Ok well there’s allot of reasons why it’s important to be on time not just for the army but allot of other situations in the real world that have curtain effects that could become consequential to you and sometimes to others as well not only that but in some cases even deadly ,a word always comes to mind when talking about being on time and that is punctuality punctuality is the characteristic of being able to complete a required task or fulfill an obligation before or at a previously-designated time. Some cultures have an unspoken understanding that actual deadlines are different from stated deadlines; for example, it may be understood in a particular culture that people will turn up an hour later than advertised. In this case, since everyone understands that a 9am meeting will actually start …show more content…
around 10am, no-one is inconvenienced when everyone turns up at 10am.
It’s the same with the army there is an unspoken understanding that everyone has to be there 10 minutes prior at their destination if some on says to be some were. also In some cultures being late is a huge sine of disrespect ,its like saying there time isn’t valuable like there not important ,but like in some cases everyone knows to be on time for a plane because you know if your late you miss that flight then you would have to wait for the next available flight out (which has happened to me for not planning ahead and not being on time) it’s the same with doctors appointments if you miss the appointment then you’ll have to wait for the person that was on time to get finished with his turn and might make you late for something else such as missing your daughters or sons game or resettle being late can sometimes has a domino effect on your whole day just because you wanted to watch 30 more minutes of that game instead of heading to work. Like Rev.W.fisk once said I give it my deliberate and solemn convictional that the individual who is habitually tardy in meeting an appointment, will never
be respected or successful in life. some people think that it only effects them and that no one else would be effected by their actions of being late to their job or an event it could be something more important such as being late for weeding or being late to a family reunion and those are all signs of disrespect to your family and your friends no one likes someone that’s always late because you can’t trust them no one wants to trust them because they now they don’t know how to manage their life . not managing time is one of the main reasons why people are late if you don’t have an idea of how long it’s going to take you to get your clothes on or drive your car to work your going to be in trouble also if you don’t schedule your day right you’ll be wasting more time thinking about what to do next then you won’t have any off time and that sucks ,some other things that can help out with you being on time are putting your alarm clock a few hours ahead just to make sure you have enough time to do what you need to do also you can have a notebook with you in case you forget when you have a formation or meeting that day also its good to have a plan before you leave the house just in case something happens you have someone to call in case you can’t get to a meeting so you don’t have people waiting on you and you don’t make you or the company look bad.im in the army and being on time is one of the most important things to do for multiple reasons such as in the morning most companies have accountability in case something needs to be put-out for the solders, morning PT and accountability .if you come late it’s a sign of disrespect to your NCO and the company or however is having the formation, and then you’ll get counseled and in some cases not just you but the company will have to come in early just because you wanted to sleep in a little longer ,now more people might be late because they have to work around a new time schedule. No one’s perfect sometimes people forget to set their alarms or turn their alarms off or not get enough sleep from partying all night , but as soon as you start coming to work late constantly that’s when it becomes a problem ,that just means ether you don’t care about coming in or you just don’t have enough motivation to come in. you have to be considerate of others you can’t always think that your actions are only going to hurt yourself when it comes down to it you’re the reason why you were late throwing the blame on something Isn’t the right answer all you can do is take responsibility for your actions and move on ,ow and try not to be late anymore.
