INITIAL NCOER COUNSELING
1. The purpose of this document is to record the initial counseling
of the platoon leaders within UNIT. This initial counseling was
conducted on ________, between _________ and ______________.
2. Your principal duties: XXXXXXXXX. Responsible
for all personnel assigned in the areas of training, safety, soldier/family
welfare, as well as personal and professional development.
3. Your appointed duties include: XXXXXXXXX.
4. PROFESSIONALISM. In addition to your principal
duties, the most important responsibility you have as a leader is
to set a proper professional example. Especially important are the
ethical values of loyalty, duty, selflessness, and integrity. Failure
to meet standards in these areas indicates a basic flaw in your
character and may precipitate a relief for cause.
a. Selflessness. You must place the goals
and missions of the unit above your personal goals. You must be
dedicated to their accomplishment in spite of their impact on your
personal welfare or comfort.
b. Pride/Team. You must show pride in what
you, your squad, platoon, company, and battalion do. Once committed
to executing a mission, you must give 100% and maintain a positive
attitude. Always remember that your squad or platoon is part of
a team and that what you may have to do may not always be best for
your squad or platoon, but someone thinks it is best for the team.
When you get to choose what you will do, think about what would
be good for the unit.
c. Orders. Execute your orders as completely
and rapidly as possible. Obey the spirit of the order, not just
the letter of it. Execute implied tasks just as faithfully as specified
tasks; you will be held responsible for both.
d. Missions. I assume all missions given
to you will be accomplished. If your mission is in danger of failing,
tell me ASAP so we can adjust our plans.
e. Honesty. Be absolutely honest in your
communications with me and with your subordinates. Cheating during
training or falsifying documents will never be condoned.
f. Conduct. Be a good example of the American
Soldier both on and off duty. Drink prudently and do not abuse alcohol;
under no circumstances should you drink and drive. Stay in control
of your finances and don't overextend yourself.
g. Take Responsibility. Do the harder right,
not the easier wrong. It does not matter what everyone else did,
or didn't do, you will be held responsible for the decisions you
make. Be willing to stand-alone for what you know is right against
your peers, your subordinates, or me.
5. PERFORMANCE. The principal duties as discussed
in paragraph 3 above are performance oriented. It is expected that
you will perform all of your duties to meet and exceed the Army
and unit standards. Don't wait to be told to do something you know
needs to be done. Take initiative and don't be afraid to make a
mistake. I anticipate that you will fail to meet standards from
time to time, and this will result in an opportunity for retraining.
However, a pattern of substandard performance after opportunities
to retrain indicates either an inability or unwillingness to meet
the standard. If the standard is sound, an inability or unwillingness
to meet it may be cause for relief.
a. Competence is the key to accomplishing
your duties. Do all you can to develop yourself into a great NCO
and soldier.
b. Physical fitness and military bearing
will go a long way toward communicating that you are a competent
professional. Always stay fit and be sharp.
(1) You will pass the APFT at least twice a year. The goal for squad
leaders and platoon sergeants is 270 or above. You will also meet
the proper height-weight standards.
(2) Always present yourself as well groomed and always meet Army
haircut standards. You will shave first thing every morning to include
in the field. You will wear all of your uniforms properly and maintain
a sharp appearance.
(3) Display mental and physical stamina. Never give up. The standard
is you will try and try again, then seek help. The goal is that
you will always attempt to complete the mission unless told to stop.
(4) You will act energetically and will communicate clearly and
with confidence. Never complain or criticize other officers/NCO's
in front of soldiers.
c. Leadership is what the Army pays you for.
To lead, you must know where you are going. Therefore, define your
objective, then get your squad or platoon there.
(1) Always put the mission first. If you or your squad or platoon
stop trying, you have failed. The goal is 100% mission accomplishment,
IAW published standards, without unnecessary energy or resources
expended. Also instill in your subordinates the desire to achieve
and accomplish the mission.
(2) Lead from the front. You will try the hardest, work the longest,
get the dirtiest, be the coldest, and LEAD your soldiers.
(3) Take care of your soldiers. Be more concerned for their welfare
than your own and ensure they know it. Take care of your soldiers'
families. The Army is a lifestyle, and not just a job, know how
to influence lives.
(4) In discipline, be strict but fair and remain consistent. If
you bring a soldier to me, expect fair but strict punishment.
(5) Give clear guidance (task, conditions, and standards) to your
subordinates so they can accomplish their mission. Avoid "yesterday
management."
(6) The Commanders, 1SG's and XO's orders are mine - comply with
them. Utilize their knowledge and experience to your advantage.
(7) Be a leader not a hero. A leader makes hard, unpopular decisions,
while a hero decides on what the population wants. Soldiers like
their heroes, but they respect their leaders.
(8) By virtue of your position you are owed the respect of your
subordinates; despite this, you will make every effort to earn their
respect. Don't make them earn your trust, give it to them and make
them prove themselves unworthy. Most soldiers will appreciate this
trust and will fight to keep it. Don't make a superior fight to
earn your respect. It is owed to him or her and he or she should
have to prove to be unworthy of it.
d. Training is our #1 priority. You will
use your abilities and resources to train your squad or platoon.
Always remain ready to fight anywhere, anytime. Never waste an opportunity
to assess the performance of tasks in training.
(1) Understand training management as outlined in FM 25-101 and
make it work when you train. Maintain a current squad or platoon
collective task assessment.
(2) Conduct tough and realistic training. It is your responsibility
to ensure all your squad's or platoon's training is well planned
and thoroughly resourced. Training time is precious. Every time
you train, it will be oriented on METL supporting tasks and Battle
drills we determine to be most important.
(3) Train your soldiers on the things that will make them successful.
If they do not qualify with their weapon and pass PT tests, you
as their trainer will be held responsible for getting them there.
e. Responsibilities. For you to be a useful
and dependable squad leader or platoon sergeant, you must be held
responsible for all of your duties, your soldiers and their actions,
your equipment, and any other Army facilities you have influence
over. You must hold your subordinates accountable in the same way.
(1) Take care of the equipment and facilities you are responsible
for. Keep them clean and serviceable. Get them fixed when they break.
Do not lose things. When you recognize someone has mistreated, broken,
or lost something, be the bad guy and hold him or her responsible
for it.
(2) Conserve our limited training resources. Do not waste supplies.
f. Safety. Ensure that safety is foremost
in your and your subordinates' minds. Preach it often, but don't
become paralyzed by the fear of an accident. You live in a hazardous
environment and must know how to safely operate in it. In whatever
you do, conduct a thorough risk assessment and devise specific risk
reduction measures to prevent accidents. The goal is that your subordinates
do this on their own. The standard is that no soldiers lose life,
limb, eyesight, or have irreversible damage done to them that you
could have prevented.
g. Remember that you are accountable to both
me and to your senior rater. Both of us should know what you and
your squad or platoon are up to at all times. Hold your subordinates
responsible to stay in touch one up and one down at all times. Check
in with me prior to PT and before you and your squad or platoon
leave for the day.
6. I have attempted to be specific, but there
are still many facets we have not yet discussed. Communicate with
me regularly, so that we both know where you stand overall. We will
assess and discuss your performance during monthly and quarterly
counselings.

