A Soldier fails to attend a PME (no-show). He is now ready to attend. What do you need for him/her to be eligible to attend the course? Who is the approving authority?
The approving authority to get a Soldier back-on an NCOPD roster after failing to arrive (or failing out) is the 1st General Officer (>= O7).
- If No-show: Work with your Soldier to fill out a MFR (Memorandum for Record, which documents conversations) about why the Soldier couldn't attend, and a 4187 (form for getting Soldiers into schools).
- If failed out: Begin 4187 and start documenting progress in a counseling to identify steps to train the Soldier up to NCOPDS standards. Continue training until the Soldier becomes eligible again (teach them what you learned from your own NCOPDS).
