This is your initial counseling, as your direct supervisor and Team Leader. I will underline what is expected of you as my soldier.
Accountability: You will be reporting to any formation and hit times 10 minutes. If you have any trouble making a formation or hit time you will let me know. Failure to do so will result in being counseled.
APFT: PT is not optional. You must ensure you keep up with your physical fitness. If pt with the detachment or team isn't pushing you, you must conduct pt on your own and continue to grow. Remember the Special Reaction Team standard is a 270 pt score or higher.
Military Appearance: You are expected to maintain CLEAN and SERVICEABLE uniforms at ALL times. Your military appearance needs to be I.A.W. AR 670-1 which states Soldiers must project a military image that leaves no doubt that they live by a common military standard and uphold military order and discipline. Your boots should not be worn and discolored. Purchase a boot cleaning kit to keep your boots clean. Your uniform should be clean, crisp, and without holes. There should not be permanent stains such as ink, dirt, or sweat on

As a member of the Special Reaction Team we are all very close but remember to give the proper custom and courtesy to all the NCOs and officers.
Career Progression: Education is highly encouraged. If you have not completed SSD-1, maxed out correspondence courses or enrolled in college, I highly encourage you to do so. These are ways for advancement that are completely within your control. If you are not sure on how to do something, ask me for guidance. That's why I'm here.
Personal Issues: Any personal or family issues that arise, make sure to inform me so that I can give you whatever support you may need. Do not be afraid to approach me with any concerns you may have, I cannot help a problem if I don't know the problem
The wear and appearance of soldiers in the United States Army are while in uniform should be neat. There should be no excess “things” in a person’s pocket but it should lie down flat. The person wearing the uniform should look neat and concise not drawing attention to themselves. Soldiers should look like a unit or group with everyone blending in not standing out because they look different. In the army it’s important to be part of a team and like teams that play basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse, softball, baseball, wrestling, and even chess teams. It’s important to wear the same thing. It shows unity and togetherness. This is important in the armed forces especially because of what they do. In the army, marines, navy, and air force
SPC Yancey this is your June monthly counseling, you have been doing an excellent job taking over for SPC (p) Wehle, and you have taken ownership of each task. Good job working on responsibility as well as being there for the section. I appreciate your willingness to take charge of situations in my absence. You have a good leadership ability, the Soldiers like you and want to work for you. This is a part of your leadership that you need to nurture. While you do take ownership of tasks and missions there is a weakness in your follow through on a given a task. I suggest that you trust but validate every tasks you give the troops. This confirms follow through and appropriate completion. Do not be afraid to make them redo a task if mot completed
Personal Issues: Don't hesitate to come to me with any issues you may have. My door is always open and I will do my best to help you in any way I can. If I can't help you, I will point you in the right direction and ensure you get the help you
In one’s life, there is that one place that is the more memorable than any other place in the world. For the men and women who service their country, deploying would be the most memorable place. Before the long, vigorous months in the closest place to hell, these man and woman share the same place that of the ones who have not deployed called boot camp. In the Marine Corps, recruits go through 13 weeks of physical and mental challenges aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD). But through all 13 weeks of being push to the limits, every Marines who came from San Diego MCRD could say the most memorable part of the depot would be meeting the Drill Instructors, getting their meal from the chow hall, and completing the final challenge as a recruit, the Reaper.
Thank you for your officer training information, it was very helpful. I think the retreat went well.
Effective training results in the measured potential of our Soldiers, which will be communicated directly to them through monthly and performance counseling. This counseling should not be limited to admonishment but instead present goals and challenges to help develop them for levels of greater responsibility, giving them a better understanding of themselves and what they are capable of. Effective training develops effective systems and processes which streamline mission success and develop greater synergy of a unit’s performance capability, while developing tactically and technically proficient
I will provide a comprehensive commander’s intent that would enable the ability for subordinates to exercise disciplined initiative during the combat mission. It is important to exercise initiative since there are still unknown enemy variables. I will use my combat experience, military education and sound judgement to exercise leadership influence, decision- making, and command authority. I would lead by providing purpose and direction to accomplish the mission, by being present and directing operations. This will enable the staff to develop
Prospective students who have aspirations for a military career and a college education will find them at a military college. This is a list of top military colleges in the United States.
As of current they are out in sector conducting a forty-eight hour mission. My first mission with this platoon will be with a group of complete strangers to me. As a leader I have the capabilities to lead any soldier anywhere, anytime, as well as the soldiers being able to follow the directions of any leader. One of the reasons the Army is as transverse as that fact. The more I’m able to acquaint myself with the Soldiers, the more accustom I will become with how each member of the group works. Within a diminutive time everyone will be in sync and working like a finely tuned machine of death. My platoon will be coming back to the COP tonight for their twenty-four hours down time. The first interaction with the platoon will be in force protection; this encompasses the manning the three guard tower positions operated by US soldiers. It is a little daunting jumping into things here, not actually knowing much about anything. The other squad leaders helped me out by showing me the ropes; it shouldn’t be that
1. In an effort to establish and/or reaffirm certain basic rules for the continued development of our NCO Corps, I take this opportunity to communicate with you. This memorandum will be given to each newly assigned NCO upon arrival in the command, as well as those individuals who are newly promoted into our Corps.
1. "Sustain the Force and Enhance the Team": Senior Leaders from 304th and 41st Signal Battalion met Thursday, 01 JUN 17 to conduct a Leader Professional Development seminar on Trust and a 5 mile hike around Camp Madison. Participants include Battalion Command Teams, Company Command Teams, and Platoon Leaders. Facilitated by CPT (CH) Budez, leaders were immersed in interactive scenarios, presentations, and discussions designed to provide tools for self-evaluation, relationship building, and team development. This LPD was a great opportunity to bridge the gap between our two organizations.
When it comes to the topic of military service being mandatory, most of us would readily agree that it’s a debatable topic. Where this argument usually ends, however, is on the question of violating free will. Whereas some are convinced that making military service mandatory offers good opportunities and promotes national unity, others maintain that it violates free will because it doesn’t give them an option. Though I concede that a person might not want to be in the military and shouldn’t be forced to, I still insist that making military service mandatory can help people make a better step in life, and promote national unity.
5. Chain of Command (COC) - Your COC consist of SGT Lopez (First Line Supervisor), Myself (SOT-B NCOIC), SFC Hollin (MID NCOIC), and CPT Avila (MID Commander). Remember all things flow up the chain of command, and should eventually go through me. I do not like, nor do I ever want to be blindsided by anything. If you ever have an issue with me, pull me aside and we can discuss it. If you are still not satisfied with the resolution, feel free to take it to the next higher in the chain of command.
QUESTION: - 4 Establish what consultation and communication channels are needed within the Student Volunteer Army to coordinate and implement public relations strategy.
Officer, I want to personally state my commitment and full command support to the Army 's
