Right Place Time & Uniform

The United States army values soldiers that are responsibility for their actions and equipment. Being responsibility means being

The importance of accountability, are being on time and in the right uniform. The main reason we have formations and that we are trying to keep account of personnel to know where everybody is at, at all times. I have learned in the past years that I have been in that being on time is the most important thing that you need to do. For one the accountability of personnel is major, it plays a big role in the deployment and the readiness of soldiers. I would have to say that I was wrong for not showing up at my appointed place of duty I should have gotten up and made it to the swimming pool. But in all things that have been done I have seen that accountability is the most important asset here for

What this means to me reading up on this is that i need to stop worrying so much about performing physically and expecting it to carry me through my military career and start becoming proficient in all areas and applying myself in areas that might not mean so much to me, or that i don't understand. Also i think i've learned that i need to stop relying on my own knowledge and start becoming a sponge to those who have been in longer than i, and when i am told to do something take it or not to do something to take it to heart and not do it again because it not only comes with punishment but also loss of credibility of those who are in charge of me. Credibility and trust are essential when working with a team of men like we do everyday, so i am going to try my best to be the best and most professional soldier i can be even when no one is looking.

Soldier’s development is essential. Not only does it define a Soldier’s character, it enhances the non-commissioned officer. The human resources sergeant’s ability to further define their character helps to solidify who they are. The attributes that form your character become a testament to your values and beliefs. Those values provide the pride in his or her sense of

The life lessons of a young Army Armored Crewman trusted into the life of an Infantry Company was new to myself and up in the air to complete shenanigans. Being my first deployment in the Army and new to the Infantry’s mindset and how much they all like to walk the deployment was about to have its ups and downs.

My dad was sent off in 2010 to Afghanistan and I was about nine years old at the time he left. We, my family, had been slowly anticipating -waiting- his send off knowing that he had to leave soon, and it was hard, especially as a little 4th grader. When the dreaded day came, we all jumped into his arms, giving him bear hugs, and watched him leave, following him with our eyes until we couldn’t see him anymore. From the moment we dropped him off at the airport, we started waiting; for feedback, for the next call, and for him to come back home in a year. Waiting for those precious moments to be with my dad again was like torture, but there was more to come and we had to continue on.

If you are going to go out of town take someone with you. There is a bond that service members have with each other that cannot be broken, or understood by civilians. When you spend countless hours in Iraq outside the wire with your battle buddies you seem to grow on each other. One day you could hate them and you see them out in a bar and in some trouble with a group of guys that are out for no good. You know that you are not going to come out of it with a victory but the fact that someone messed with your battle buddy and you are not going to stand for that.

Why is accountability important to the Army? Accountability is a very important part of an enlisted and a noncommissioned officer job. The enlisted soldier is responsible for all items issued to him whether it be a weapon, night vision goggles, uniforms, a vehicle, or some TA-50, a field manual, medication, basic initial issue, or

Twelve year’s later I’ve found myself wearing this uniform. In twelve years I’ve aided and assisted thousands of Soldiers at command levels and overseas. I’ve acquired more values and morals as well as attained beneficial skills. I’ve been developing into Soldier, a leader, a problem solver, a postal operator, and a human resource (HR) professional. I also learned the culture of the Army, customs, and time-honored traditions. As an enlisted Soldier I’ve learned my profession. Professions earn the trust

Soldier will make a concentrated effort to become familiar with the members of his/her team.

It was at that precise moment when I knew things were getting serious, and I had to begin using all the knowledge acquired during my years in the military school to be transmitted in such fashion that everybody could understand my message, considering the level of education of each of my men. Notably, the majority of my soldiers lacked basic education, mostly because they were very modest people who came from rural areas of the country, and whose only choice to survive was to join the military to be able to provide for their families. Therefore, my mission was more challenging, as I was obliged to teach with patience and tolerance, I was expected to train each of my warriors in a concise and accurate manner. Several months of training passed and they were prepared for war, and as lieutenant, I was responsible for directing, and leading my platoon in the battlefield, and return them safely to each of their families.

In the Army, it is common knowledge that every Service Member has to be at a certain location, in the proper attire at least ten minutes prior to the stated time put out by their Team leader, Squad leader, Platoon sergeant, or First Sergeant. When a Soldier fails to make it to that appointed place in the allotted time, their short coming contributes to a mission failure and could show early signs of potential lack of career advancement as well as a general regard of contempt toward not just the squad or platoon, but the unit itself. Soldiers who fail to make it to the location that they must be at in the time given can have catastrophic results to the mission, for example:

Now on the fact behind being tactically proficient and standing professional. The U.S military understands the meaning of field work and garrison

I am currently serving as an AIT Platoon Sergeant for a platoon of about 120 soldiers. Communication with these soldiers has by far been the most challenging portion of my position. They really have no experience to guide themselves, so they are really depending on me to get them through their day to day, let alone the soldierization process. I really needed to step back, and evaluate
