What is the consequence of continued tardiness?

Continued tardiness leads to a documented pattern in a cadet's personnel file, which serves as an official record that reflects on their commitment and discipline. This documentation is crucial because it can impact future evaluations and opportunities within the program. Recognizing a pattern of tardiness indicates a lack of punctuality and reliability, qualities that are vital in a structured environment like a cadet training program. The accumulation of tardiness can signify broader issues with time management or respect for the training process, which is why it is taken seriously and recorded rather than overlooked. This documentation can also influence decisions regarding discipline or further training opportunities, making it a significant consequence of repeated lateness.
