The time for a soldier to receive nutritional counseling after being flagged is not universally fixed but is typically arranged promptly...
The timeline for a soldier to receive nutritional counseling after being flagged may vary based on the specific protocols of the military branch or the medical center involved. For example, at the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, after a soldier is identified as needing nutritional guidance, such as in the case of diabetes management, certified diabetes educators and registered dietitians are available to provide necessary nutritional information and support.
The urgency for counseling can also depend on the health status of the service member and the recommendations made by healthcare providers.
While there might not be a set rule across all military branches, soldiers are generally expected to attend nutritional counseling promptly after being flagged to ensure their health and fitness for duty are managed effectively.
