You can counsel someone for anything. It's just a written proof of a verbal statement.
I think a better choice may be to punish them for a failure to report, but I'm old school like that.
If the SM feels you owe them for a Sunday, I suggest volunteering them for EVERY SINGLE Saturday staff duty and staff CQ shift in your company or battalion, plus any after hours details your unit may need. When I was in 3ID we had to dig through dumpsters and separate recycling; that sounds like a great job at 1800 on a weekday.

My favorite for a failed room inspection, remove everything (furniture and all) out of said room, GI room (strip, was, clean).
Nope, you can't just move everything back in to a known clean room, that would be unsanitary. Wash all clothing items, TA 50 (at authorized locations, of course), and inside and out of all furniture.
Only had to do this to one Soldier in each new leadership position (SL, PSG). Everyone else was golden after that.
And yes, I sat and supervised the entire process.
Never thought of separating garbage from recyclables.

1SG (Join to see) lol the recyclable stuff was just some CSM daily detail, but it sucked. The room cleaning is definitely a 1SG classic. I saw it a few times at the 82nd. You only have to see it once to really engage the butthole pucker effect.

Of course! You're a soldier 24/7 and if he doesn't like it, well, he can choose to not reenlist. (Or go AWOL I suppose but that isn't the recommended course of action).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAH......I'm sorry. I had to laugh at that one. Counsel the Soldier that if they fail to report to TA-50 Layout per the directive of the 1SG, then no only will they not get that time back, but they will also not get the additional 14 days of time back from the Extra Duty they will be performing from that Article 15 for Failure to Report....
