We taught baby forecasters NEVER EVER BE LATE FOR BRIEFING. The forecast can be wrong but never late.
The doctrine was enforced brutally ....... anyone late for a promotion board interview was deemed NFI and failed on the spot.
We had a '5 minute early' rule for all briefings. I was once given a rollocking for being 2 minutes late for being 5 minutes early!
