Why Being Late Is Important

One other responsibility for to show up on time is so that Information can be passed to me through my 1st line, If I’m not on time than I fall my soldier for the task at hand for that day or for future events the week or month. It’s important that I learn from my mistakes and get better every day so that don’t fail my leadership and the company goals. As a NCO I understand what’s upheld to

Being on time shows accountability. Every military unit has to be held accountable for each individual soldier on duty. You never know if it’s going to be a ordinary training day, or if something happens that will require immediate response. Most often, if not from the normal schedule, we may have to be prepared

In the following paper I will be discussing what series of actions brought me to write this paper, the army regulations surrounding said actions, the possible effects these actions might have on the accomplishment of the mission, the possible affects on your career, and how to discourage and possibly stop such things from ever happening soon or ever again. The reason I am being subject to this time consuming, uninspired, and rather lackluster writing assignment is because I failed to be at the correct place of duty at the time appointed to me by my superiors. The day before we had a relatively late work call and I adjustment my alarm clock to reflect the change and give myself ample time to get myself ready

It is important to be on time, both in the Army and in the civilian sector, for multiple reasons. Among these reasons, the ones that stand out to me the most are unprofessionalism, being fired, receiving adverse disciplinary actions, and failing your co-workers/comrades.   Being late or tardy to work can cause not only yourself but everyone at your place of employment problems.

Deadlines are particularly important to meet when you are a leader of soldiers. Deadlines keep your mind focused on what you need to do and by when. Everything done in the military is based on time and deadlines. Whether is time to eat or get ready for a mission or even just a simple exercise. Reason for this is because setting everything up in a timely manner which helps keep everything organized; meet deadlines, and increase maximum productivity. Time is something that you can’t get back once it’s lost so it’s best to manage your time as much as possible. Each day the in the military in constructed around a time schedule, from the beginning of the day till the end at COB. First of all the military is all about being organized, using time management is the best way to stay completely organized and prioritize task. This way when you have tasked that need to be done you set when they have to be done at a certain time, by who and get it done at that time. This way people aren’t trying to this or try to do that all at the same time, and nothing will ever get done at that designated time with the work divided. With time management you set task #1, task #2, task #3 etc. in a timely manner to ensure each task gets done on time. This also helps keep everything and everyone looking professional as possible and maintain order. The military is all about looking professional and staying well

may have avoided an ambush.   It sounds extreme but time management plays a critical role in the Army.  When you make an appointment, that spot has been reserved for you. That means if you have been given the last slot someone else is going to have to wait for another one to open up. This could be one day or one month. And because you missed it someone else is still going to have to wait when they could have had that spot and been there. If you are going to miss the appointment or cannot make it due to mission or other circumstances they do allow us to cancel the appointment with in twenty four hours. The Army allows us to make appointments for whatever we need. Be it for a medical appointment, house goods, CIF, Smoking Sensation or whatever we need these recourses are available to us. But when Soldiers start missing appointments these systems start to become inefficient. Soldiers do not realize is that when they miss an appointment it does not just affect them; it affects the entire chain of command from the Squad Leader all the way to the First Sergeant. When a Soldier misses an appointment the squad leader must answer for the Soldier, the Squad leader must answer to the platoon Sgt., the Platoon Sgt. Must answer to the First Sergeant., and the First Sergeant must answer to the Battalion Sergeant Major. I don’t this to ever happen again, lesson

The United States Army has a long, and storied history in regards to its past, present, and future Soldiers. The Army has fought battles in every corner of the world. They have entered almost every major military engagement in our world history. We have saved the day. We have lost the day. Best of all we have learned from our experiences, our triumphs, and our failures and become a force to be reckoned with when put into action. Whether it is the infantry Soldier that is running into the face of danger, or the supply specialist supporting the unit with uniforms, weapons, and ammunition, or the “lowly” human resources noncommissioned officer ensuring that the service member’s family is paid survivors benefits by preparing the Soldier with their necessary paperwork beforehand.

Scheduling the work day is one of the most important duties any leader in the Army or the Armed Forces for that matter, tackle each and every day. Being at the right place at the right time for any member of the Armed forces is extremely essential to the defense of the entire United States of America. It's because of this that being on time is remarkably important. Dependability, accountability, consistency and discipline are all crucially related to being on time. Furthermore, promptness also shows that the individual Soldier aims high and has their priorities straight. However, being where one

03/18/2016 & 03/21/2016- The patient arrived to the clinic late due to transportation. This writer encouraged the patient to do his best arrived on time moving forward as he will put himself at risk for a relapse.

This was a dilemma for the soldier, counselor as well as the command. Some counselors allow the soldier to be late for no more than 10 minutes, if the soldier or command called about being late for their appointment. In some cases, this is a boundary crossing that benefited the soldier/client, as long as every soldier is treated the same way. Fortunately, certain boundary issues were addressed during the enrollment process of the soldier to the program.

First, one person cannot do the job alone. Because of your absence, another soldier had to put on duty which cause the soldier to have to change any plans he had for the weekend.

We have appointment times, SP times, formation times and many other start times that dictate we will be there. If a Convoy has an SP time of fifteen hundred hours and the Soldiers decide to show up late because they did not feel like getting ready on time people could die. If they rolled out on time, they may have avoided the ambush or avoided the Vbid that hit them in the bottleneck. It sounds extreme but time management plays a critical role in the Army.

Continue to do a good job and remember to always be in the right place at the right time and in the right uniform. In any situation you can’t make it to the formation on time, notify me so that I can better explain it to the Chain of Command. The best practice is to always be ten minutes prior to any formation in order to give you more leeway. Remember that if the flag goes off and you are not present, you may be counseled for being late/missing formation.

It is always important to be where you are supposed to be. In the Army, every leader stresses the fact on being on time or being at the right place or being in the right uniform. So if you have to ask yourself is it important to be where you are told to be? I think most Soldiers and Leaders will tell you that is very important. It is my responsibility to be where I am supposed to. It is all about accountability. You have to keep track of your Soldiers. It is your responsibility and your leader's responsibility. They are responsible for your actions as well you. In the articles of military justice a Soldier can be charged with Article 86 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. 886, makes it a crime to fail to go

A soldier is considered as the 'man of the moment'. It is because, the military organizations treat timeliness with extreme importance. It orients all courses of their activities and their success depends on the quality of that orientation. Therefore constant researches go on in every military organization to raise the understanding of timeliness among its members, many schemes are being formulated to improve the scope of doing more in little time, or doing something exactly on time, add to that the relentless practice of forming the habit of being on time. No wonder then, why the military personnel is regarded
