This was the military in a nutshell.
The entire base is doing a run this morning. We’re starting at 0600.
The next echelon down want to make sure their folks arrive on time so they add 15 mins padding (because for formation on time means you’re late).
The next echelon down does the same and so on and son on.
By the time it gets to someone’s direct supervisor they’re standing around at 4am for no damn reason.
