If I was recently promoted to the same rank as another individual from my unit (however, he wa promoted before me), am I required to follow his orders?
If so, would my obligation to obey these orders be equivalent to my obligation to follow orders issued by senior officers? Or, is his "jurisdiction" over me limited?
If I am not required to obey his orders, when does his seniority (due to time of promotion) come into play? Will I ever HAVE to sit second-chair to him or follow his orders (if we remain the same rank)?
Also, if at all possible, please include references to official military documents (ie-UCMJ).
I would like to be able to re-state specific articles within these documents the next time I approach this individual on the matter (that way, I can seem as though I know what I am saying -and that I am not simply making it all up).
Thanks!
