Complete this section during or immediately subsequent to counseling.
SPC D******, you are hereby being counseled for Violation of the following articles: Article 91, Article 117 and Article 134. On
1 April 12, at 0600 hrs, you showed up for PT formation and when you walked in the door I told you to do push-ups for not
signing in from leave the night before. You rolled your eyes and told me that you were not going to do it and that you didn’t have
to. Even when I talked to you in private to determine if there were any extenuating circumstances, you still did not cooperate. I
then told you to stand at parade rest and you shrugged it off and ignored me. In addition, when SFC Smith, a senior non-
commissioned officer, pulled you into the office to talk to you, you did the same thing and was disrespectful.
This insubodination will not be tolerated . I don’t think you realize the situation you have put yourself into or the repercussions
that could result. You get out of the Army at the end of the year and all you have to do is follow the rules and stay out of trouble
to end your career on a good note. Instead you have adopted an uncooperative attitude. I am here to help you but if you don’t
care, I can’t help you. The bottom line is that this type of behavior is unbecoming of a Soldier in the United States Army and
In addition to being counseled on the points above, he received counseling on the following: (1) That continued behavior similar to that for
which he has been counseled may result in punishment under Article 15, UCMJ, court-martial, or adverse action such as a bar to reenlistment,
suspension of favorable personnel actions (promotion, retention, school), or other appropriate administrative sanctions; (2) That if this behavior
continues that separation under the provisions of AR 635-200 may be initiated; (3) That if separated prior to ETS, that he could receive either an
honorable, general, or other than honorable discharge for their current term of service, or their term of service would be uncharacterized if they
have served less than 180 days on active duty; (4) The basis for each characterization of service and the discharge certificates received for each
and that his character of service would become part of a permanent record and may be provided to any Federal agency if they were to apply for
either federal employment or security clearance; (5) The possible effects that each type of discharge would have on reenlistment, civilian
employment, veterans benefits, and related matters; (6) That a general discharge would cause loss of civil service retirement credit; (7) That an
other than honorable discharge would result in him being reduced to the lowest enlisted rank, loss of payment of accrued leave, and loss of all
benefits administered by the Veterans Administration and other federal and state agencies; (8) That separation prior to ETS may preclude him
from enlisting in any component of the Armed Forces; (9) That separation prior to ETS may cause him to lose their entitlement to education
benefits and money paid into the Army College Fund; (10) That separation prior to ETS may cause him to repay any unearned bonus received
for enlistment or reenlistment; (11) That it would be unlikely that any attempt to have his characterization of service upgraded would be
successful; (12) That he is encouraged to make every reasonable effort to ensure his performance and conduct meet military standards; (13) That
he would be given a reasonable effort to bring their substandard performance and conduct to acceptable military standards.
