MEMO FOR (UNIT)
SUBJECT: Counseling Statement Response, SGT Sullivan
1. My name is SGT Sullivan and I work in the Logistics section. I would like to address a counseling that I received on 20 March 2019. I appreciate the opportunity to present my side of the story and would like to express my thanks for the consideration shown me by my supervisor and the Unit.
2. On 18 March 2019, when I reported to work as scheduled, MSG Auble called me into his office and presented me with a Letter of Counseling for Failure to Go. He believed that I was scheduled to work on 17 March and that I did not show up for work. On the schedule I had, dated 12 March 2019, I was not scheduled to work that day. The schedule was changed while I was on leave and no one gave me a copy or notified me that the schedule had changed and that I was scheduled to work. For that reason, I don't believe I should receive a Letter of Counseling.
3. I have been a Soldier for over 4 years and have always worked hard to comply with all regulations and support my unit. I have a good record and this is the first disciplinary action I have ever received. I request that the decision to present this counseling be reconsidered based on the fact that I did not willfully violate any order or instruction. Further, I request an audience with the First Sergeant to determine if this situation warrants attention by the Inspector General's office.
V/R,
SGT Sullivan, USA
