Importance of not being late.
In the following paper I will be discussing what series of actions brought me to write this paper, the army regulations surrounding said actions, the possible effects these actions might have on the accomplishment of the mission, the possible affects on your career, and how to discourage and possibly stop such things from ever happening soon or ever again. The reason I am being subject to this time consuming, uninspired, and rather lackluster writing assignment is because I failed to be at the correct place of duty at the time appointed to me by my superiors.

If this mission would take place some where like I don’t know, lets say Iraq, the soldiers receiving the ammo could be in dire need of it. You making your pulls and pick ups on time can have a great impact on people you have never and may never even meet. If
