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.

Got to love Generation Z. I suggest making him come in a couple Sundays for a layout.

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).
