Can my chain of command tell me which CSIB to wear?
My Brigade CSM put out that Soldiers are not authorized to wear any other combat patch except that of my current unit. AR 670-1 says that the Soldier may choose which combat patch to wear. My 1SG told me that there is a way for the CSM to enforce his order, kind of like an exception to policy. My question is, can the CSM enforce that order or does AR 670-1 over-rule him? Thank you...

Can I appeal an Article 15 after I initially decline?
I am in AIT and recently got an Article 15: 14/14. I was given the Article 15 unfairly in that I have previously done similar things but did not do it this time and was blamed for it. It simply isn't fair. My commander stated during the Article 15 hearing that he found me guilty of my reputation (being sarcastic and a goofball). What can I do? Can I appeal this even though I initially turned down the appeal? Will they hold be back in AIT longer than required?.. Read the Answer»

Can an inaccurate counseling statement stop my PCS?
I recently had an NCO give me a counselling that I was told was written wrong because it was written in 1st person. It also contained incorrect information. The counselor recommended UCMJ action against me well over a month ago. Now it is time for me to PCS to another unit and my leave form was kicked back by my commander for Adverse Action. Could this be because of this counselling? If so, is there anything I can do about the counselling being written wrong in the first place? I did disagree to the counselling but never got a chance to write a rebuttal. Is there anything I can do to get on with my PCS or get this counselling thrown out?.. Read the Answer»
