Today, we use a common standard of time in our day-to-day lives. Sixty minutes in an hour, twenty-four hours in a day, three hundred sixty-five days in a solar year; but time has always been used to measure and record important events. This has never been more evident as it has been in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In this era of human history, punctuality is one of the key elements of our workforce, and particularly in the military.…
Military discipline and effectiveness is built on the foundation of obedience to orders. Recruits are taught to obey, immediately and without question, orders from their superiors, right from day-one of boot camp.

I am writing this essay as a plan of action because I managed to miss a scheduled appointment. Missing a scheduled appointment may seem like a rather miniature infraction, but if you think about it and trace it back far enough it has a negative impact on all parties involved in it. Missing an appointment shows a lack of accountability on my part, effects the army as a whole; as well, it costs the Army money for another who may have needed that appointment. Service members are held to higher standards than civilians are. We protect our country and being a Soldier I am supposed to lead by example and I cannot lead if I cannot even show up for any of my appointments on time.…
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 66.2 percent of the high school graduates last year went on to higher education (U.S. Dept. of Labor). When these students graduate from college they have, on average, about $27,000 in student loan debt (Walia). It is expected that there will be 1.8 million undergraduates graduating this fall (Fast Facts). Their debt will be added to the 1 trillion dollar student loan debt that already exists. This total for student loan debt is more than that of all auto loans and all credit card loans (Liang 23). Currently 1 in 5 households in the United States has student loan debt. Half of all student loans are in default and are currently not being paid for (Walia). The problem will only continue to worsen if steps are not taken to stop it. Some may think that this issue does not concern them, but it will have a critical effect on our entire economy. Consider the thought that, because all of these people have so much debt to pay off they have to wait to get married, buy a house or a car (Laing 24). There are many ideas of how we should resolve this problem. It has been suggested that when students graduate they should pay 5% of their total income for 25 years and whatever is not paid after that is automatically forgiven (Schlesinger). Others believe that the real problem is the private loans because they are usually not as willing to help students when they are having financial problems (Bernard 6). Yet another group of people say that just lowering the cost of tuition would take care of the problem. Mark Kantrowitz wrote that the government should invest more into higher education with grants to make college more affordable for students so that they don’t have to take out so many loans. Others have proposed that government, which provides (99%? site) of the student loans, establish a policy that grants loans based on the academic major (Walia). Along with this, it is also suggested that we…
Being accountable means being responsible and dependable to arriving to work and appointments on time, and meeting all deadlines. It also means being in the right place at the right time and doing the right things at the right time. Morning formation, the one that I was not accounted for is the most important formation of the day. It was created to get the accountability of everyone and to put out any information that needs to be dealt with for that day. If we weren't all accounted for there is no knowing of where everyone is or what's going on. As a result of any soldier that shows up late, does not call in, or make anything know to their Non Commissioned Officer, they could be pending Uniform Code of Military Justice action under article 15.…
Punctuality is a very important thing in life. Getting to work on time when you are supposed to, is punctuality. Showing up for a meeting on time is punctuality. Showing up for an appointment on time is punctuality. It is very important to make it on time for work, meetings, formations (ten minutes prior), and appointments. Appointments in this case, are very important to make it to on time. It is best to show up for appointments early. If you leave home early to get to your appointment, it is much less likely you will be held up and become late by traffic or any accidents you may come upon as you drive to your appointment. Missing appointments lets several people down. There are people expecting to see you, you are letting them down. There are people that need to be seen by the people you made an appointment with, you are letting them down by taking up valuable time from a dentist, doctor, optometrist, etc. when they could be there instead of you and having things they need taken care of. In the military, not showing up for an appointment is also letting down your squad leader, your unit, and the whole military organization. It can cost the Army a lot of money to schedule an appointment for you and then have you not show up for it. By missing an appointment, you also show that you lack discipline and responsibility. It does not look good to your leaders and makes it seem like you can not be trusted with simple tasks. Punctuality is a big part of impression and it is very important to make a good impression. When you lack punctuality, it sets a bad example to others, friends, family, as well as other soldiers. If you were not taught in civilian life or learned through having a job, in basic combat training in the military you are certainly taught to show up early and be on time for formations and that should carry over to other aspects of your life, such as appointments. Missing appointments takes away from everyone's very valuable time. There is not excuse for…

A soldier should be at right place and right time as soldier. There are many reasons why myself and other soldiers to include jr and senior should be at your place of duty at the right time as a soldier.

NCO’s tells you that you need to be at a location, on time; therefore you need to be there. Our NCO’s are only trying to help us. NCO’s want what is best for their soldier’s.
