I am a CAP TSgt, I just got put in charge of an all female flight. I have not had that much previous leadership experience. Could someone please give me some advice. I am dealing with all females, and I am having trouble with gaining respect! Help!!!

Is their anyone in that group their higher rank then you? If not give them push ups That's what I do if my squad don't listen to me.

you dont earn respect by doing that, they begin to fear you...best way to get respect is to treat them with respect, joke around a little, but never go to first name basis, the first time they call you Julie (not that its ur name, its just an example) you know you have lost all respect, if they f up really bad, explain what they did wrong, and then give them push ups, thats what i did to earn the respect of my squad and i am going to be getting plt sgt at the end of this semester because i have the best squad in the battalion

Plus I asked my master cheif that question that and he said do what
I said befor you posted here.

We aren't allowed to make them do pushups The hardest thing I have come across, is that I am BEST friends with two fo the girls. They can't seem to get that at CAP I am in charge, and we aren't just messing around. I try to explain that out of CAP, we can be on a first name basis, but not in CAP

That's crazy talk!

That's hard. I am an officer of Fredericksburg High School Navy JROTC.
I think you have to listen what people said. Treat them nice and tough something like that. Geez...that's hard to gaining respect.

I know Somebody somewhere decided they were going to threaten to sue CAP because they couldn't do the number of pushups they tried to make them do.......................
