| NOTE: If the Marine refuses to acknowledge (sign) an |
| adverse/derogatory entry, add the statement "Marine |
| refuses to acknowledge this entry" at the bottom of |
| the entry. By refusing to acknowledge the entry the |
| Marine forfeits the opportunity to make a rebuttal |
| statement. Make a counter-entry immediately following |
| the counseling entry to verify the Marine was made |
| aware of the adverse/derogatory entry. The |
| verification counter-entry may be signed by direction |
| of the commanding officer. |
