3 General Orders
Three General Orders
On June 21, 2011 Spc Brown and I were on CQ duty. 1SG, the SDO and the Platoon Sergeants conducted a walkthrough of the unit’s footprint. When they entered I was laid back at the desk watching a movie, on my phone and had my boots on the desk. I did not immediately stand up or yell “AT EASE” when she entered or exited the building. She also noticed that I wasn’t writing the log down correct and didn’t log Spc Brown out when he left for dinner chow. 1SG asked if I had read the memorandum and my 3 General Orders. I quickly responded “Negative 1Sg I do not.” Upon them leaving once again I didn’t render the proper “AT EASE” when she left the building. I was then order to study my General Orders and 1SG might stop by before pt that next morning. Upon that she asked me if I understood and acknowledges that I will come to her office either before or after Road Guard Duty and recite them back to her. After Road Guard Duty I went inside to use the bathroom and left to go take the supplies back to Regiment. The 3 General Orders are important and this essay will explain why. The 3 General Orders are set guild lines/rules since Basic Training to teach Soldiers how to take charge of their duties and conduct them in a military manner. They were first drilled into Soldiers starting day 1 of Basic Training and expected to know on command whenever asked by Drill Sergeants, Noncommissioned Officers and/or Commanding officers. These orders are influential to many service members around the world to keep order and discipline among not just the Army but to other United States Armed Forces that serve alongside us. Failure to follow duty can result in various punitive actions against the service member. An Article 92 is failure to obey order or regulations. Article 92 is neglecting their performance of his/her duties and will be punished as a court-martial may direct. Many actions can be taken against the service member for disobeying a lawful from a commanding

    A few days ago, I SPC Ensley, was caught lying to SGT Henshaw about, my whereabouts, why I did not contact him before, or when I was leaving, and as well as my reason for hiding that information in the first place. I should not have attempted to withhold that information, and give out false information on where I was, and why I, SPC Ensley, wasn't honest about it when SGT Henshaw asked in the first place. I had no reason to lie, nor did I show any hint of any of the army values that an enlisted military personnel who is a non commissioned officer in training would normally portray to younger, more impressionable soldiers in our unit.…

    On , I was told that my hair was close to being out of standard IAW AR 670-1. I was told that I needed to get a haircut that day by and . I acknowledged both of them and told them both that I would get one that night. Later that day, after work, I called the lady who cuts my hair and she told me that she could get me in the following day. Knowing that I was told that I needed a haircut on that day, I disregarded a lawful order from a senior Noncommissioned Officer. That is in direct violation of Article 92 – Failure to obey order or regulation of the Manual for Courts Martial (MCM). That behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in the US Army. Doing stuff like that makes leaders lose trust in their soldiers to accomplish missions.…

    There are many reasons why a soldier, (doesn't matter the rank) should obey orders from anyone above him or her in the chain of command. Sometimes its good to listen to people soldiers below you too because they maybe smarter at the task then you are. One reason is that the military is revolved around higher ranking soldiers leading the lower ranking soldiers, they’re more experienced in the military then I am and been deployed more than i have. If everyone in the military just did their own thing then we wouldn't be a successful army and then our country wouldn't be as strong as it is. Every higher up gives an order for a reason, we may not like the reason but in the end most of the orders and decisions will be smart ones i guarantee. We were taught as children to obey our higher-ups. Starting from our parents, teachers, managers, police officers and etc… So how does this relate to the military? Well, when a person enlists in the United States Military, active duty or reserve, they take the following oath, “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.” Right there you are making a promise to the United States Military. Before you or I even put on the uniform, you promise you’ll obey the orders of the President and the orders of the officers appointed over you. Military discipline and effectiveness is built on the foundation of obedience to orders. Brand new privates are taught to obey, immediately and without question, orders from their superiors, right from day one of boot camp. Almost every soldier can tell you that obedience was drilled into their…

    In this essay I will give the explanation and punishments of Article 86 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Article 86 – Absence without leave is described as “any member of the armed force who, without authority – fails to go to his/her appointed place of duty at the prescribed time, goes from that place; or absents themselves or remains absent from their unit, organization, or place of duty at which he/she is required to be at the time prescribed; shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.” The first element in the description, “failure to go to appointed place of duty” is what you may also refer to as “out of ranks”. It means you had a certain time and place of duty. You must have known what your time and place of duty was. And that you, without authorization, failed to be at the appointed place of duty at the time prescribed. The next element is “going from your appointed place of duty”. This is simply arriving at your place of duty and then leaving without authorization. The third element, “absence from unit, organization, or place of duty”, is a mixture of elements one and two. Although I have not found any information on the minimum punishments, I do have a list of the maximum punishments.…

    Following Orders

    • 881 Words
    • 4 Pages

    When one enlists in the united states military, they take the following oath I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. When one takes that oath they sear to do whatever they are told regardless of how stupid they think the order is. Following orders is essential to the proper operation of :the machine” or aka the military. Orders are called orders because that’s what they are, orders. They are not some type of suggestion. If you were in heat of battle and someone higher up said stock up the ammo and you dissregarded it and the next thing you know you are shooting, run out of ammo, and you are dead. Orders saves live. There is no time for second thoughts or suggest other options. Soldiers learnhow to follow orders and carry them out in basic training. Drill sergeants scare trainees so they get ito the mentatility of following orsders and to become the best soldier they can. When I was in training we had to carry drinks a certain way or get smoked. Its all about following orders. If one doesn’t follow orders they get counseled and eventually if they don’t listen, they’ll get punished under either Atricle 90, 91 or 92. Article 90 states any person subject to this chapter who willingly disboeys a lawyful command of his superior commissioned officer shall be punsiehd if they offense is commited in time of war by death or such other punishment as a court martial may direct and if the offense is commited at any other time, by such punishments other than dearth, as a court martial may direct. Article 91 states any warrant officer or enlisted member who willingly disobeys the lawful order of a warrant officer, non commissioned officer…

    Core Army Values

    • 364 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Of the core values represented in the seven Core Army Values, respect is the one that I think is of the utmost importance, in that embodied in that one value is the formula for success in all the others. It is defined as treating others as we with to be treated - to treat others "with dignity and respect while expecting others to do the same." It's that quality that allows us to exceed our greatest expectations; to function cohesively as a unit for all its diversity - all its different creeds and races, genders and religions - respect is the glue that holds our military institution together in times of war and of peace: at home and abroad. In foreign lands, it's the tie that binds us against a common foe; and domestically, it's the root of the idealism at work at the foundation of our country and its continued greatness in the world. We can only do as much good as respect allows us to do. We respect one another, and we respect the people that we serve, and we respect the foes that we combat in the name of freedom. Respect, for me, is a vital piece of the puzzle for a working soldier. It is for that reason that I so sincerely wish to extend my apologies for disrespecting my Staff Sergeant during Army Specialist Training and to articulate in this written apology all that I understand of Respect and the ways in which disrespecting my mentor and superior officer demeans me, my service, and ultimately my army and the country that I love. I am ashamed that I did not uphold this key core value because I do understand the degree to which it bolsters the integrity of our institution while making possible all of the things that it does at home and abroad. I'm mortified by my actions as well because as this…
