Service members can be counseled at any time for almost any reason (related to good order and discipline). I am unaware of any 72-hr limit. There may be guidance given to leaders that they should make every attempt to do it as soon as practicable after the incident occurs, but there is probably no prohibition on accomplishing the p. 13 counseling entries after some arbitrary 72 hour deadline.
