    The Importance of punctuality and responsibility.

    There are many aspects of being a soldier, a soldier must have certain attributes and skill to maintain an everyday army lifestyle. They must not be lacking in any one of the attributes required. Punctuality and responsibility are among two of the most important attributes any one soldier must have. Punctuality is the ability to be at the right place in the right time in the right uniform. On any one day in the United States Army a soldier will be required to be at a certain place at a certain time in a certain uniform several times each day. The first example would be PT formation. Every day at PT formation prior to conducting PRT several important things happen. First of all, all soldiers are accounted for. This is important to make sure that all the soldiers are accounted for by the platoon sergeant and they are in good health and still alive. Second the platoon sergeant will often have important or useful information to the soldier. Third the first sergeant holds formation, making sure he has accountability of all of his soldiers and puts out any information that he may have. Last but not least the soldiers will conduct PRT. Being late and missing any of these events can have negative effects on the soldier other than just disciplinary action. If the soldier is not at formation in time, the platoon sergeant does not know where the soldier might be or in what condition that soldier might be in, for all they know the soldier could have gotten arrested the night before or worse. This in turn will cause an NCO to have to go to the barracks to look for the soldier, taking them away from the formation and any other business that may need to be handled by that NCO. Then the soldier will miss important information that needs to be put out by the platoon sergeant and mistakes on the soldiers part may be made due to the fact that he simply did not know. If the platoon sergeant has still not gotten ahold of the soldier by the time first sergeant holds formation, the…
