Photos are up! Just like I'd promised. Click on the links on the left to see more, under the titles Taiwan and ASLC: Pop. 1 week in platoon sergeant course. No complaints. Its been good so far. They treat you with a lot of respect, there isn't any lights off timing, and you can go to the canteen anytime you want after office hours. Not forgetting to mention that the people there have real coursemanship even though they might be ranked higher than you. All of us are trainees and we try our best to listen and follow whatever instructions given by the appointment holders. Had Ex Lovelost on Friday. Basically a revision on our breaching methods, except that now the appointment holders for platoon commanders have to navigate all the way to the correct places, instead of the instructors telling us what to do. Everything went well I guess, nothing special happened. I'm currently holding the Armskote IC appointment. Its quite tiring and stressful. You have to be in the armskote room and get ready the arms for the course, plus you have to ensure that certain protocols are followed. Since this was my first time doing armskote, I naturally committed a few mistakes here and there. Was chided by one of the Staff Sergeants from the CSM course, but it really doesn't matter. All of us are here to learn. Ex. Punchhole is next. Its a platoon level ambush exercise. I'm given the Machine Gunner appointment, and I think it will be real fun proning and blasting away a few hundred rounds. Needless to say, the cleaning process will certainly give many of us headaches later. 3 more weeks before the course ends, but some part of me wishes it to be extended. Probably because I dread going back to my unit at 5SIR. Haven't got used to unit life yet, its too regimental for me. I want to lay back and let things go by slowly. Man, am I lazy or what.... Hahaha I guess I am... Savant at 9/12/2004 03:03:00 pm ;
