<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The two are separate issues.<div>If they can't perform as a leader, or in their MOS, then leadership should consider an administrative reduction and/or flag.</div><div>If the Soldier has accomplished something noteworthy, then they should be considered for an award.</div><div>The two are not mutually exclusive.</div><div>Take for example, a Soldier that performs poorly as an NCO, but is an outstanding athlete and gets selected as an All-Army Athlete... or a Soldier that lacks interpersonal skills, but finds themselves in a situation where their heroics save the life of a person.</div><div><br></div><div>Given, if a NCO is a PAC clerk and doesn't know the difference between a DA 543 and the ID10T form, but can perform CPR... a reclass might be in order.</div>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><br /><br /><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText">CW2 Evans is absolutely right, that is two separate issues.<br />If that NCO actually gave up on a soldier, that NCO needs to go through the<br />reduction board back to SPC. Everyone knows as an NCO you NEVER EVER give up on<br />your soldiers no matter how bad the issues can be. As an NCO you don’t have the<br />luxury to pick and choose who you want to train and mentor. You grab that<br />soldier and you do everything in your power to take care of that soldier and<br />bring them to were you need them. That's the bottom line.   <p></p></p><br /><br /><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoPlainText">      If the NCO gets an impact award for<br />something completely different then that NCO obviously did something right and<br />earned that award.<p></p></p><br /><br />
