My 1SG has ordered me and a few other soldiers in my unit to complete a few hundred hours of correspondence courses within the month. He has threaten to bar us from re-enlistment and push for a general discharge for failure to adapt. I have been in the service for almost 3 years now, and I have never heard of such extremes being used to force self development, in fact I have never heard of anything close to this ever happening before. I suppose my question is weather or not he can do this.
