Request Mast Form

As a First Sergeant and Sergeant Major I’ve worked literally dozens of request masts. Trust me the procedure is sound and there is no serious threat of repercussion.First of all you have a right to request mast with any commissioned officer in your chain of command with NJP authority. So first decide WHO you want to request mast with; Company Commander, Battalion Commander, Regimental Commander, Division Commanding General. Delay in your request mast, under normal conditions, should be no more than 1 day per level. By that I mean if you request mast to your Battalion Commander, you should be in front of him/her in 48 hours. There are serious consequences for leaders who attempt to delay your request mast request.You begin your request mast with your First Sergeant. You absolutely do NOT have to tell him/her why you are requesting mast. In fact, you have no need to tell anyone except the Commander that you’re requesting mast to. As a First Sergeant I had a corporal request mast to the Company Commander because of me. He was upset that I insisted that Marines maintain grooming regulations at all times which, after repeated warnings, culminated in marching those Marines who needed haircuts to the base barbershop late on a Friday afternoon to have their ears lowered within Marine Corps standards. The following Monday he brought his request mast to me, and I processed it like all others. I informed him that he did not have to tell me the subject of his request mast but if he decided to then perhaps I could fix his issue. He told me his problem was with me sending about a squad of Marines to get haircuts on a Friday afternoon, to which I informed him I could not help him with his situation and forwarded his request mast to the Company Commander. That is the Marine’s right and I had no hesitancy in doing so.If you are at that point where you feel that your issue is not being resolved by your leadership, fill out a NAVMC form 11296 and take it to your First Sergeant. You can seal it in an envelope if you so desire. He/she will do something similar to what I mentioned above, and you will get to talk directly to the Commander of your choosing within a reasonable amount of time.Again, there are serious consequences for leaders who attempt any form of reprisal, so don’t stress over requesting mast. It is your right. Many times junior Marines will tell you something different, but take it straight from the horses mouth, request mast is a routine administrative matter that often results in a positive outcome for the Marine with the grievance. Sometimes it does not result in what the requestor would consider the desired outcome, but he/she had the opportunity to address the grievance face-to-face with the Commanding Officer and, desired outcome or not, there will be no reprisal. In fact, the requestor has to indicate his/her level of satisfaction on the NAVMC 11296 and the form has to be forwarded to the next commander in the chain of command for review. In other words, his Commander’s Commander reviews how the request mast was handled and this happens normally within 24 hours. All request masts that were conducted are also reviewed periodically by the Inspector General who heads the Commanding General’s Inspection Program (CGIP) every two years (if memory serves me correctly). By the way, the Inspector General (head of the CGIP) accepts request masts requests during the week of inspection of any given unit. If you’re really interested, let me know and I can tell you about how request masts benefited a number of Marines or others who did not get their desired outcome.

I was one of those people. I come from a military family, my father was a soldier; both my brothers were soldiers, one a Colonel in the US Army. But when we were young we decided to join Civil Air Patrol, essentially Boy Scouts for military wannabes. I was 16 at the time. The Air Force sent in real Airmen drill sergeants who taught us how to be a soldier in slow-motion without the haircuts, guns and sturm and drang of real boot camp. There was lots of drilling, lots of counter-marching and we had blue uniforms. They taught military structure and respect for authority and so on. There was a competitive structure for moving upwards in rank to CAP Colonel which was worth a real stripe if you actually enlisted in the Air Force. My younger brother who was 15 at the time was very military minded and totally "strack" as they say in the Army. His uniform was always perfect. He accomplished all the goals. He made it to CAP Colonel, but eventually he joined the Army and not the Air Force. I, on the other hand, thought the entire thing was a joke. When they had us line up and started screaming orders at us to get us to shape up and march around I just laughed. The countermarching reminded me of Square Dancing and so did all the "Hurp Harp Hurp" commands and Do Si Dos. As with most military drill instrutctors intimidation is key to beating soldiers into shape.  But I saw through the charade, the worst nightmare of these people. They don't want people who see it as the joke that it is -- they want people who are afraid, who want to bend, who will bend and who won't challenge their authority. Finally, one day, while in formation, the Drill Sergeant, who was US Air Force true blue, pulled me out of line in front of everyone else (all kids from 14 to 18 years of age) and in his deep Southern accent said, "Son, the military just isn't for you. Why don't you run along home now and play." It was the biggest insult he could muster. For the first time since joiing up I actually felt shame and embarrassment. The rest of the squad was standing at Parade Rest in their immaculate blue uniforms, looking at me like I was a curious dead insect. I had just gotten a "Dishonorable Discharge".  I snuck off for home and never mentioned CAP again.

