“The DANGEROUS thing to do is to comply with an off-policy or out-tech order.

“But how would one, who has not studied policy or is not very far advanced in his tech training know when he was being given an off-policy or out-tech order?

If it seems kind of stupid it is probably off-policy or out-tech. Both tech and policy are anything but stupid. Most off-policy and out-tech orders are stupid because they are at a glance contrasurvival.

Require that one be shown in the exact issue or book what the policy or tech actually is.

Read it for yourself and don’t listen to any interpretation that seems farfetched.

Be sure the policy or tech you are being shown applies in the matter under discussion.

Ignore anyone who, with no written material or tape, chants at you the dates of policies or bulletins and claims they exist. See it for yourself.

"If you see something going on in the org or incorrect that you don't like and yet do not wish to turn in an ethics chit, or indeed don't know who to report, WRITE A DESPATCH TO THE INSPECTIONS OFFICER.

"Tell him what you have noticed and give him what data you can.

"The Inspections Officer will then investigate it and make a report to the right executives or turn in an ethics chit on the offending persons himself.

"Don't just natter if there's something you don't like.

"Tell the Inspections Office.  Then something can be done about it."

Technical terminals cannot be given Courts or Comm Evs or discipline for not following Board Technical Bulletins, local technical issues or verbal tech or Board Policy Letters.
