NCO DLC Test 3 - Multiple Choice Exam Questions And Answers 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 to process 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 d. appropriate use of correction; increase - ANS a. INCORRECT. The scenario does not best illustrate punishment, which, according to the Discipline chapter, can only be administered by officers on G-series orders to the enlisted members. TSgt Jumbo is an enlisted service member who cannot administer punishment. As an NCO he can help his commander when making a decision for punishment. b. INCORRECT. See rationale for correct response and answer "c" for additional information. c. This answer is CORRECT. According to the Discipline chapter, supervisors should 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, 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 up from there. Therefore, Jumbo did not appropriately use the correction; rather than use (i.e. LOC then LOA then LOR); Jumbo went directly to his Commander to discuss disciplinary actions, which cannot increase his effectiveness. See rationale for correct response for additional information. 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 _____. a. UIFs b. Article 15s c. Control Rosters - ANS a. INCORRECT.

Once an UIF is established, it shows up on personnel reports for as long as it exists. UIFs can exist for only one year or as long as several years depending on the types of documents it contains and when documents were placed in the folder. See rationale for correct response for additional information. b. INCORRECT. The scenario does not best identify Article 15's, which, according to the Discipline chapter, is non-judicial punishment (NJP) such as: reduction in pay grade and forfeiture of pay. See rationale for correct response for additional information. c. CORRECT. According to the Discipline chapter, the Control Roster is the most serious of all administrative actions.

In the scenario, TSgt Gomez is clearly identifying the control roster.
