Discipline: United States Army and Soldier
The Importance Of Being disciplined/keeping an appearance In The U.S. Army
The following essay is a compilation of my personal experiences, definitions, and examples of how discipline is important to surviving in today’s U.S. Army. Discipline is increased when one constantly adheres to the standards set by his superiors and maintains not only his bering, but appearance as well. Discipline is: acting in accordance with the rules put in place and behaving in accordance to the rules of conduct as well as maintaing the standard set by superiors (i.e. shaving everyday). Being disciplined in the US Army has got to be of the utmost importance in my opinion. Throughout the past few months I have been dealing with many problems physically and mentally, and I strongly believe that this has, in part, to blame for my lack of discipline and then in lack of standards in my appearance. Even so, this is really no reason at all to slack on any part of being a responsible Specialist. Soldiers must be and act disciplined in every situation they may find themselves in, whether it’s in or out of uniform. Responsibility increases when soldiers believe that they have personal control over their mission performance, performing out of desire to do well instead of just following orders. Discipline and Duty are two of the main factors in being a successful Soldier in today’s U.S. Army. You must be a disciplined soldier if you want to make it through deployment alive. Or even worse, if you fail to be disciplined you could risk someone else’s life or your entire section’s lives in a combat situation. One example of being disciplined (or in this case, having lack of discipline) is the reason why I’m writing this essay in the first place. I have a task to adhere to the regulations on appearance by not shaving (AR 670-1; 1-7 sec A sub sec 2, para C). Now I find myself writing this essay for SSG Dean and SSG Wells as corrective training to kind of compensate by consuming my personal time
