I was just promoted to E-5 in June. I am a reservist and just recieved my first team this drill. Long story short i have some counselings to write for a couple of the members of my team and i am having trouble since i have not written counselings before. Does anyone have any good resources to help me get the idea of writing couselings? I dont want to put too much information about the situations on here but the result is 2 corrective action couselings.

I would begin by consulting the ATP 6-22.1 The Counseling Process (July 2014). I would also urge you to seek out mentorship from your senior NCOs. If they are good at their job, they will have a "leadership toolbox" that can provide you quality examples of any type of counseling you may need.

SGT Google has many examples you can use to tailor for your own. Often units have commonly used event counseling forms on some type of Shared Drive. Check there, if you have access.

This might help too.

Do Army Leaders (Military Leaders) really understand counseling and leader development? |...
I am interested in your thoughts on how you think we are we are doing, as an Army, (Navy, Air Force, Marines) with performance and professional growth counseling, and hence leader development. The latest Army definition of Leadership added "improve the organization," which I interpret to mean improving both the unit and the individuals serving there. The latter requires a concerted counseling and leader development focus. This is the latest:...
