In addition to these, confidence and posture shows everyone who you are and what you want other people wants to perceive you as. A commanding voice is also key. Standing up straight, walking with a purpose, and speaking in a loud, clear and concise manner when dessiminating orders from the chain of command will catch your subordinate’s attention and will be regarded as of high importance if this is how you project it to be and how you want your message to be relayed as. Chances are with a good commanding voice, you will not have to repeat yourself and orders will be followed with no problems and questions which brings you the ultimate goal of accomplishing a mission with ease. You may have and wear a rank that should be respected and looked up to but without any military bearing, you will have nothing to show for it. Ultimately, military bearing is a key essential in a soldier’s life, not only because this is what the army wants you to act but also because these is the way to tell other soldiers who you are and where you stand in the code and law of the United States Army. Military discipline is one of the biggest pride of the United States Army soldiers. It is a learned skill that civilians differ from soldiers. This ability, just like little kids in pre-school, is taught in basic training as civilians are transformed into soldiers. As a soldiers progresses through his military career, his military discipline is thought to be solidly carved and polished into his being, not only because he is a soldier but because this is who he is. Minute details on everything that he does, refining and the endless search for perfection on daily tasks and duties, obedience on following orders, taking initiative on self-improvement are some examples of military discipline. I remember countless times when I have been subjected to physical punishment because I have not done a task according to its minute details, and I have learned that through punishment, individuals learn to perfect and accomplish goals more easily. It teaches you and will surely make you not forget and what you are supposed to be doing and what should have been done if mistakes are present. Punishment goes hand in hand with military discipline

Respect for your subordinates, peers, seniors and officers are highly regarded. Respect begets respect… in the civilian world. But usually in the military, anyone who has a higher rank than what you are wearing, respect is expected, not that respect is not expected for you to give if they are of the same rank or a lower rank but because they have earned the rank and respect is due. No matter how crooked, bent or unorganized you think he is, you are expected to give respect and act accordingly, otherwise anyone challenging the authority of a non-commissioned officer or his seniors is legally punished and reprimanded. And this is the code of the military and that all army personnel must abide by. When one has joined and has sworned in to be a member of the United States Army, he has given up the right to speak out his opinion for no matter what he thinks or believes in. He has voluntarily given up his first amendment right of the constitution, he has given up his right of freedom of speech, unlike the civilians who can speak their minds openly and freely. This is how the ranking works in the military, whatever your superior says, you are only expected to agree or say “Hooah”, regardless if you agree or disagree to whatever he is saying is irrelevant. Your opinion is irrelevant because you are supposed to follow orders and give respect to what your superior thinks is right. He had earned his rank by serving more years than you have and is more experienced with problems and situation that arises. Respect in the military is highly regarded because it provides structure and foundation through the chain of command to respect the rank and authority. Without military respect and respect for authority, there will be no structure and the entirety of the United States Army would fail. Personnel would have no fear for punishment from his seniors nor a basis for accomplishing a mission. Structure within
