MEMORANDUM FOR MADE A MISTAKE, AMN,
FR123-45-6789
FROM: 4 XXX/CC
SUBJECT: Letter of Reprimand - Not Recognizing Outstanding Performers
1. It has been brought to my attention that you are not fulfilling your
role as a Non
Commissioned Officer; specifically you have failed to recognize subordinates for
their
outstanding performance.
2. NCO’s must take an active role in developing (mentoring) and assist
their subordinates. This
requirement includes:
“Appropriately recognizing and rewarding those
individuals whose military conduct,
bearing, and performance clearly exceed
established standards. One way to do this is by
participating in quarterly and annual awards
programs (AFI 36-2803).”
2. You are hereby reprimanded. You have engaged in aberrant behavior which
will not be
tolerated from a member of the United States Air Force. Your past behavior has
raised serious
questions about your ability to remain in the United States Air Force. For the
last two years,
2003 and 2004, you had 12 individuals under your command and there is not a
single
documented instance of any recognition to any of them. You have not created any
Letters of
Appreciation, Medals (AF Form 642) or Quarterly/Annual Awards (AF Form 1206)
package on
any of your members in this time frame.
3. Rewards such as praise, respect, and awards are given for appropriate
behavior in hopes of
getting subordinates to repeat the behavior. For instance, if a subordinate is
commended for a
job well done, this reinforcement should motivate the subordinate to perform
well in hopes of
again receiving recognition (positive reinforcement).
4. In the Air Force, the only way to recognize our outstanding performers
is to develop/submit
documentation to award our members. We can not give spot bonuses or raises, like
in the
civilian world. This is the only way to acknowledge, thank, and help them obtain
a promotion.
As Technical Sergeant, you are responsible for the development of all enlisted
personnel under
your supervision.
5. PRIVACY ACT. AUTHORITY: 10 U.S.C. 8013. PURPOSE:
To obtain any comments
or documents you desire to submit (on a voluntary basis) for consideration
concerning this
action. ROUTINE USES: Provides you an opportunity to submit comments or
documents for
consideration. If provided, the comments and documents you submit become a part
of the action.
DISCLOSURE: Your written acknowledgment of receipt and signature is
mandatory. Any
other comment or document you provide is voluntary.
6. You will acknowledge receipt and return this letter to me within 3
workdays of your receipt.
Your signature on this document is solely for receipt purposes and is not an
admission of guilt.
