Can you give some more clarity on what this person is not meeting the standard on? What did you have to counsel this person on? I’d recommend some tactical patience as you both figure your relationship out. But, if this is a concern for you, you need to go to the OPS SGM. Talk to him/her, get their feedback. Take that advice and try for a while. If that doesn’t work, talk to the BN CSM and XO. Then when nothing works, you goto the CSM and CDR with your stack of counseling statements and say you want him gone.

Start racking up those counseling statements! Thats the best ammo you can have for anything you need to do with this situation.
