TSgt Jumbo receives a phone call from an Airman who has been accused of being
AWOL and is now being charged 10 days of "bad time." Jumbo investigates the
situation, finds out A1C Zon failed toprocess the leave form. Jumbo discovers
several other members in the organization with the same problem. TSgt Jumbo
has already given A1C Zon verbal counseling for neglecting paperwork. While
discussing with his commander, Jumbo says, "I recommend an administrative
demotion, Zon can't follow simple orders."
TSgt Jumbo's ______ will MOST likely ______ his effectiveness.
a. inappropriate use of punishment; decrease
b. appropriate use of punishment; increase
c. inappropriate use of correction; decrease

using the PDP, which is critical to the Correction Arena. Supervisors should take
the least amount of action necessary to correct behavior and then progress up
from there. Therefore, Jumbo has verbally counselled A1C Zon in the past, but
should now move up the PDP by using either a LOC, LOA, or LOR. However, Jumbo
went directly to his Commander to discuss disciplinary actions. Since Jumbo uses
the correction arena of the PDP inappropriately this will decrease his
effectiveness as an NCO.
d. INCORRECT. According to the Discipline chapter, supervisors can use the
correction arena of the DM. Correction is designed to address ineffective
behavior, and seek to bring subordinates' behavior back within acceptable
boundaries using the least amount of force necessary. This is accomplished by
using the PDP or PDP, which is critical to the Correction Arena. Supervisors should
take the least amount of action necessary to correct behavior and then progress

During a conversation with his fellow Flight Chiefs, TSgt Gomez says, "This can
either be paper or electronic and is maintained outside of the organization. It can
only be implemented at the commander's level and houses an Airman's past
written counseling forms, legal, and non-judicial occurrences. This is outside of
the supervisor's control." TSgt Gomez's comments BEST identify _____.

the types of documents it contains and when documents were placed in the

EPR when placing members on and removing them from the control roster.
Members may only remain on the control roster for six consecutive months. In
the scenario, TSgt Gomez is clearly identifying the control roster.

unit on military installations. This allows them to have a separate chain of
command. Niland stated in his comments "sometimes a tenant unit on military

military or civilian counsel, the accused has the right to a Fair and Impartial Trial.
In order to guarantee a fair and impartial trial, the Area Defense Counsel is
ALWAYS a tenant unit on military installations. This allows them to have a

d. INCORRECT. According to the Discipline chapter, Representation by Counsel is
the fourth Basic Right of the Accused. Military Counsel is AL
