 SGT Crawford, on 6 April 2016 you failed to pass the APFT administered by HHB 2-3 FA BN. Your failure to meet minimum Army standards is an overall indication of your less than acceptable fitness level/standards. Your ability to pass the APFT is of great concern to me for many reasons.

Soldiers have access to a variety of professional care and guidance and are free to make appointments for these services but, when an appointment is made, it is the Soldier’s responsibility to either cancel the appointment in a timely manner or show up for these obligations. AS a Non- Commissioned Officer, there is no valid excuse for missing an appointment. You must find a way to make sure you don’t miss future appointment. You have shown flagrant disregard for the rules and have sown the seeds of deceit among your rank. I expect you to work diligently to clean your reputation, redeem yourself and return to your previous hardworking and respectful …show more content…

    Responsibility increases when soldiers believe that they have personal control over their mission performance, performing out of desire to do well instead of just following orders. There have been many studies that have suggested that when a Soldier feels that they have personal control over work performance the result is that the Soldier has a better task performance, better problem solving, a higher persistence in accomplishing the task, more positive emotions and even better psychological and physical health. Responsibility and accountability are two of the main factors in being a successful Soldier in today’s U.S. Army. You must be a responsible soldier if you want to make it through deployment alive. Or even worse, if you fail to be responsible you could risk someone else’s life or your entire squad’s…