APFT FAILURE COUNSELING
On ____________, you failed the semi-annual Physical Fitness Test.
IAW AR 350-15, Chapter 1, you are required to take and pass the
APFT twice each year. You are being counseled so you may clearly
understand the serious actions which may be initiated against you
for failing to achieve a passing score on each of the three APFT
events.
_______________Effective immediately you
are considered a PT failure. You are informed that Report for Suspension
of Favorable Personnel Actions has been completed. Your personnel
records are now flagged and you are ineligible for promotion and
reenlistment. Your records will continue to be flagged until you
pass the APFT. All PT failures will be given a "FOR THE RECORD"
test every 90 days until successfully completed. Your records will
be flagged until you pass the APFT. In addition to attending regularly
scheduled PT formations, you will attend REMEDIAL formations at
____________________. Continued unsatisfactory conduct/performance
cannot and will not be allowed to continue. Should you continue
to regularly fail the APFT without any medical justification, you
could be processed for elimination from the service under Chapter
13 of AR 635-200. If conduct worsens, you could be discharged for
misconduct under Chapter 14, AR 635-200, resulting in an other than
honorable discharge. If separated for your duty performance, the
least favorable character of discharge you could receive is a general
discharge. If separated for misconduct, you could receive an under
other than honorable conditions discharge. Both may cause undue
hardships in civilian life and may reflect on your eligibility for
veteran's benefits, eligibility for reentry into the Armed Forces,
and acceptability for employment in the civilian community.
TOP
BAR TO REENLISTMENT
On ________________, a Bar to Reenlistment was initiated in accordance
with AR 601-280, Chapter 6, for _________________.
On ______________, under the provisions of
AR 601-280, paragraph 6-5e, I am informing you that you have 7 days
from this date to summit an appeal to the Bar to Reenlistment. Your
appeal, if you decide to submit one, must be returned to me by ______hrs,
on _____________. On case by case basis an extension of this period
may by granted. Appeals will be endorsed personally by each commander
(or acting commander) in the chain of command. For soldiers with
less than 10 years active Federal service at ETS, the approval or
disapproval authority is the Commanding General of Ft. XX. For soldiers
with more than 10 years active Federal service at ETS, the approval
authority is the Commander, MACOM. You are also informed the bar
will be reviewed every 6 months or 30 days prior to your PCS or
ETS. Mandatory separation proceedings will be initiated if you fail
to overcome the bar by the completion of the second 6 months of
review. If you believe you will be unable to overcome the bar to
reenlistment you may apply for immediate discharge IAW para 6-5f,
AR 601-280 and under the provisions of AR 635-200, Chapter 16. You
are now in a non-promotable status IAW para 7-6, AR 600-200. I will
forward a recommendation to lift this bar to reenlistment anytime
I believe your duty performance warrants retention.

