Should I document that my Soldier does not plan on Reenlisting?

Hello Top. Got a quick question. So one of my NCOs are in their reenlist net window - his ETS is FEB 2015. And he doesn't plan on reenlisting. Should I document this on 4856? If so what verbiage would be appropriate? Thanks in advance!

You should absolutely document the session.  Here is a short sample to get you started:

________{insert Rank/Name}, on ________{insert date}, we discussed your potential reenlistment.  Your current ETS date is:___________{insert date}, your current reenlistment date closes
on or about ________{insert date}.  Should you choose not to reenlist within your reenlistment window which ends on or about ________{insert date}. There is very little chance you will be allowed to reenlist
as the Army is changing reenlistment requirements to meet drawndown requirements.________{insert date}.

Should you choose not to reenlist I would encourage you to aggressively prepare and execute a plan of action that allows you to take maximum advantage to any and all Army programs that can assist you
in the transition process.

At this time Please indicate your decision by initialing the correct statement below regarding reenlistment status.

____I plan to reenlist and request you assist me in coordinating this action with the unit REUP NCO and unit commander

____I do not plan to reenlist and plan to separate from the service on my ETS date.
