Which of the following is NOT a qualified self-referral agent outside the command?

The Commanding Officer is not considered a qualified self-referral agent outside the command. This role typically involves a level of authority and oversight within the military unit, which may create a conflict of interest regarding personal admissions of substance abuse or related issues. A Commanding Officer’s primary responsibility is to maintain unit readiness and discipline, and as such, a service member might hesitate to approach them for a self-referral due to concerns about confidentiality and potential repercussions.

In contrast, the other options listed are all professionals who specialize in providing support and counseling in a confidential manner, outside of direct command influence. Navy Drug and Alcohol Counselors, DoD Medical Personnel, and Fleet and Family Support Center Counselors are trained to assist service members while maintaining the necessary confidentiality that encourages individuals to seek help without fear of disciplinary action or stigma.