CIVILIAN EDUCATION COUNSELING
Congratulations on enrolling in _______________.Your personal initiative
to improve your educational level through appropriate academic/vocational
schooling reflects your concern for your future. This is an important
step toward furthering your self development and will ultimately
enhance both your personal and professional endeavours. I appauld
and support this decision.
Receipt of tutition assistance dictates that your place of duty
during class is the classroom. Failure on your part, for non-military
commitments, to attend this course may result in UCMJ action, loss
of educational benefits, or both. However, be advised that course
enrollment does not automatically guarantee class attendance. Your
ability to attend class during assigned duty hours will be based
on current and future operational commitments and manning levels.
In the event that you are unable to attend class due to operational/manning
requirements, we will notify your instructor so that your abscense
will not have a negative impact on your pursuit.

CORRECTIVE TRAINING and COUNSELING
1. REFERENCE: AR 600-20, para 4-6b; AR 27-10, para. 3-3c
2. REFERENCE: How to Counsel Soldiers
3. REFERENCE: Military Leadership (FM 22-100)
3. Corrective training (extra or remedial training) is an effective
non-punitive disciplinary measure available when a soldier's duty
performance has been deficient and the soldier would benefit from
extra training. It must be directly related to an observed deficiency
and it must be oriented towards improving the soldier's performance
in the problem area.
4. A soldier's commander or any NCO in the soldier's supervisory
chain may authorize corrective training. A member of the soldier's
chain of command should be present and supervising the corrective
training session.
5. Army regulations allow corrective training to be conducted during
or after normal duty hours.
6. Corrective training is not punishment and should not be confused
with extra duty imposed as punishments under Article 15, UCMJ. Extra
duty need not be related to the soldier's misconduct. For example,
a soldier who receives an Article 15 because he was AWOL may be
required to perform cleaning duties as extra duty. Extra duty imposed
as punishment under Article 15, UCMJ may be ordered executed during
any off-duty time.
TOP
DEBT OBLIGATIONS
The Army requires that soldiers pay their debts promptly, failure
to do so damages credit reputations and effects the Army's public
image. The willful failure to resolve unpaid debts may result in
administrative or punitive actions to include:
a. Making it a matter of permanent record by the placement of memorandum
of reprimand, admonitions, or censure in
the soldier's official personnel files.
b. Denial of reenlistment under AR 601-280.
c. Administrative separation from the service (AR 635-100 or AR
635-200).
d. Punishment under the UCMJ, when proper such misconduct may be
charged under Article 92, 123, 133, or 134 of the
UCMJ.
Counseling service is available under the Legal Assistance Program
(AR 27-3). You are urged to seek budget counseling and consumer
protection advice. These services may be obtained from on-post credit
unions, Army Community Service Program Counselors (AR 608-1), or
through financial management seminars or workshops. You may write
your intentions about the debt in block 11 of the DA Form 4856-R.
The impact of an adverse separation can be severe depending upon
the type of discharge you receive. A dishonorable discharge deprives
a soldier of all veteran's benefits and may deprive him or her of
their civil rights. If separated for your duty performance, the
least favorable character of discharge you could receive is an under
other than honorable conditions discharge. Both may cause undue
hardships in civilian life and may reflect on your eligibility for
veteran's benefits, eligibility for reentry into the Armed Forces,
and acceptability for employment in the civilian community.

