Mate I had a similar problem when I left the paras here in the UK, some remf tried delaying my demob due to missing equipment. Despite the fact said equipment was noted as having being damaged/left non oprative in an extended close quarters engagement.

He dug his heals in and insisted it had to be turned in. Fat chance fuck knuckle as it's on a hillside in Stan!

Despite a warrant officer confirming to him I was given new issues on post and me having handed back said new issue items he still dug heels in.

Trip to see commanding officer with said WO and within a day fuck knuckle was getting utterly ass fucked by CoC up and down like some cheap rent boy.

If you can use an open door policy, go for it and napalm these cocksuckers holding you back !
