Be advised that continued conduct of this nature may result in initiation of a bar to reenlistment, administrative action to include your separation from the service, and/or punitive action (i.e. UCMJ action). If this conduct continues, action may be initiated to involuntarily separate you from the service under AR 635-200, Chapter 5, 11, 13 or 14. If you are involuntarily separated, you could receive an Honorable, General Under Honorable Conditions, Other Than Honorable, or Uncharacterized Discharge. An Honorable Discharge may be awarded under Chapter 5, 13 and 14. An Uncharacterized Discharge may be awarded under Chapter 11. A General Under Honorable Conditions Discharge may be awarded under Chapter 5, 13 and 14. An Other Than Honorable Discharge may be awarded under Chapter 14. If you receive an Honorable Discharge, you will be qualified for most benefits resulting from your military service. If you receive a General Under Honorable Conditions Discharge or an Uncharacterized Discharge, you will be disqualified from reenlisting in the service for some period (i.e. at least two years) and you will be ineligible for many veterans benefits to include but not limited to the Montgomery G.I. Bill. If you receive Other Than Honorable Discharge, you will be ineligible for most, if not all, veterans benefits to include but not limited to the Montgomery G.I. Bill and you will be precluded from reenlisting in the service. If a General Under Honorable Conditions, Other Than Honorable, or Uncharacterized Discharge is given, you may face difficulty in obtaining civilian employment as employers have a low regard for less than Honorable Discharges. Although agencies exist to which you may apply to upgrade a less than Honorable Discharge, it is unlikely that such application will be successful.

Performance counseling is required under the officer, NCO, and Army civilian evaluation reporting systems. The officer evaluation report (OER) (DA Form 67-9) process requires periodic performance counseling as part of the OER Support Form requirements. Mandatory, face-to-face performance counseling between the rater and the rated NCO is required under the noncommissioned officer evaluation reporting system. (See AR 623-3). Performance evaluation for civilian employees also includes both of these requirements. Separation actions may be initiated if unsatisfactory behavior or performances continues. Unsatisfactory performances and acts or patterns of misconduct can result in separation from the Army under AR 635-200. Chapter 13 (Unsatisfactory Performance) is the commander's judgment of your performance. Chapter 14 (Misconduct) is misconduct based on minor disciplinary infractions, a pattern of misconduct, commission of a serious offense, conviction by civil authorities, desertion, and absence without leave. Under the provisions of these chapters, discharge from the Army can be characterized as: Chapter 13 Honorable or under honorable conditions as warranted by their military record. Chapter 14: a Discharge under other than honorable conditions is normally appropriate for a soldier under this chapter. However, the separation authority may direct a general discharge if such is merited by the soldier's overall record. It's an unfortunate fact of Army life that no matter how hard you work or how many hours you put in, your accomplishments won't be recognized unless they can be accurately represented by the words contained on a single sheet of paper: your NCOER. You are being counseled for poor performance/misconduct. Continued poor performance/misconduct can result in separation UP 135-178 chapters 9 and 12; or transfer to the IRR. If separated, you could receive a discharge with a characterization of service as General under honorable conditions or under other than honorable conditions. A discharge under less than honorable conditions could affect your entitlement to reenlistment, civilian employment, veterans' employment, veterans' benefits, and education assistance benefits. While you can apply to the Discharge Review Board or Army Board for Correction of Military Records to upgrade the character of your service, it is unlikely that you will be successful.an exceptionally talented and gifted NCO who consistently produced superb results - a must select for promotion The Army Achievement Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Meritorious Service Medal are probably the most commonly submitted and awarded decorations in the Army.