13 ( Unsatisfactory Performance ) is the commanders judgement of
your performance. Chapter 14 (Misconduct) is misconduct because
of minor disciplinary infractions, a pattern of misconduct, commission
of a serious offense, conviction by civil authorities, desertion,
and absence without leave. Under the provisions of these chapters,
discharge from the Army can be characterized as: Chapter 13 Honorable

MOTORCYCLE RIDER
The purpose of this counseling is to inform you the requirements
for motorcycle safety and licensing requirements.
Per Brigade Commander's Guidance, the Company Commander will visually
inspect each rider's motorcycle (to include DoD decal), drivers
license, and motorcycle training certificates.
Each motorcycle rider will be required to complete the basic motorcycle
course upon notification. Riders are highly encouraged to complere
the advanced rider's course.
Army motorcycle riders are responsible for wearing personal protective
equipment (PPE) both on and off post. Soldiers that fail to wear
PPE off-post and are in an accident will be subject to a line of
duty investigation and possibly not receive SGLI or medical benefits
from an accident. Higher visible PPE is preferred. Required PPE
is a helmet that meets the Dept of Transpo requirements, eye protection,
jacket, pants, gloves, boots. Rain suits are not required, but highly
encouraged in the
event of adverse weather conditions.
At all times assess your skill level and those that you are riding
with. If the other riders are more skilled and experienced, do not
attempt to keep up with other riders.
Ensure that you remove DoD decals and return to the post Provost
Marshall in the event that you sell your motorcycle.
In the event that you identify other motorcycle riders in the unit,
notify your chain of command.
Motorcycles are a safe form of transportation if we take the appropriate
actions in ensuring safety and being responsible. Ensure that your
motorcycle fits your body and the intent of its use. As with all
forms of transportation, drinking and driving will not be tolerated.
Those found guilty of drinking and driving will receive a General
Memorandum of Reprimand in their permanent file.
If you are a licensed motorcycle rider, but do not own a motorcycle,
all of the above applies if you ride a motorcycle that belongs to
someone else.

which has maternity care capability and that I may elect a separation
date no later than 30 days prior to expected date of delivery, or
latest date my physician will authorize me travel, whichever is
earlier. Further, I understand that many military medical treatment
facilities cannot provide maternity care and that unforeseen circumstances
or medical emergency could force me to use civilian medical treatment
facilities following separation from active duty. Should this happen,
I fully understand that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES can CHAMPUS, any
military department, or the Veterans Administration reimburse my
civilian maternity care expenses. Such costs will be a matter of
my personal responsibility. Further, I understand that the separation
authority, in conjunction with my military physician and the needs
of the Army, will determine my separation date. I also understand
that if I should remain on active duty, I will be expected to fulfill
the terms of my enlistment contract. If I elect to remain on active
duty, I understand that I must remain available for unrestricted
service on a worldwide basis when directed and that I will be afforded
no special consideration in duty assignments or duty stations based

performances continues. Unsatisfactory performances and acts or
patterns of misconduct can result in separation from the Army under
AR 635-200. Chapter 13 (Unsatisfactory Performance) us the commanders
judgement of your performance. Chapter 14 (Misconduct) is misconduct

commission of a serious offense, conviction by civil authorities,
desertion, and absence without leave. Under the provisions of these
chapters, discharge from the Army can be characterized as: Chapter
13 Honorable or under honorable conditions as warranted by their
military record. Chapter 14: a Discharge under other than honorable
conditions is normally appropriate for a soldier under this chapter.

TOP
UCMJ VIOLATION
____________________. Your actions are in violation of Article (**See
UCMJ Page for specific articles) of the Uniformed Code of Military
Justice (UCMJ). Continued misbehavior of this type may result in
judicial punishment or non-judicial punishment under Article 15
of the UCMJ adverse administrative personnel actions. Potential
adverse actions may include: written or oral reprimands, a bar to
reenlistment, extra training, suspension or revocation of your security
clearance, and involuntary separation under AR 635-200, Chapter
13, Unsatisfactory Performance or Chapter 14, Misconduct. The impact
of adverse separation can be severe depending upon the type of discharge
you receive. A dishonorable discharge deprives a soldier of all
veteran's benefits and may deprive him or her of their civil rights.
If separated for your duty performance, the least favorable character
of discharge you could receive is an under other than honorable
conditions discharge. Both may cause undue hardships in civilian
life and may reflect on your eligibility for veteran's benefits,
