Explanation:

Identify the components of the Informal Resolution System (IRS)

The Navy's Informal Resolution System (IRS) is designed to resolve interpersonal conflicts, harassment, or discrimination at the lowest level possible. The three official options under the IRS are:

1. Direct approach (directly approaching the alleged offender).
2. Informal third-party assistance (requesting assistance from a coworker, supervisor, or mediator).
3. Training/educational presentation (requesting command training or a presentation for the workplace).

Evaluate the options against the IRS definition

• Option A: Submitting a special request chit to request Captain's Mast is a formal administrative/disciplinary procedure, not an informal resolution method.
• Option B: Directly approaching the alleged offender is a standard IRS method.
• Option C: Requesting training for presentation in the workplace is a standard IRS method.
• Option D: Requesting assistance from a third party is a standard IRS method.

Answer:

• A) Submitting a special request chit to request Captain's Mast (Correct answer)
