Administrative Reprimands (Letters of Counseling, Letters of Reprimand)
All too often, military members fail to realize just how damaging an administrative
reprimand can be to their careers. What may seem like an unimportant and
isolated document often leads to lowered performance reports, loss of
promotion, and loss of favorable assignments. The snowball process starts
with the administrative reprimand, and once started, it can be exceedingly
difficult to stop.
You didn’t sign away your rights when you joined the military. Certainly
you gave up some rights by volunteering to serve, but you did not give
up your right to due process. Part of that due process is the right to
respond when your command takes administrative action against you. The
manner in which you respond and the avenues that you pursue in fighting
against these administrative actions can be the difference between keeping
and losing your career.
