Failure to Report-A Methodology for Dealing with Soldiers Who Are Late PDF Print E-mail

Friday, 18 September 2009
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.
