"They're just reservists" is an attitude of disposability.PanzerAggie06 said:My Name Is Judge said:Teslag said:
Well I counseled and didn't let 6 soldiers get paid this past weekend because they haven't got their flu vaccine yet (brigade directive was to have it by December 1st). So chew on that one for a bit.

Congrats!
I was unclear as to how the TeslaAg could, of his own accord, prevent soldiers from being paid. However, I was under the impression we were discussing active duty soldiers. Interfering with active duty personnel's pay is a very different beast than what the OP is describing as a reservist. The reserves are fairly straight forward. Don't need medical protocols? Don't get paid. This covers everting from dental to eye care.
And then - beyond the personal side - there's the issues of unit morale, your relationships with the unit if you actually were to activate, and attrition.
Sobel vs Winters. Just because you're operating within your structural allowance doesn't make you a leader.
So how do you get them to get the flu shot when they've known about it since august and missed the December cut off? Educate me, maybe there's a better way than mine. Keep in mind the other 130 or so soldiers other than these 6 didn't have an issue getting it done.
