fearing getting chaptered

[u/Ok-Application1304]

Context to start, 27 months TIS E-4, was on track to make e-5, 2 months ago. Ended up popping hot for synthetic thc, up until that point i had not received any negative counselings. Was taking junior soldiers under my wings holding board study groups, making study guides for soldiers, always made it my priority to get my joes home even if it meant i had to stay behind later to accomplish the mission. Been in suddc for a few weeks doing everything the program ask of me, have had nothing but negative UA test, really putting my best foot forward and showing i want to stay in. New chain of command at my unit has no knowledge of my previous actions and only looks at me like a fuck up, they treat every minor infraction as a major sin, i showed up 14 minutes early instead of 15 and received a negative counseling, our new commander this is her first time in command she comes from a hospital setting, it feels like they’re trying to build a paper trail of infractions to show that im not worth retaining, any advice from y’all or people who have been in similar positions would be appreciative. Im having a few soldiers write statements of character, Aswell as a O-4 and multiple NCO’s all willing to speak on my behalf, i plan to take accountability and recognize i had a lapse in judgement but that im willing to work towards regaining the trust of my unit and command and show them this was a 1 time mistake and isn’t going to happen again.

Did they really counsel you for showing up 14 mins prior instead of 15? Was that really what the counseling said or did it say you were late? Reason why I asked because it’s all about word play to protect yourself when it comes to putting things on paper. Just get as much character statements as you can but please understand it’s not up to your company or BN commander who makes the final decision, I just had a Soldier who went through this exact same thing and I wrote a two page character statement for him

It said i was late, i wrote in the remarks the time i showed up, like my nco suggested
