because of an illness in the family. The chain of command is responsible to each Navy member for solving work-related problems. When a person’s immediate senior is unable to resolve a problem, the next senior in the chain of command tries to solve the problem. If the senior at that level of command is unable to resolve the problem, it then goes to the next level in the chain of command. The problem continues to be referred to each level in the chain of command until it is resolved. You must always use the chain  of  command  when  seeking  solutions  to work-related problems. TYPICAL CHAIN OF COMMAND Figure 6-8 shows a typical shipboard, straight-line chain of command from the nonrated level to the commanding officer. An aircraft squadron’s chain of command includes a branch officer. For  watch-standing  assignments,  the  chain  of command  includes  a  section  leader  (not  shown).  The section leader may be from your division but often is a petty officer from another division. The section leader makes watch assignments for all personnel assigned to the section. Inform the section leader of situations, such as leave or special liberty, that affect your availability for watch assignments. In  most  cases,  the  chain  of  command  shown  in figure 6-8 is complete. However, the chain of command does not stop with the commanding officer. Remember, all  people  in  the  military  are  responsible  to  their seniors! The  chain  of  command  extends  from  nonrated personnel  all  the  way  to  the  President  of  the  United States.  Figure  6-8  shows  the  shipboard  chain  of command from the nonrated person to the commanding officer. Figure 6-9 shows a typical chain of command from the President to the commanding officer of a ship. To learn your chain of command, ask someone in the administrative  (Admin)  office  to  show  you  the command’s organizational chart. 6-15 Student Notes: Figure 6-8.—Typical shipboard chain of command. Figure 6-9.—Typical chain of command from the CO of a ship to the President.
