I am currently ADOS at a Unit in West Virginia and today was informed that a fellow NCO would be let go today after being ambushed with 5 counseling statements and recomended for termination.
This soldier belongs to a section that is very cliquish and doesn't really fit in there because of their beliefs.
Short backstory, This soldier is a model NCO from what I have always seen over the past 3 years but is being targeted for in my opinion not conforming to how the section does things when traveling on mission. I don't mean following rules and regulations, but not hanging out or being one of the "Bros".
The soldier showed me the counselings and 4 of 5 don't have merit in my opinion.
NCO has 5 day to appeal the termination but because of the Political atmosphere in our office, i fear it would be a moot point. Looking for any suggestions to help out a fellow (Decent )NCO. Can this be resolved at the lowest level?

I would advise this soldier to get with his higher chain of command and maybe even ask to talk with JAG about their rights. I don't know what this unit is or its mission but I was cross leveled into a unit from West Virginia and it was very cliquish, our senior NCO (was also the unit administrator) especially favored this one SSG and in my opinion even wrote and NCOER that used others accomplishments for his during our tour.

This needs to go to the CSM for review. He or she will know if these statements have merit. His Boss can then take appropriate action,?whatever that may be. Thank you for my service.

If you suspect this is command influenced at the lowest level, then the only way to fight it would be JAG and going to a higher level of command.
