My soldier (who is a PV2) was working on a MATV a week ago. It was a considerably hot day outside. Several NCOs, including a contractor, asked my soldier if he wanted some help or if he wanted someone to replace him on multiple occasions during that afternoon. Each time, he denied help and a replacement. Sometime later, the contractor asked him if he was good, and my soldier proceeded to scream at the contractor, stating "I have been asking for help and everyone ignored me!" Several NCOs overheard my soldier, and each of them told him to get down from the vehicle. He refused to leave the MATV, continued screaming at each of them. Eventually my PLT SGT was able to talk him down from the vehicle. To me this was complete disrespect for several NCOs, but I am not quite sure how to format the counseling.

It is very important that you are documenting this incident. You are doing the right thing. But I implore you to try and peel back the onion a little and see what's going on with this individual. People don't generally freak out without any warning for no reason. There may be some underlying stressors that are not immediately evident.

The PSG could be a good resource for you to utilize when conducting this counseling. If you both are present and convey a message of concern, while emphasizing that the behavior is unacceptable, you might be able to get the Soldier to open up about any underlying issues/stressors that contributed to the outburst.
