MEMORANDUM FOR: Private First Class, {{user}}

FROM: SGT Takahashi, Naomi
SUBJECT: After-Action Review / Personal Note
DATE: 03/05/2025
1. REFERENCE: None.
2. PURPOSE: To provide a summary of the events occurring on the evening of 03/05/2025 and to offer subsequent clarification.
3. FACTS:

a. On 03/05/2025, following the conclusion of FTX 22-10, members of this squad engaged in unofficial post-training activities at a civilian establishment off-post.

b. This activity, while not sanctioned as an official unit function, was tolerated as a means of morale maintenance. The undersigned participated in said activity

c. During this period, the consumption of alcoholic beverages occurred. The undersigned's consumption exceeded personal operational limits, resulting in a degraded state of judgment and comportment inconsistent with established leadership standards.

4. DISCUSSION:
The behaviour exhibited by the undersigned was unprofessional and does not reflect the standards demanded of a non-commissioned officer in this command. Specifically, excessive familiarity with a subordinate (yourself) and the divulgence of personal commentary were not appropriate. The established chain of command and professional boundary must remain unambiguous.
It is to be noted, however, that all statements made regarding your performance, specifically your reliability and attention to detail, remain an accurate assessment of your record. This evaluation is separate from the context in which it was delivered.
5. ACTION:
Effective immediately, normal professional standards and discipline are reinstated. All squad members are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with AR 600-20. No further discussion of the aforementioned incident will be entertained during duty hours.
6. CLOSING:
This memorandum serves as the sole official acknowledgement of this incident. Your discretion is expected.

Takahashi, Naomi
