What do you do when a Soldier refuses to sign a counseling statement? Myth: Signing the counseling (DA Form 4856) states that the heading is correct as far as name, social security number, and that you have read the counseling. Fact: This is not the case with counseling. The signature on the NCOER as described in AR 623-205 paragraph 3-8 is where this myth comes from. There are no regulations governing counseling; only the guidance found in FM 22-100. |

AN ACO member recently asked the following question: I recently joined the U.S. Army as a prior service from the U.S. Marine Corps. During my time with the Marines I received many medals and ribbons. Thus lies my question; How do I know / find out what medals/ribbons are transferable between the two units (Marines to the Army)? |

Have you ever had a Soldier who is late? Have you ever been late for a formation and been chewed out without being able to explain yourself? Failure to Report is a serious offense and the military demands strict obedience with regard to dependability. The best method I have found is to deal with a Soldier in a professional and constructive manner. Being loud and demeaning only serves to harden a Soldier's position and builds resentment, frustration, and a sense of unfair treatment. This article explores TTP's for dealing with FTR before it happens and then walks you through a thought process so that if you have to make a hard decision like recommending UCMJ...it is done in professional manner, from a factual perspective. |

Some of our Leaders have requested information on Reception and Integration Counseling. This afternoon we took a few moments to outline the process. We hope this information is useful and provides you with a firm foundation. Remember as leaders you set the attitude and tone for all things. Your attitude and your tone determine the motivational level of your Soldiers. Let us know if you have any other subjects you would like to discuss! best wishes mark |

 This book is a quick reference for military personnel conducting range training. It stems from the author's more than 20 years of shooting experience using the M16/M4 series weapons for sport, training and combat.
It gives the "what" and "how" but also the "why" necessary to teach the proper operation and employment of the M16/M4 weapon system. Areas covered include: ballistics, malfunctions, maintenance, and sight adjustments of commonly issued optics.
