Since this is so old of a post, I'm jumping in here and post-jacking for visibility:

You need to appoint a leader for the scum-bags, and your Officers and Sergeants need to man the fuck up, or this will take away all your time from who actually needs / deserves it: the good Soldiers.

Here's how I've seen this handled before: We had a guy who would not stop smoking weed. Every time he pissed hot, we gave him another 45 and 45 from the boss man, and everything started over again. This guy became the CSM of the Privates on Extra Duty, as the Sergeants never had to tell the guys anything, as this guy had been on Extra Duty for like 7 or 8 months straight (we had a bad drug problem, but the HQ building had never looked nicer).

Finally, the CSM pulls this guy into his office, so I was told by the Sergeants: "We will stop pissing you, but you have to at least show up for extra duty. Finish your last 45 and 45, and your gone forever."

I guess it worked, because this fucker disappeared, as did all the rest of our coke and meth guys.

You need to realize that some Officers and Sergeants don't have the stomach to do what needs to be done for the good Soldiers to do well. They'd rather have their heads up their asses all day, patting themselves on the backs about how many drug convictions they got last year... all while your good Soldiers are being ignored. These guys will get what's coming to them, don't worry about that. Do your counseling, get legal to run their packet, and it should just be another battle drill when you have to do something like this. But it shouldn't be your focus... oh, no.

When's the last time you counseled a Soldier, told him how great of a job he was doing, and you really valued his contribution?

If you spend more time dealing with your fuck-tards than you do with the good ones, then your chain of command has failed you...
