...As a noncommissioned officer, you have duties, responsibilities and authority DUTY: A duty is something you must do by virtue of your position and is a legal or moral obligation. For example, it is the supply sergeant's duty to issue equipment and keep records of the unit's supplies. It is the first sergeant's duty to hold formations, instruct platoon sergeants and assist the commander in supervising unit operations. It is the duty of the squad/section/team leader to account for his soldiers and ensure that they receive necessary instructions and are properly trained to perform their jobs. A noncommissioned officer's duties are numerous and must be taken seriously. An NCO's duty includes taking care of soldiers, which is your priority. Corporals and sergeants do this by developing a genuine concern for their soldiers' well-being. Leaders must know and understand their soldiers well enough to train them as individuals and teams to operate proficiently. This will give them confidence in their ability to perform well under the difficult and demanding conditions of battle. Individual training is the principle duty and responsibility of NCOs. No one in the Army has more to do with training soldiers than NCOs. Well trained soldiers will likely succeed and survive on the battlefield. Well trained soldiers properly do the tasks their NCOs give them. A good leader executes the boss's decisions with energy and enthusiasm; looking at their leader, soldiers will believe the leader...

...What’s the role of a Non-Commission Officer? Duties and Responsibilities of NCOs The main duty of NCOs is taking care of soldiers. Corporals and Sergeants do this by taking concern for their soldiers well being. Leaders need to know their soldiers enough to train them as individuals and teams which will give them the confidence in any conditions to perform there duties. Individual training is the main duty and responsibility of NCOs. No one in the Army has more todo with soldiers than NCOs. Duties also include giving punishments and rewards as it states in the NCO Creed. When giving punishments and NCO must be fair with all soldiers for example two soldiers do the same thing wrong an NCO can not be strong on one and lenient on the other. This is called favoritism which is most definitely not being fair at all. The same thing applies for rewards two soldiers do the same thing an NCO can not give one of them a higher reward. There are three types of duties specified duties which are those related to jobs and positions, directed duties which are not specified as part of a job position or MOS or other directive, and implied duties which often support specified duties. A good leader executes the boss’s decisions with energy and enthusiasm; looking at their leader, soldiers will believe the leader thinks it’s absolutely the best possible solution. As a leader we must ensure that our soldiers clearly understand their responsibilities as members of the team and as representative...

...Duties of a NCO As a Non Commissioned Officers we need to seek what is best for our soldiers. It is our duty to guide them through this Army process. How are we going to do this? By maintaining discipline, training soldiers and ensuring welfare. Maintaining discipline, by ensuring that the soldiers are doing the right thing on and off duty like when we are in the motor pool and you see soldier not helping others to accomplish the assigned task. Ensure Preventive Maintenance Checks and Service are conducted by the book and ensuring that if they find a discrepancy to annotate in 5988’s. We need to be more creative and find some other ways to keep them busy. Inspecting their rooms and making sure they are living like people and not Pigs. Monitoring not micromanaging what they do and who they hang out with in their free time, will only help prevent them from getting in to trouble. Control the underage drinking, but how we can accomplish this one if we have other Non Commissioned Officers promoting “not to get caught”. We need to conduct every now and then some uniform inspections, in that way we can instill the habit in soldiers on having a fresh hair cut on Mondays, clean Army Combat Uniforms every day, and the necessary inspectable items. I think, and this is just an idea, but if we put one of soldiers in a Non Commissioned Officer position for a day, they would feel the weight of responsibilities a Non Commissioned Officer bares. At the same time we can start developing...

...address those to me or members of your chain of command, and I will work them out as needed. Your areas of concern are: 1. Timeliness: Make sure you are at least 10 minutes prior to all announced formations or events. 2. Accountability: Be where you need to be, when you need to be there. In all events, you need to keep your first line leaders (FLL) informed, in their absence one of the other NCOs within your direct chain of command should be aware of your whereabouts at all times. 3. Uniform: Your uniform needs to be presentable at all times. At no time should your uniform fall below the standards set forth in AR 670-1. Motor Pool duty and Field Exercises are not an excuse to wear a substandard uniform. Also, you need to make sure you are in the correct uniform for the mission. If you are unsure of the correct uniform, contact your first line supervisor and they will provide you with that information. 4. Duties: If you have duty, you need to ensure that you are in the proper place, at the proper time, and in the correct uniform for that duty. You will be informed of any duties in a timely manner. Be aware that things change at a moment's notice, so be prepared in case that situation arises. 5. Attitude: You need to have the proper military attitude at all times. Show the proper courtesy and respect to leaders, peers, and subordinates alike. Always be professional and never allow your personal feelings to get in the way of respecting other Soldiers or Leaders. 6...

