Roll call

From 7th Cavalry Regiment Wiki

Roll call is the calling of the names of people from a list (roll) to determine the presence or absence of the listed people. The term applies to the calling itself, to the time moment of this procedure, and to a military signal that announces it (e.g. by a drum). Roll calls in the 7th Cavalry take place once a week in our forums.

Procedure

Supplemental 12MAY2011

The Section Leader is responsible to update the roll call post in a timely fashion, and should ideally be scanning it and updating it ever day with the newest "report ins".
The Section Leader is responsible to update the training after action report within 24 hours after the training event took place.
The Section Leader should have his training plan and any "training references" ( ie: manuals that will be reviewed ) posted and notice made PRIOR to the training event.

INTENT OF SUPPLEMENT

It is damn nigh impossible for your CO1SG / COXO / COCMDR to assist you, cover down for you, and track what is going on if you do not tell them. If you get sick on friday and dont show up to update your post before closing time, we loose a lot of time, and a lot of data. The realistic need to update things in a timely fashion is common sense.
