SO you are the 1SG and receive a phone call from one of your PSGs early in the morning before first formation. He tells you the roads are a little bad due to inclement weather and he is on his way but will be running late. You have to have your PERSTAT submitted to BN before he will actually arrive (or his estimate), so that they can submit on up the chain.
What do you do?

To start with, I would tell him to arrive alive and not drive beyond his capabilities based on the hazard.
I would not mark him failure to report/repair (FTR) I would account for him (on the status report) as present. I would do the same for any member of the unit.
Specific to this scenario, the PSG is one of the most important positions within the company. If his integrity were in question, he wouldn't be one of my PSGs! Once he made it to the unit, I would discuss the way ahead of how he would correct his performance and reiterate the importance of him being present and in front of his formation....I trust this would not become a habit.

CSM, I really like how your very first sentence covers the safety of the PSG, that is caring about Soldiers!

X number present, 1 accounted for. I wouldn't claim he was present because if something happens , well that would just be bad! But at least I can say I've spoken to him if anyone wants to dig deep.

Would have worked in the old days, but as previously mentioned, "accounted for" is not an option on PERSTAT. Sometimes the old ways were the better ways.

It's been a minute since I've filled one out but I swear the one I did recently still had it on there but we could've been using an old version...who knows. I'd say they need to bring it back, it's a far better option then saying present and having someone get in an accident after having been declared present.

PERSTAT= personnel status report. His status is he is running late. He's just not present, he is not missing. Just like someone who is at sick call instead of formation. Seems simple to me.
