In today's army, being on time can be a paramount activity. Consequences for not showing up on time can be disasterous.

One of the first things I learned upon entering the proud United States Army was to be at the right place, at the right time, in the right uniform, with the right attitude. No Soldier can go wrong as long as they stick to those guidelines. That said, there are Soldiers that do happen to slip up and find that they are not at the right place at the right time. Those people are most commonly known as ‘’no shows”. What do I mean by “no shows”? “No shows” are the Soldiers that fail to show up at their "place of duty" at the time they were designated to be there.…

When I am late it makes everyone else run behind which then makes all the soldiers eat late and have to wait. And food is a very vital part of the army. The soldiers need their fuel in order better perform at their duty. Not to mention that when everything is running behind and then we all have to end up staying later than we would have had to in the first place. It makes the whole day very hectic and then people get irratated easy. It would make things run much smoother if everyone was on time all the time.…

No wonder then, why the military personnel is regarded as the epitome of timeliness. The magnitude of the importance of timeliness in military may be felt by the civilians occasionally through the examples like when militaries act within a fraction of time to save the lives of the millions or when they save the civilization from any other disaster by a whisker. But then, those ideas are too little to delve in the realm of painstaking process through which the militaries attain a high state of alacrity and coordination of the body and mind. Those qualities are built through the extensive curriculum based on timeliness. That is why, Military organizations regard timeliness as the main key to their functioning, the prime governing element in their every level of existence.

This essay explores into that inside story which explains why timeliness is everything in military organizations.…

One truth, is that in military service, it is always important to be on time and at the right place, and never late. Different organizations have different definitions of ‘on time’. Prior to coming to Bravo three-thirteen, my last unit was happy with everyone being five minutes early to any formation. It took me a while to adjust to Bravo three-thirteen, because at Fort Sill they defined being exactly ten minutes early as late. Since the unit deployed to Camp Bucca, Iraq, the unit as a whole has been at times a lot more easy going, most of the time. I remember once, I was running behind due to not being able to find my car keys or identification card or something, and wound up arriving about one minute before the formation was called. My section chief at the time was angry at me and my platoon sergeant was embarrassed because he had been thinking I was going to miss formation and the First Sergeant knew not everybody was in ranks at the time. I have almost always strived to make my immediate superiors look good, whenever it has been possible and felt badly for letting them down that time.…