... | |October 1, 2010 | NCO Financial Services is worldwide outsourcing company. They operate in North America as well as In Mexico and Australia. NCO’s motto is “Your career is our investment…imagine your future”. For the purpose of this report we will be focusing on the Edmonton branch. The Issue In the last six months their attrition rate has skyrocketed. In February 2010 the rate was 4.23%, March 4.97%, April 6.12%, May 7.93%, June 8.17%, July 8.45%, August 10.67%. High attrition leads to higher compensation costs for the company. If the organization hires someone, they have not only spent money on training, but also on the cost of recruiting as well. If an employee leaves abruptly, then the company has not had time to recoup the money spent on the training and recruiting. The process will have to start over again and if this happens to often then the organization may put a freeze on dollars given for recruitment. Poor retention not only affects the company’s bottom line but also moral of the current employees. The burden of picking up the slack falls on current employees. This can cause extra strain on the relationship the employee has with the organization. This is a fast paced industry and can be very stressful at times. It is believed that the retention problems NCO faces are due to the stress the employees faced every day while collecting money from delinquent accounts and...

To harness economic growth to consolidate the recent gains in making development more inclusive. To address the weaknesses in government systems, structures and institutions at different levels of governance. OVERVIEW OF THE ECONOMY ! India among the first few countries in the world to implement a broad-based counter-cyclic policy package to respond to the negative fallout of the global slowdown. The Advance Estimates for Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for 2009-10 pegged at 7.2 per cent. The final figure expected to be higher when the third and fourth quarter GDP estimates for 2009-10 become available. The growth rate in manufacturing sector in December 2009 was 18.5 per cent – the highest in the past two decades. A major concern during the second half of 2009-10 has been the emergence of double digit food inflation.

...Running Head: Peter Singer’s Beliefs 1 In reading his article “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” Peter Singer gives us a seemingly devastating critiques of our ordinary ways of thinking in regards to famine relief, charity, and morality in general. In the spite of this there are some very few people that have accepted, or at any rate acted on, the conclusions he has reached. In aspect of these facts one could possible say of Singer’s arguments, as Hume said of Berkeley’s arguments for immaterialism, that “ they admit of no answer and produce no conviction.” In which I believe that Singer’s considerations show that people should do what would be considerably more than most people would actually do, people do not establish Singer’s conclusions in their full strength or generality. So Singer’s arguments may admit to partial answers, and possibly once properly qualified may produce some conviction. In the article Singer argues that the people who live in affluent countries must radically change their way of life as well as their conception of morality, so that they will become committed to helping those that are in need. Singer begins by asking us to consider cases of famine, like that in Bengal in 1971, Singer argues that the majority of people have a moral obligation to donate all we can possibly to the famine relief, and seeing that the people were suffering tremendously and either the government nor the individuals was doing anything near what was required to help...

Mr. Hall duties and obligation were to get the beef plant built and running based on the $22 million budget he estimated. This did not happen and initial estimated price rose to $55 million dollars upon completion. In this situation, the issue of self-interest arose in the form of Mr. Hall paying his family member nearly $45,000 dollars to act as a consultant on the project. Secondly, as a means of providing and supporting his family, and maybe for financial gain, Mr. Hall also gave $269,000 or fraudulent obtained grant money to other family members. To make matters worse, Mr. Hall also had the construction company building the beef plant to pay him a 1% consulting fee totaling $173,130 and allegedly had the same construction company to perform nearly $20,000 in work on his personal home. According to the article, nearly $270,000 in false invoices were submitted to the Mississippi Development Authority and Community Bank for equipment and other items and demanded more than a $87,000 payment for several other miscellaneous items. In the end, the plant only functioned for several months and shortly afterwards, Mr. Hall defaulted on the $35 million loan and the bank and the state were...

