I am just throwing this out as a vignette. I am curious what kinds of things leaders could do, would do, and should do. At what phase in their career does this become a career ender (BLC, ALC?) [Other branch equivalent professional military education as well]
Again, not an issue for me..just a conversational topic.

As a leader, understanding why the SM failed out regardless of what PME, PT Test or Weapons Q. This would be the first step to helping the SM. Everyone has a bad day, I sure do. Retraining and teaching the SM is being a leader. I do this a lot with my commo section. Talking to them as a group and one on one. A leaders responsibility to me is caring about the SM, not because the Army say I need to because I'm In a leadership position, but actually care. You can only do so much for a SM, I do understand that. And at some point its time to send them on there way. But if your not giving a 100% to the SM, well your wrong.

I was informed that I could not negatively reflect on their NCOER because I had not counseled them to pass the mandatory MOS required course... mind blown

Sir, that does seem pretty outrageous. However, at my past school house they drilled it into us that we need to counsel every action/requirement we expect of them. Moreover, remark anything out of the normal expectations the marine displays; good or bad. Seems like someone took a formality a little too seriously.
