What happens when a student executes a drop on request?

• A. The Student Is Transferred to Another Unit
• B. The Student Is Reprimanded
• C. The Student Is Immediately Removed From the Training Area, and a Written Summary Is Maintained in the Command's Permanent Records
• D. The Student Must Retake the Entire Course

Answer: (C)

Dropping on request means the student voluntarily withdraws from the current training course. The immediate step is to remove the student from the training area to prevent disruption and maintain safety and flow. A written summary is then placed in the command’s permanent records to document the withdrawal, provide a formal record for future reference and scheduling, and support any follow-on counseling or reentry decisions. This action is administrative, not disciplinary, and it doesn’t automatically transfer the student or require retaking the entire course.
