Respect Remediation
The Respect Remediation Program enables a cadet who is lacking
in one of the Coast Guards core values to identify and correct
deficient areas of professionalism and prudent decision-making that
resulted in the Respect offense
After being assigned to Respect Remediation, a cadet will have
an initial meeting with the Charlie Company Respect Department Head
to discuss the offense and the remediation process, then meet with
the Equal Opportunity Advisor
17.
Once the EOA feels that the cadet has been successful in their
remediation, they will make a recommendation to the Respect
Department Head that the cadet be removed from the remediation
program
The cadet will write a formal request, in the form of a memo,
to be removed from the Respect Remediation Program detailing the
lessons they learned during the course of their remediation
The cadet is ultimately responsible for completing the
requirements of the program and making the necessary changes for
professional growth in the spirit of the Coast Guard Core Values.
If a cadet completes a full 8 weeks of Respect Remediation without
making sufficient progress to be removed from the program, the
cadet may be evaluated for a Suitability of Service board.