I second Richard's answer, and since you are in the Marine Corps I am sure you will already know that there is a culture of silence, "you keep it with in the family" concept.  I do not think the "get them into trouble" attitude is appropriate.  I suggest that if you are uncomfortable with any individuals chosen language (and I assure you to ensure they are being racist and not just something you imagined) to first inform the offending individual that what they said is offensive to you.  You may be surprised at how often it is unintentional or unrealized.  It might just stop there.  Secondly I will suggest speaking to your chain of command to see if there is something that can be done or accommodated. Finally if you still cannot resolve your problem you can request mast.  This is a process in which you can speak to your commanding officer (or the superior commanding officer if the immediate commanding officer is involved) and they will be required to give a response.  This process requires paperwork and a form to be filled out.  This is a rather serious matter and I highly suggest you think about other means of resolution first.  (You can find more information about requesting mast here : http://www.hqmc.marines.mil/igmc...)You really you may want to reconsider how you state your question; getting someone into trouble on purpose does not seem to properly represent the Marine Corps spirit. You should already know the Marine Corps is not the most tactful branchs.

As asked of me specifically;The others are right, you will likely need a lawyer. But to answer your question, there is a response form to respond to a restraining order or order of protection. Worst case the form is available at the courthouse where your hearing is set to be heard in, typically at the appropriate clerk's window, which may vary, so ask any of the clerk's when you get there.You only have so many days to respond, and it will specify in the paperwork.You will also have to appear in court on the date your hearing is scheduled.Most courts have a department that will help you respond to forms at no cost. I figure you are asking because you can't afford an attorney which is completely understandable.The problem is that if you aren't represented and the other person is successful in getting a temporary restraining order made permanent in the hearing you will not be allowed at any of the places the petitioner goes, without risking arrest.I hope this helps.Not given as legal advice-

It’s great that you asked. The answer is NO. Also, whatever you are doing with this person, STOP!Bloody hell, how many of these “I need your money to see you sweetheart” scammers are there? It’s probably that or someone totally misunderstood something.All military paperwork is free! However, whether their commander or other sort of boss will let them return or not depends on the nature of duty, deployment terms, and other conditions. They can’t just leave on a whim, that would be desertion and it’s (sorry I don’t know how it works in America) probably punishable by firing (as in termination of job) or FIRING (as in execution)!!!Soldiers are generally paid enough to fly commercial back to home country.Do not give these people any money or any contact information! If you pay him, you’ll probably get a receipt from Nigeria and nothing else.

You indicate this is a Delaware C Corp so check corporation and you will file Form 1120.Check that you are starting a new corporation.Date business started is the date you actually started the business.  Typically you would look on the paperwork from Delaware and put the date of incorporation.December is the standard closing month for most corporations. Unless you have a signNow business reason to pick a different month use Dec.If you plan to pay yourself wages put one.  If you don't know put zero.Unless you are fairly sure you will owe payroll taxes the first year check that you will not have payroll or check that your liability will be less than $1,000. Anything else and the IRS will expect you to file quarterly payroll tax returns.Indicate the type of SaaS services you will offer.

REQUEST MAST. Marine Corps Order 1700.23F defines request mast, which is a process that preserves the right of every Marine to directly seek assistance from, or communicate grievances to, their commanding officers.

Generally, a military member can speak to the Commanding Officer about any subject; however, the member can not use request mast for the following reasons: ... Request Mast may not be used to harass, avoid duty, or intentionally interfere with the commander's ability to carry out the functions and mission of the command.

How do I submit a Request Mast application? Complete the Request Mast Application form (NAMC 11296 Rev 5-19) and submit it through the chain of command to the Commanding Officer. Ask your legal office for assistance in obtaining a copy of the form.

It is also referred to as Captain's or Admiral's Mast depending upon the rank of the individual leading the proceeding. Authority to impose non-judicial punishment is granted under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (CMJ) and is used by all the services.

Request Mast is the principal means for a Marine to formally seek assistance from, or communicate a grievance to his or her commander.
