Alrighty, on this past course BMOQ weekend I was issued an administrative warning of sorts, but I'm not sure whether it was just a red chit or an actual RW. Basically on the previous course weekend, I was given a make-up training form to take to my unit and get filled out, and bring it back for this past weekend to be processed. However it was quite impossible for me to get to my unit in the two weeks between weekends (final exams, personal issues) and as such did not have the sheet completed. When the course WO asked for the sheet I told him I didn't have it (clearly he took note of this). Now, this screw up is entirely my own fault, so clearly some kind of warning of sorts was the only acceptable thing to do, I'm by no means questioning the validity of the action, just the type. I was brought before the course officer and informed of the reason for the warning being issued and basically told to get my act together and asked how could I lead a platoon if I couldn't even get a paper signed and returned.
The form I had to sign basically stated the infraction (it was entirely printed) and was signed by me, the course officer and the OC. I do not recall any reference on the form being made to "You are warned of the following deficiencies, not having heeded previous verbal warnings" or "If you fail to correct the above mentioned deficiencies, you will be placed
on counselling and probation(C&P) or released from the Canadian Forces". I think I'd remember such strong statements. So here's where my confusion lies. The fact that the OC had to sign the sheet is leading me to believe it was an RW, because it seems to be overkill for an OC to sign a mere red chit. Since I've never actually seen a red chit before, I have no idea what one looks like, or states, for that matter. I have a feeling it was an RW, but I'm not sure. If it was an RW, I've really f*cked myself over early on in my career. Just goes to show that so far, the only things I've been good at are polishing boots, mopping floors and moving tables.
