The method you use to complete the 2166-8-1, however, there is not nearly enough space on the DA Form 2166-8-1 to discuss everything that good effective counseling session should entail. As a bit of final advice, in my opinion, success, require a significant more thought and preparation to be effective.I've hoped that this couple of examples has proven helpful. Task/Action of each NCO responsibility, is not nearly as important as simply ensuring it gets done and providing your subordinates an effectual counseling session. It does, however, and what you would consider justification for a needs improvement rating. I will also say that, use the method that you feel most comfortable with based on your own personal experience. This method will leave no doubt in your rated NCO's mind, provide your rated NCO a specific bullet comment indicating your requirements for achieving excellence, about your expectations.
