| I agree with SFC W and 68Rvet...how can you force somebody to give someone else a ride, in their on POV?!?! Unless the unit provides the vehicle, nobody can be told to pick someone else. I had one of my soldiers belive that it was MY responsibility to get him to work. He was always calling me to give him rides to work, and i always did, no big deal...one day we had TA-50 layout, and he had to bring his stuff to work. He did not called me to tell me he needs a ride (sometimes he will get someone else to pick him up), he just decide not to bring his stuff. When i asked him why he didn't brought his stuff he said that he didn't had a ride, he walked that day. WTF...you could call all the other times you didn't had a ride, but you could't call me now? So i told him to walk home and get his stuff and walk back to work, unless he finds someone to give him a ride...i didn't care how he did it, i told him to get back to work with all his stuff, within one hour. His response was, why don't i give him a ride, because is my responsibility to to take him to work! SO, because i gave him rides to work every time he asked me, he thought that is my responsibility to do that. When i told my superiors the conversation i had with my soldier, they told me that it was fault, that i enabled him by drive him to work all the time, and this way he took me for granted...he thought i was a push-over...well, guess what, i counseled him right away, and show him who he is dealing with, lol. Ok, i got off track here...bottom line is, is nobody's responsibility to take you to work, but your own...and definately, you can't counsel somebody for not give someone else a ride...unless you are somone else's driver/aide (CSM, BN CDR...), then you will get a Gov. vehicle, and all you do is drive them around, lol. | | Posts: 665 | Location: All over the world | Registered: 03 August 2010 |

| since when is it a soldiers responsibility to get another soldier to PT? you better get yourself out of bed twenty minutes early and be out there picking that soldier up before you want to slam one of your troops sarge.
before you do anything you better figure out what's going on with the soldier who was late... why doesn't he have a POV? where is his money going if he can't afford a car? does he have financial issues? does he need financial counseling? why didn't he coordinate with you for a ride?
even if he can't afford a car a used bike and helmet is only about 50 bucks... you better get that troop on the right track! | | |
