So my situation is that a battle buddy of mine threw me a can of dip while I was ground guiding, i looked at it and put it away, I got in trouble for not paying attention, the next day my squad leader said I'm no longer allowed to dip in uniform, I've looked up AR-600-63 which covers Tobacco use can he do that?

Not paying attention while ground guiding can get someone killed, and you were not paying attention. Learn to pick your battles.

I understand Sgt, but I digress, this has not been the first time they have tried to replace this "rule" on me, another time was for simply knocking over my spitter

SPC (Join to see) - As a dipper myself I really had to learn there was a time and a place. I had drill sergeants that would dip 24/7 and that was my introduction to smokeless tobacco in the military so when I got to my unit I thought I could dip all the time as well. One time I was in formation when I let a long trail of spit hit the ground. Needless to say I learned quickly (only took an hour or two) that formations aren't for dipping or rather aren't for spitting. You're young and new and in a combat arms MOS, your job for now is to get shit on and learn pain, but it'll make you better in the long run trust me.

Your looking in the wrong regs, I highly recommend that you chose your battles wisely. If you decide to stay in you will bring unwanted attention over something trivial in the scheme of things.

Remedial/corrective training is supposed to correct the deficiency. Considering the potential injury or worse of your inattentiveness, it is appropriate. His goal is to ensure safety and that you won't do it again. So, will this correct your deficiency?
