What you say is true. But with us if somebody is missing at 0630 somebody, the SGM, is going to want to know the status of the individual by 0900.
The true point of this is for the younger guys. When you are not in the proper place at the appointed time your superior, the Team Sergeant, is on the hook to the SGM.
Getting a call at 0300 that one of the young studs was doing 100 in a 55 200 miles from post and is now locked up and needs to make bail does not put a SGM in a good mood. He might just want to let the TS stew a bit after the TS reports "All present" and the SGM asks the TS to report to his office with the young lad after the formation.
Must be a universal code because everybody in the formation starts to smile as they know whats coming "Ah, well, SGM, he's not here right now, he's running a bit late." "Oh, so he'll be here in a few minutes?" "Ah, ah...."
