Ahhhh...there's some old school Navy thinking:  When in doubt, insult the other person.  BZ!

This is dangerously bad advice - I assume it was posted in jest?  From para 2.2 of the  Canadian Forces Grievance Manual: "The right to grieve does not preclude a verbal request for resolution directly to the Commanding Officer (CO) prior to submitting a grievance."  In fact one of the...
