Equipment Responsibility in the Us. Army

Event- Oriented: Violation of Article 91 (Insubordinate conduct toward a Non-Commissioned Officer) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, on 13 Sept 2015 at Woodstown Armory, you were disrespectful and deceitful to me, SFC Hinman, your Platoon Sergeant, by providing me with a "Photoshop" medical release form stating you were at the hospital with your grandmother. On the form, you can see that you altered the date to show you were at the hospital today, so that you could be excused from your duties. After you missed the first formation, I made contact with you via text message. You advised at 09:45 you were taking your grandmother home and then reporting to drill, approximately one hour out. At 13:34 hours, I once again made contact with

I served three years in the Army from June 1988 to June 1991 as a Combat Engineer (12B). I then spent over four years experiencing civilian life and college. In March 1995 I reentered the Army with plans to make the Army my career leading to retirement. I served my first eight years in the Army as a Combat Engineer. I discovered a desire for a different career path in 1997 when I was required to reenlist for an assignment to Germany. While in Germany I sought out an additional duty as the Company Reenlistment NCO in a desire to assist Soldiers and NCOs

On my 11th month in Afghanistan, I was seriously injured, resulting in urgent MEDEVAC to Germany; ultimately ending up at Walter Reed for a couple months under Wounded Warrior status.

I have approximately three years remaining in the Army and know, with the extension, I am able and willing

After serving in the military for over five years and attaining the rank of SGT (P), I was sent orders for recruiting. This was not the path I wanted my career to go down, so I opted to decline the orders. Once I had done this I was faced with a decision, what should I do now? I decided I would try to get hired at a local police department. At the time I was stationed in Manhattan, KS and had to choose between Manhattan, Salina, and Topeka. Topeka and Manhattan were testing on the same days and as fate would have it I decided to give Manhattan a try.

“Army and Marines always feel that when we’re out there, we’re not doing it for the flag or the country; we’re doing it for the guy in the next foxhole.” That is – in combat – despite the hierarchical structure and severe punishments for cowardice – there are many opportunities to shirk. The enforcement mechanism – the reason soldiers risk their lives when there is little chance that their superiors will find out – is the enforcement by “the guy in the next foxhole.” In the military

To be dependable means much more than being accountable. Along with showing up to classes, shifts and doing things for others, it means to be worthy of someone’s trust. To be trustworthy is also hard to come by. For others to put their work into your hands and believe you can do it, is something of great faith. This is crucial in the workplace as you work with the people and the environment around

My feeble pleas to the Chain of Command and Post Chaplin turned out to be a blatant delegation of responsibility. In conclusion, I learned a valuable lesson at the cost of another person’s life.

I have had several requests to redeploy in support of the Mission but cannot move forward after 3 years of waiting to hear what the status is of my Security Clearance. If it were up to me, I could and would forgive. I would grant a second chance. There are people that have done far worse than what I’ve done and have suffered less, but I guess that is me looking through forgiving eyes. In the years that I’ve been employed with the Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District, my evaluations speak for me and I hold no malice towards anyone, but fair is fair, and I feel that the district continues to judge

The scenario where based on the values and rights of the stakeholders military values are a part of how we do business and are consider in any decision made. In the right vs. wrong scenario one of the military values is integrity basically doing the right thing when nobody is looking is ingrained in how we make decisions.

I informed my primary job of the situation and was told that they were very proud of me and that they would be proudly anticipating my returned. Furthermore, they assured me that I would still have a job with the company once I made it back home. Fast forwarding, my unit spent several months in Iraq and during the process, I sustained a head injury as well as some other unseen injuries that went undetected for

Whether you are dealing with personnel or equipment, accountability is of supreme importance. It ultimately always leads back to the effectiveness to complete the mission. If the Organizations mission is impeded in any way, it can inadvertently affect the moral, welfare, and even the faith a soldier has in their leadership.
