Where do I start?Though not required, commanders and supervisors should be your first stop when you have a complaint. Complaints resolution is an inherent part of a commander’s or supervisor's responsibility. However, if they can’t help, or if they are at the root of the complaint, contact the IG.  If you are unsure about what to do, give me a call and we can discuss your options. As an Air Force member, you have a right to: File an IG complaint at any level without going through your supervisory channel Address your complaint to any IG... though it may be transferred to the nearest IG File a complaint with an IG without fear of reprisal Request withdrawal of your IG complaint in writing…IG may still examine the issues and treat as a third-party Request the next higher-level IG review your complaint within 90 days of receiving the IG response Submit complaints anonymously Submit a complaint on behalf of another individual Request whistle blower protection under 10 U.S.C. 1034 How do I file a complaint? Complete an AF Form 102 and submit it to an IG OR Call an IG Hotline at any level: Holm Center: DSN 493-8825, Comm: 1-800-522-0033, Option 2 AU: DSN 493-7752 AETC: DSN 487-4460 SAF: Comm 1-800-538-8429 DoD: Comm 1-800-424-9098 Email your questions and comments to airforceofficerpodcast@gmail.com.
