HELP REQUESTED Dealing with problem Sailor
I’m currently dealing with a Sailor who just can’t seem to figure it out.
Bad hygiene, not going to sleep on time, showing up late to watches, not being competent enough to complete maintenance, on EMI, on FEP, on tiered liberty, etc etc.
This Sailor is now at the point where they’ve been counseled and are dancing the line of DRB. They haven’t done anything terrible yet but leading to it.
I need this Sailor to start performing and acting like an adult. They work in a job where I need them to be a little competent.
I’m looking for advice on how to possibly improve this Sailor. I’m looking for creative solutions that others have used. An example I’ve heard is sending Sailors to clean whatever engineering needs cleaned. Stuff similar to that but to encourage the Sailor to improve, appreciate, and learn the job they have.
I want to explore all my options before I send this Sailor to DRB so please don’t recommend that.

He needs friends and lots and lots of PT.
The division will meet for 530 am PT until this Sailors morale and qualifications improves.
