Military Appointments
Appointment Importance

Scheduling and keeping appointments go hand-in-hand with one another. If someone were to miss an appointment accidentally, intentionally, emergency, or otherwise, said person(s) would cause someone else whom also needed an appointment on the same day for the same thing however unlikely. In the Twenty-Fifth Combat Aviation Brigade, if a soldier were to miss an appointment due to non-emergency circumstances a soldier will be marked as a no show, and the soldiers chain of command will be notified. The standard operational procedure varies for each unit. For some a first offence is an article fifteen. For others if you are to miss an appointment, as long as a soldier is able to reschedule the missed appointment he/she will receive no reprimand for the accidental or emergency missin I an appointment.
One could say that you are being threaded like a child making sure that your leadership holds your hand and belittles you as not being a grown adult who can manage their own problems. Negative counseling or assaigned essay writing for instance is a form of punative action against a soldier that missed an appointment, due to the fact that he was working through lunch and forgot all about the appointment. In this case the grown up thing to do would be to call the place of appointment. Then ask if you can reschedule for the same day to hopefully abound a no show. Next they will tell the soldier that the building is so busy same day appointments just won't be possible. The only way for a soldier to get out of a no show is to have an emergency circumstance. When a soldier of the Twenty-Fifth Combat Aviation Brigade misses an undetermined amount of appointments in Delta Troop Two-Six CAV, that soldier will have paperwork pushed for an article 15, possible loss in pay, 45 days extra duty, and in some circumstances removed from the Army. These are things to avoid. Always answers the phone in the military. Always set alarms and reminders

    On , I was told that my hair was close to being out of standard IAW AR 670-1. I was told that I needed to get a haircut that day by and . I acknowledged both of them and told them both that I would get one that night. Later that day, after work, I called the lady who cuts my hair and she told me that she could get me in the following day. Knowing that I was told that I needed a haircut on that day, I disregarded a lawful order from a senior Noncommissioned Officer. That is in direct violation of Article 92 – Failure to obey order or regulation of the Manual for Courts Martial (MCM). That behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in the US Army. Doing stuff like that makes leaders lose trust in their soldiers to accomplish missions.…

    Article Eighty-six of the Uniform Code of Military Justice makes it a crime to fail to go to one's appointed place of duty at the time prescribed, to leave one's place of duty, or to be absent from one's unit without authority. Article Eighty-six or Absent Without Leave, states verbatim “Any member of the armed forces who without authority fails to go to his appointed place of duty at the time prescribed; goes from that place; or absents himself or remains absent from his unit, organization, or place of duty at which he is required to be at the time prescribed; shall be punished by court-martial may direct.” Being a certain member appointed for a specific duty at a specific time and place and not showing up or showing up late, whilst knowing of the appointed duty. And without proper authority skipping or showing up late. It is always important to be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. Even more so in the Marine Corps. Punishment for violating Article Eighty-six of the UCMJ is left to the discretion of the member's direct chain of command. Whether that be an NCO, Staff NCO, or Officer. The first violation is typically a verbal or written counseling, second a written counseling along with a specific form of deterrence such as: reporting in to the duty NCO every four hours through out the day, even in the members off time. Third violation will usually result in a much harsher punishment such as a Page Eleven, Sixty-one Zero-five, or Nonjudicial Punishment, Court-Martial, and Administrative separation from the service. If taken to Nonjudicial Punishment member could end up losing rank, pay, and be confined to restriction. It is all about accountability. Though normally accountability is an individual responsibility it may become a unit responsibility or the responsibility of a superior to ensure you are where you are supposed to be at the appointed time. Not only will punitive action be taken but your peers will be affected as well. Some may…

    A military member has violated Article 87 if he/she is ordered to be on a ship or an aircraft, or deploy with a unit on a certain date and time, and then fails to show up. It doesn't matter if the member failed to show up through intention or because of neglect, but it is required that the member knew about the movement. A viable defense would be that the member missed the movement through physical inability (as long as that physical inability wasn't a result of misconduct or neglect). The possible punishment is more severe if the member missed the movement on purpose. It's not uncommon for Missing Movement to be charged in conjunction with AWOL or Desertion, depending on the circumstances.…

    If a soldier is late for a formation he is in violation of Article 86 of the UCMJ, Failure to Report to Appointed Place of Duty. The supervisor must then counsel his soldier and attempt to correct this behavior. The supervisor has a lot of latitude to decide how to punish this soldier. He can make the soldier report 30 minutes prior to the first formation for the day for five consecutive days. This would typically have him reporting at 0600 hours rather than 0630 hours. He could have him report to the Staff Duty NCO every 4 hours through the night for a specified number of days. This would take away the soldier 's time creating an unpleasent situation for that soldier.…

    Punctuality is a very important thing in life. Getting to work on time when you are supposed to, is punctuality. Showing up for a meeting on time is punctuality. Showing up for an appointment on time is punctuality. It is very important to make it on time for work, meetings, formations (ten minutes prior), and appointments. Appointments in this case, are very important to make it to on time. It is best to show up for appointments early. If you leave home early to get to your appointment, it is much less likely you will be held up and become late by traffic or any accidents you may come upon as you drive to your appointment. Missing appointments lets several people down. There are people expecting to see you, you are letting them down. There are people that need to be seen by the people you made an appointment with, you are letting them down by taking up valuable time from a dentist, doctor, optometrist, etc. when they could be there instead of you and having things they need taken care of. In the military, not showing up for an appointment is also letting down your squad leader, your unit, and the whole military organization. It can cost the Army a lot of money to schedule an appointment for you and then have you not show up for it. By missing an appointment, you also show that you lack discipline and responsibility. It does not look good to your leaders and makes it seem like you can not be trusted with simple tasks. Punctuality is a big part of impression and it is very important to make a good impression. When you lack punctuality, it sets a bad example to others, friends, family, as well as other soldiers. If you were not taught in civilian life or learned through having a job, in basic combat training in the military you are certainly taught to show up early and be on time for formations and that should carry over to other aspects of your life, such as appointments.
