MEMORANDUM FOR MADE A MISTAKE, AMN, FR123-45-6789

FROM: 4 XXX/CC

SUBJECT: Letter of Reprimand

1. On Thursday, 30 November 2006, ??? late travel vouchers were discovered on your desk. These vouchers did not have the recovered cover letter detailing the reason the vouchers were being held.

2. On Thursday, 30 November 2006, you were formally counseled by TSgt <LNAME> for this same duty failure. You have also been admonished by MSgt <LNAME> and MSgt <LNAME2> for late vouchers discovered 26 August 2006 and 5 Sep 2006.

3. Your failure to do your job caused a total of $XXX of late payments. This amount is $XXX Government Travel Card payments that were made late. Also, $XXX in member payments were not paid in a timely manner. Due to your negligence the entire section may not meet the Financial Management Indicator for December 2006.

4. This action is inexcusable and yet it continues. Again, your failure to do your job as required causes late vouchers against the required ACC & AFAFO mandate of 95% paid in five days. Not only does your disregard for timely payments hurt your Travel Team, is also means our customers do not receive their payments in a timely manner, and possibly Bank of America for GTC payments. Your actions reflect poorly on the Travel Team as a whole for the <BASE> AFB community. Not only does it reflect poorly on Travel Pay, but the squadron as well. Attached is a detailed list of the late vouchers.

5. You are hereby reprimanded for violating Article 92, Failure to obey order or regulation. I fully expect for this not to happen again. Not only does it reflect poorly on your ability to perform your job, it also reflects poorly on the Travel Pay section and the ## Comptroller Squadron as a whole.

6. PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT. AUTHORITY: 10 U.S.C.8013. PURPOSE: To obtain any comments or documents you desire to submit (on a voluntary basis) for consideration concerning this action.
