How many times do you use physical corrective training to help a soldier correct deficiencies before using negative counseling statements?

I personally believe good ole push-ups will address the issues soldiers have with being on time, subpar customs/courtesies, and general lack of professionalism (along with verbal communication on expectations following said incident). What are your thoughts and/or methods in discipline?

As the regs state that the corrective training must meet/match the infraction, I am a firm believer in education of the mind while cramping the hell out of the hand. I assign essays that are to cover the infraction, the disciplinary actions that can occur, the negative effects the infraction(s) can have on the unit (whether this be section, squad, platoon, etc.). This essay is to be written in pen, in print, no errors of ANY kind, and 500 words.

Agreed. PT for corrective training should only be meted out if it was a correction to a deficiency regarding PT. Also, unless it is poorly written, there is no such thing as a "negative counseling statement" as the endstate is to improve an undesired action.

If a soldier has a history of being a problematic soldier, I think the best solution is to generate a paper trail to help ensure that soldier gets kicked out of the army sooner then later. Corrective training (of any type) won't fix soldiers who don't want to improve.
If the soldier is otherwise a decent soldier, I strive to make the training relevant to the offense.
