I need some examples of counseling statements to write on two soldiers for the month.
I wrote a counseling on my soldier on 6Oct2011 and it came back. So here it is 24Oct2011 and I have reworte the previous counseling. Can give my soldier the counseling still?
When you say the counseling came back I am assuming that someone senior in the chain of command found the counseling to be sub- standard or felt that certain items were not properly addressed.
You can give counseling provided the chain of command supports your action. I would run the counseling by the chain of command before you attempt to counsel the Soldier again.
You can rewrite the counseling statement and simply put a statement in the new counseling something like: This counseling modifies the counseling you received on _____. or This counseling documents the verbal counseling you received on ______. Once you have completed the new counseling allow the leader that disapproved the counseling to review the new one prior to giving it to the Soldier. You should also keep a copy of the previous counseling attached to the new counseling in case there are ever any questions as to why the counseling was rewritten.
I would also recommend the following actions:
1. Approach the leader that rejected the counseling and ask them to mentor you through the counseling process on this particular subject. By doing this they are assisting you and becoming part of the solution.
2. If you believe that counseling was rejected for other than professional reasons, consider typing up a memorandum of record that documents all the facts and specifics of the event.
3. Anytime you are typing a new counseling that you do not have experience in seek out the assistance of a senior leader and ask them to review the document and mentor you through the new situation.

How long after an incident happens must a soldier be counseled
If one thing on a counseling is wrong, does that make the entire counseling obsolite?
I would say that depends for example if the you were counseled for being late to work and you were not late…then there would be a issue with the counseling. On the other hand if you were counseled for being late to work and you were in fact late to work but maybe you were only 5 minutes late but the counseling states 15 minutes, you could indicate this in the session closing block and disagree with the counseling but it does not change the fact you were late.
So I received a new soldier two weeks ago, and I’m having a large amount of issues w/him, PT test failure, dirty soldier in general, he’s over weight, and has substantial financial issues, the question being do I need to do separate counseling’s for each incident or can I reflect in it all on the end of the month counseling? Saying PFC SNUFFY on day xxxxxx you failed a PT test, day xxxxxx you received a verbal counseling after coming to work three times after pt without taking a shower, ect… can I put it all on one counseling? I’ve been recommended to put each issue on a separate counseling form. Thanks for the help.
It would be best to document each significant issue separately. For example: PT, and overweight. Then address the personal hygiene issue in the monthly performance with a recap of the PT and Overweight. You do not want to beat the guy up you want to correct his performance and approach this in a professional manner. If you are not able to correct the substandard performance you want the chain of command to view your counseling as a professional and objective attempt to correct substandard performance. Ensure your counselings are professional, factual, and unemotional. Address the issue not the person. Hope this helps. You can also find loads of counseling information at ASKTOP.net
Hello. I was wondering how long an NCO has to write up a soldier after an incident. My husband was told on 20July that he is going to have to be written up for leaving his post to take his child to the ER. He tried calling the LT he was working with but he didnt answer so he left the message with his runner and left. It is now 24July and still nothing. Is there a certain time frame they have to do a counselling?
Starlite,
There is not time limit. FM 6.22 APP B states the counseling should be conducted as close to the event as possible. Now with that stated and given the information you provided if your husband took the steps you described and he is counseled he should very respectfully accept the counseling and then in the session closing portion of the counseling statement check disagree and write a response explaining what happened and the actions he took. He should also ask for a copy of the counseling statement. He is entitled to a copy of any document he signs. In most cases that will be enough and more than likely no further action will be taken. On a side note you can find all types of answers to questions like this on our other site called: ASKTOP.net The site has 1,000s of answers for soldiers that are having difficulties. When you go to the site simply type in your keywords in the search box and it will bring up all kinds of questions/answers and articles on the subjects you are searching for. Hope this helped.

does a counseling need to have a start time and a end time or can the nco just right on there what he wants for your correction training and you will continue that training until he feels you are done or he is “tired” or he says its over

Is it a requirement to have monthly counseling ‘proofread’ prior to actually counseling the soldier (on monthly counseling). I have been trying to find it in writing for a couple hours now, but to no reveal.
There is no requirement for proof reading. However proofreading does provide a supervisor the ability to mentor and guide inexperienced leaders. It also helps to ensure the counseling statements Soldiers received are well written and present a professional image
I just got a soldier in from another unit and none of his counseling got closed out. What can I do cause he has a board coming up and don’t want to make him or me look jack up.
SGT Q,
I would simply conduct a reception and integration counseling and then state in the plan of action that you will conduct an assessment at the 15 day and/or 30 day time period. There is nothing you can do about the other counselings not being closed out.
