If it is performance compared to what should always be expected (i.e. failure to maintain fitness standards, be on time, weapons qual, or maintaining uniform standards) it should be possible. For most circumstances, I believe that the particulars of the unit standards need to be outlined before being able to tell a soldier that they have missed the mark. It has been quite some time since I have written a counseling though and I may be mistaken. SGT Joseph Gunderson Fri, 26 Oct 2018 12:57:19 -0400 2018-10-26T12:57:19-04:00 2018-10-26T10:18:40-04:00
