 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pancall. The Navy wants you to know what retaliation is and how you can prevent and report it. Retaliation is a harmful action against someone for something they did or said and is a violation of the UCMJ. Professional retaliation against a sailor could be the loss of privileges, denied promotion or training, or being transferred to a less favorable job. Social retaliation is the exclusion of someone from social acceptance or denying the privilege of friendship because someone reported or intends to report a crime. From recruits to the most senior officers, it's your job to report retaliation when it occurs. You can contact your chain of command to report an instance of retaliation or call the Inspector General's hotline at 1-800-522-3451. You can find out more specific information on the Inspector General's website.
