Promotion Counseling

Improved Essays
SPC Jones, this is your Promotion Counseling for the upcoming month of September.

At this time, I am unable to request you for promotion to SGT. It is not because you are unfit to be a Non-Commissioned Officer, but same tasks that need to be completed in order for you to be ready and be promoted quickly. As you may already know, per AR 600-8-19, you are within your Primary Zone for promotion from SPC to SGT. You only need 34 months TIS/ 6 months TIG to be recommended for a promotion board appearance and 36 months TIS/ 8 months TIG to be recommended to the rank of SGT from SPC. At this time, you have 37 months TIS/ 13 months time in grade.

As stated before, it is not that you are unfit for promotion to be an NCO, there are small tasks you

    Gladwell makes a very interesting argument in chapter 7 of Outliers (2008). He claims that the flight crew and their inability to communicate effectively is the number one cause of plane crashes. He supports his argument with studies on different cultures and their ability to communicate with persons in authority or of higher ranks. This inability for the “second in command” to communicate with the pilot, leads to information not being heard or in some cases said, and can have a fatal outcome.…

    Nonrec Fitness Standards

    This is a rebuttal to the nonrec I received last Tuesday. The nonrec states that I do not meet my OIC's physical fitness standards in order to be promoted. It does not exactly state it, but I know that he is referring to my 2nd class PFT. His "standard" for promotion as stated by the corporals a couple weeks ago while passing word was that anyone that does not have a 1st class PFT or fails the rifle range will not be looked at for promotion. Although, this standard is now easily achievable for me, it was not the standard for recommendation when I ran my PFT back in April.…

    Leadership Counseling I would like to take this time and speak on something that is often omitted completely and when it is performed it is not done so correctly. It is the subject of counseling. I have been in many organizations and assigned to many units. The one thing that all of these elements have in common is that the leaders are either lethargic or simply do not worry about counseling their subordinates. This is a mistake.…

    I agree with you that practicum is the beginning of a life of service that will benefit those who need help the most. Practicum is important because practicum is the first step to becoming a licensed counselor and the first step to living a life of service to others. The counseling practicum fosters the synthesis of academic learning with practical, hands-on experience. The practicum also provides the student with preparation for further training in professional counseling. Practicum is a time for application of the attitudes, learning, and skills that the student has acquired in his or her classroom experience.…

    As a fellow active duty officer of the department, I would strongly disagree and protest the validity of only officers holding a four-year college degree to be eligible for promotion to Sergeant. Although it is understandable that administrators want to move towards a command staff where those officers rising through the ranks are deemed professional; holding degrees in areas relevant to the performance of the duties of law enforcement and its operation, the experiences and life skills of those officers not possessing a degree is perhaps more effective in the daily performance of routine duties on the street. As suggested by Doener (2012) in “Introduction to Law Enforcement, An Insider's View”, the evidence of college-educated officers offering…

    During the middle of my second year in JROTC, I earned a promotion to the rank of platoon leader. Although excited to begin, I had to face the hard challenge of speaking in front of people, establishing my own authority, and battling my own indecisiveness. During my installation as a platoon leader, I made a collection of minor mistakes, particularly in where I stood, how to march in, and what to do with my platoon. When giving commands, I had a severe stutter.…
