I need some advise. I have a newly promoted SGM who works for me. I need to do his initial counseling. He has a horrible attitude. I heard that he cursed out a 1LT yesterday and he was very close to insubordination with me today. I have never had to deal with a senior NCO who acts like this. The initial counseling will address his job description but how do I address the disturbing conduct of this senior NCO. I unfortunately cant get the LT to tell me what occurred. Please give me some advise on the best way to document this. I would like to give him a chance to redeem himself but to honest I don't know if he is willing to.