...ways in which the inevitable, non-unavoidable death and suffering that is taking place there can be stopped. In his article, Famine, Affluence, and Morality, Singer draws the conclusion that if we not only has individuals, but as a government [as a whole] would do our parts, the suffering of these individuals would greatly be reduced. In this summary report, I will try to point out his arguments for immediate help for this nation and give a personal response of this article and his arguments. In his article, Famine, Affluence, and Morality, Singer’s goal is to get us the people of an affluent countries to understand and accept his conclusion that with help from us from anyone, the people of Bengal, India will survive and our moral ethical duties would be satisfied. From the beginning of this article, Singer tries to paint the picture of what is exactly going on in Bengal. He clearly and simply states "people are all dying in East Bengal from lack of food, shelter, and medical care" (Singer, 1972). Singer believes and tries to get us to believe that with help from other individuals and countries the people of Bengal will survive. He points out that in order for the nine million “refugees” to live at the very least a year the estimated amount comes to £464,000,000.00. To the date in which he wrote this article only £65,000,000.00 has been raised in the effort to keep these individuals alive. With this estimate, he brings back his point that if every person and developed nation...

...Zakharov Ilya Essay The issue: Children have no responsibility towards their parents when they grow old. Children are never asked to be born and parents can`t expect their help. Nowadays many people think that children who have just come of age have the tendency to lose their contacts with parents. And as a result parents can`t expect help from their children. However, let`s consider the facts. It is believed that the duty of the children towards their parents consists of respect, obedience, care (especially when old people cannot take care of themselves). These duties are determined by the history, different traditions and religion. And apparently the main duty is to love your parents. This one goes without mentioning. With the rising cost of living sometimes parents have to ask children for help and support. And in this case there is the moral obligation of the children to look after them. Even if some people are not in the position to support parents financially, there are many other ways in which it is possible to give a hand. But one should, nevertheless, consider the problem from another angle. There is an argument against making it legal to force children help their parents. One must admit that, because of complicated emotional problems between parents and children, enforcing by law is not the solution. Another argument is that children were not given birth to become caretakers, because some parents may go for having more kids just for profit. And this is not love...

...faced with tough decisions day in and day out. There are many deciding factors that aid us in our decision making. One major factor is our moral judgment. Morality may differ from one individual to the next, but the desire to live by them remains the same. When obeying the law comes into play it does not inflict, by any means, whether this moralistic trait determines your duty nor does it dictate cause to obey the law. Your moral duty is loyal to your own wellbeing and what in your own mind is best for your own person. Even if what you are doing is to benefit others your own person is being satisfied, and yes in some cases this may involve not obeying the law. And in many cases whether you obey the law or not the law does not change. So therefore your obligation to it in reality has no value to it, only to yourself and your own wellbeing. The law will not suffer consequence if not obeyed only the one not obeying it. We obey the law out of rational thought not morality. If you are a licensed driver passing through a reduced speed zone in a school district you will slow down and not speed not out of moral duty, but out of rational thought that I may hit a kid if I drive too fast or I may get a ticket, but whatever...

...modest young lady. He admires her for the respect and value she gives to others and in a sense it tells the audience that she is from a respected background. “That she is worthy, I know” This quotation has connotations or worth and value, ideally it is showing that Hero is following the rules and duties of the conventional women as other characters such as Don Pedro recognises them and through his statement it portrays her that way. Through what Hero says presents clearly as her being a ideal women. At the start of act two, Beatrice referred to Don John as being so sour and tartly looking that it gave her heartburn. Whereas Hero sympathises towards him and claims that; “He is of a very melancholy disposition” This quotation tells the audience that she is considering the sad position that Don John is in, even knowing that he is illegitimate. This also relates back to act one when Hero corrected Beatrice when she was referred Benedick as Signor Monsanto. “My cousin means Signor Benedick of Padua”, the lack of disrespect that Beatrice shows contrast with Hero, therefore the audience gets to see the value and importance that Hero gives to other characters and following her duties of a women, by being respectful and modest towards others as an ideal women should be. However Beatrice’s non-conformity...
