Failure to report, theft, alcohol related incidents, use of controlled substances, A.W.O.L., writing bad checks (in multiple states), A.P.F.T. failure, malingering, spousal abuse, you name it. Patterns of misconduct, similar to the patterns of misconduct they displayed prior to entering service. Go figure.Had a few of them? What were there transgression in the Military?
Unless you have the rank and command entitling you to be a separating authority, YOU didn't separate anyone, the respective commander did. Some of "us" did NOT have commanders that supported their subordinate commands.Ive had little problem involuntary separating people from my units when conduct dictated so. It all comes down to the leaders willingness to put in the time and work. Many are lazy, a few ignorant, some stupid, a few all three, leaders in those category "bitch and whine" about not being able to deal with, separate Soldiers with qualifying misconduct. The rest of us have no problems in my experience.
Couldn't agree more.Any leader today that allows a Soldier in todays Army stay in having shown a pattern of misconduct (AR 635-200, chap 14-12b ) , or single serious incident(AR 635-200, chap 14-12c ) is a failure in my opinion.
