Flowing orders in today’s ARMY is key to making it last. When orders are not followed it leads to chaos and undisciplined soldiers, the lack of following orders only shows to the outside world that the ARMY as a whole cannot operate as one.

In order to be successful in any career one must be able to listen and take to heart the importance of what they are learning and doing throughout their lives; this has significance in both the military and civilian life. In order to do that you must follow whatever your superiors say, like when you are at your civilian job and your boss tells you to clean the bathroom. You have to be able to just do what you’re told so the job gets done, and you are also seen as a trustworthy employee. On the military side, it is self discipline. When an Non commissioned officer tells you to get something done there should be absolutely no argument or thought about it. The soldier has an easy job; A. Listen to what he is told, B. Be at the right place at the right time in the right uniform. It is important to do so so the mission goes as planned.…

The leadership model in ADRP 6-22 (2012) shows that military and professional bearing, fitness, confidence, and resilience affect one’s presence (p. 1-5). Throughout Benavidez’s life, he created a presence that is still seen and felt today. During a speech given in 1991, long after his retirement, Benavidez showed his military and personal bearing. Benavidez said, “It makes me feel great when I put my uniform on. That’s the best piece of clothing I have ever owned. And hey I wear it all the time, I don’t care what other people think. They think I don’t have civilian clothes. I don’t care. It is great to be in uniform. . . And I get a haircut every Friday” (Losch & Kingsbury, 2017). Benavidez demonstrated his fitness, confidence, and resilience during his recovery from his first wound in Vietnam. In 1965, Benavidez stepped on a mine, which paralyzed him from the waist down (Benavidez, 1991, para. 7). Against his doctors’ wishes, Benavidez would “slip out of bed and crawl to a wall using my elbows and chin. My back would just be killing me and I’d be crying, but I get to the wall and I’d stand there like Kaw-Liga, the Indian. I’d stand and move my toes, right and left every single chance I got” (Benavidez, 1991, para. 7). Nine months later, Benavidez limped out of the hospital on his own (Benavidez, 1991, para. 9). Benavidez’s drive to walk again…
The willingness to place yourself in harm’s way is a selfless act that is unknown to the commoner, but is gallantly accepted by the brave men and women that serve in the armed forces, which make this country free. A great leader also possesses core values, centered on morals and ethics; some instilled by the military, but most from the inner most character that makes a man who he “is”. The heavy-laden leaders in combat face is inconceivable, unless you have experienced that situation first hand. The split-second decisions made in combat ultimately decide the fate of their men and local nationals, whether hostile or not. Mental agility is a critical part of a leader’s repertoire; a leader’s judgments during combat sway the outcome of every situation. One mission in particular, “Operation Red Wing”, occurred on June 28, 2005; three brave men, led by Lt. Mike Murphy, ascended…

To be an effective soldier in the Civil War, a man needed to know much more than how to drill on the parade ground and how to fire his musket. It was mostly the hard school of experience that turned a green recruit fresh from his country home into a lean, weatherbeaten soldier who was able to march all night and fight all day on scant rations. Many volunteers did not survive long enough to make the transition. Adaptation to army discipline and regimentation was one of the first trials of the new soldier. The idea of showing respect to and obeying the orders of a higher-ranking soldier irrespective of that person's prewar social standing, family, or wealth required a major psychological adjustment for many men.…
Having a military mindset means, you will immediately look for cover and concealment whether you need it right away or not. You look for avenues of approach and escape, in your mind's eye you establish fields of fire, and calculate distances from the front door to the end of the driveway, end of the street or to ht big oak tree in the middle of the field. You look for sniper nests that can be used by you or by your adversaries. This is basic training for all military personnel and everything is filed away in the back of your mind. It's so natural you don't think about it, but the information is there when you need…
2)Military posture: most people believe it is a perfect posture, but it is not ideal for these reasons. The centre of gravity has shifted slightly pushing the pelvis anteriorly and up, drawing the shoulders back, which draws the scapula back medially pushing the chest out and up, this causes the person to walk flatfooted.

From the thousand yard stare to a well kept hair cut, military bearing is prevalent in every facet of military life, though military bearing is much deeper than just appearances; it is the cornerstone of any military career. Military bearing encompasses every facet of life in the military and can be applied to any situation. Military bearing itself is gleaned from several places such as, the articles of the UCMJ, The eleven general orders of a sentry, as well as our own Sailors Creed. From these guidelines one can learn to conduct oneself on a daily basis, on and off duty. To fully understand military bearing in its entirety, one needs to examine the building blocks of military bearing; the Navy Core Values.…
Respect is not only shown verbally, but also by one’s behaviors and actions. For example, if someone (be it a soldier or not) you respect asks you to do something—you should show him or her the respect they are asking for and do what they say. Don’t argue, just do it. In the Army this often comes into play on a daily basis. If someone you respect asks you to do something, you should do it immediately and without hesitation. You should do it quickly. For instance, if someone asks you to go knock out twenty-five pushups, mountain-climbers, dips, pull-ups, crab walks, bear crawls, or another exercise, you should immediately show them the respect and do it. Do it fast and do not complain. Do not question them, do not ask for further explanation, and do not do anything other then what they ask. That might give them the impression that you do not respect them. If you perform the duty they ask, It will help show them you respect them and their word or authority. When someone has the feeling that you are respecting him or her, than they will behave…
The military will put the individual through rough and strenuous physical activity. They turn the individual into a lean specimen; by doing this it would decrease the obesity of today’s society. By decreasing obesity it decreases all the medical conditions and issues that obesity causes, resulting in a healthier America.

With the extreme training they receive dealing with how to react in a fast and effective manner, the individual’s mental ability…
Sensitive items are those items which are attractive for personnel use, attraction to the wrong kind of people who like to steal sensitive items, (for example weapons, Military Identification Cards, Thumb Drives, and military equipment), and the equipment can be very hazardous. Therefore, it requires a greater degree of control and accountability. If a military personnel were to lose accountability of a military weapon, that weapon could make it’s way over to the enemies hands on where they can duplicate and get ideas on how the our weapons are made and make even better ones. With Thumb Drives there can be top secret information about the military, for example, dates of deployments, how many personnel is in a platoon, and etc. Not securing and keeping accountability of sensitive items can acquire the risk of loss by being intercepted by unauthorized persons.…
