Mass Punishment
Two males allegedly slacked by not checking the duty roster for this evening and were extremely late. As a result the sergeant on duty decided to punish all of the males in the company instead of the two males that were FTR (failure to report). So now the males were broken into groups that must serve duty every two hours from 2000 to 0800.
Now the part I am taking issue with is the lateness of when the duty roster was posted, and the fact that we all must "pay for the sins" of two males.
Yeah, yeah I get that it's the Army blah blah blah, and it builds character. Whatever! But I fail to understand the double standard that is plainly seen here: The duty roster was posted late, and formation for bedcheck was announced allegedly on a whim. So all the males should pay for...??? I'm not tracking.
Maybe my information on this matter is off, but from what I gathered from the situation as it unfolded in front of me is what I've stated above.
Somewhere, somehow, some way, someone didn't exercise one of the 7 Army Values: Integrity.
Anybody tracking this?
