Purpose of Counseling
The purpose of this counseling is to document the fact that you lost your military ID, did not report the loss for several days, and was not aware of the required actions to take when an ID card is lost.
Complete this section during or immediately subsequent to counseling.
Key Points of Discussion:
On 11 Dec 2010, when you reported for duty, you realized that you had lost your military identification card. Searching the barracks and your car did not produce it. The last time you can positively state its whereabouts is last Friday afternoon.
Your military ID card is military property and belongs to the government. It is your responsibility to safegard it and report its loss immediately to your supervisor or reporting official. The loss of a military identification card is a serious event which could have far reaching effects and possibly even jeopardize the security of American military installations worldwide.
I know you have already replaced your ID card but, in the future, maintain daily control of your ID card so that you can be aware it's missing sooner and report the loss of your identification card immediately and begin action to replace it and prevent unauthorized use. The agency to contact, after informing your supervisor, is the ID office in Building 750, Soldiers Support Center. Note that you must report your ID card missing to the MP station before the ID card/DEERS section will initiate action to replace it.
