The Word Duty Means to Me...

• When I am assigned a mission, I accomplish it
  thoroughly, efficiently and quickly. I accept all
  my responsibilities, even when not assigned them.
  Within my field, I hold myself responsible to be
  aware of everything that occurs and to take
  positive action to correct what is wrong or
  improve that which is merely possible. I do my
  job regardless of danger to me personally.

Duty Vignette 1 Sick Call

• You've become pretty good friends with a soldier
  in your platoon. Through numerous conversations
  you've learned that Kerry, who is small in size
  and hasn't done very well in the more physical
  aspects of BCT, joined the Army for the computer
  training he needs to fulfill his dream of
  becoming a computer specialist.

24
Duty Vignette 1 Sick Call

• Because of Kerry's size you and a few of the
  other soldiers in your platoon have helped him
  over some of the rough spots during the past few
  weeks. You've noticed, however, that Kerry seems
  to develop migraine headaches just before the
  more strenuous BCT activities. He has gone on
  sick call during the pugil stick training, the
  confidence obstacle course, and a short foot
  march.

25
Duty Vignette 1 Sick Call

• You've often wondered, and you're pretty sure
  you're not the only one, whether Kerry really has
  migraines or whether he goes on sick call in
  order to avoid physical challenges. Now it's the
  day before the FTX, and Kerry, who does not
  appear to be in any pain, confides in you that a
  migraine will keep him out of the FTX tomorrow.
  This is the first time you have had proof his
  migraines are just an excuse to get out of the
  tough stuff.

Duty Vignette 2 Poor Marksmanship

• Soldier Johnson did great during Phase I of BCT.
  He had been on his high school football team and
  was in great physical condition. And besides, he
  was easy going by nature. When the drill
  sergeant demanded, Drop and give me 50! he just
  smiled, dropped, and did 60 or 70. Just to keep
  the body warmed up, he would say. He seemed a
  natural for the Army.

27
Duty Vignette 2 Poor Marksmanship

• Then came Phase II and BRM (Basic Rifle
  Marksmanship). Johnson did okay during the
  introduction, mechanical operation, and the dry
  fire portions. In fact, he could get a pretty
  good laugh from the group by imitating the drill
  instructor saying . . .This is the M16A2 rifle.
  In his own mind he was already polishing his
  Expert badge.

28
Duty Vignette 2 Poor Marksmanship

• But then the actual firing began, and Johnson
  seemed to fall apart. You were right next to him
  serving as a coach during firing from the prone
  position at 50 meters. Johnsons shooting was so
  bad that he was held back when everyone else on
  the firing cycle was done. The drill instructor
  gave him some individual instruction, and you
  were told to stay with him as part of the next
  firing cycle.

29
Duty Vignette 2 Poor Marksmanship

• It didnt seem to help. He got more and more
  angry at his own poor performance. Finally, he
  just laid down his weapon and yelled out loud.
  The drill instructor was not amused. The drill
  instructor came over and pulled you and Johnson
  off the line. After a few choice words, he left
  the two of you together to cool down while he
  finished working with the current firing cycle.
  Somebody on the line made a snide remark about
  Johnsons poor marksmanship, but was quickly
  silenced by the drill instructor.

30
Duty Vignette 2 Poor Marksmanship

• Johnson, looking you straight in the face, said,
  Im not going to do it any more. Im not going
  to do it. Everybody is already laughing at me.
  Im going to tell the drill sergeant to just
  forget it. And with that he turned away from
  you and sat down.

Duty Vignette 3 Little Big Horn

• On 25 June 1876 at the battle of Little Big Horn,
  after having voluntarily brought water to the
  wounded, during which effort he was shot through
  the head, PVT Peter Thompson, a soldier in
  Company C, 7th U.S. Cavalry, made two more
  successful trips for the same purpose,
  notwithstanding the remonstrances (objections) of
  his sergeant.
