Depending on branch of service. Each branch has duplicated things like how many forms to fill out, to how many individuals it takes to do one job. Or its just so. What are thoughts and if you know of any that are just that. And to help you out. Here is Beetle Bailey to show you the way

1. Stupidity, its contagious
2. MPRJs - if you're smart you have about 9 copies of everything because things keep getting lost.
3. Effort - never ends, things never get done.
4. Bad Decisions - Vietnam, Grenada, Iraq, Afghanistan, berets...
5. Duty Uniforms - we can't seen to agree on one

I don't know how it is now... but the old MP reports, with statements, the MP statement/report, and the synopsis... basically you wrote or paraphrased the same information 3 more times (that didn't count witness statements and such)... it was (perhaps still is) ridiculous.

Hmmm.....where did I put that checklist.....for awards, evaluations.......

NOPE it is copy of orders when you report anywhere....why do you need 20 copies of orders to report to Airborne school? I turned in one and had one stamped to get food at the mess hall that did not even check it and 18 copies in my bag.....
