[QUOTE="Marauder06, post: 602319, member: 19"] -It's a DA Form 4187, or just 4187, it's not a 41-87. Just an FYI. -If one of my troops is sending a 4187 to me, I expect it to be complete and 100% correct before it gets to my desk, for a couple of reasons. First, I want to make sure I have all of the information necessary to make a decision. Second, I don't want to screw around with multiple passes of the same document. It wastes my time, and shows that the submitter isn't serious about making it happen. And finally, if you send something through me to higher and it gets to higher and something is dorked up on it, who's getting the phone call? Guess what, it's not you. It's annoying and discourteous to have to deal with multiple passes of something easy, and it really doesn't get much easier than a 4187. Take the time to get it right the first time. If you don't know, ask. -You are your own career manager. I don't think it's a bad thing to provide a simple reminder to your immediate supervisor about something that has a pending deadline. While your request might be the #1 thing on their mind, I guarantee they have other things they are thinking about. I've reminded my superiors, and have been reminded by subordinates, about upcoming deadlines. Just do it is a professional and appropriate way and it should go fine. Good luck, and I hope we see you on the site with a green tag some day. [/QUOTE]
