The main reason for this essay is because I did not follow out proper orders and was not at the correct place of duty for PT/Accountability formation at the correct time. Although there was a miscommunication, granted on my half, there is still no excuse for me to miss a formation. I want to be an excellent soldier and I want to excel in the military.

If you only ever showed up on time (right when formation is about to start) your leaders would not be able to get proper accountability of their charges, and if someone is missing get them there in time to avoid getting in trouble, and it would make them look like shit bags. Being there early is another way to show loyalty to your leaders.

Duty: it is a soldier's duty to be punctual. A soldier that fails to be punctual on a repetitive basis could be charged with, among other things and the severity of the situation, dereliction
