AAR

Well, camp is over.
It was probably the most hectic and nightmarish one I ever had to run.

1st day. Some people didn't turn up for Energy course so Sec 1s had to fill for them, interrupting training time. At night, it rained heavily and the tents flooded. We had to remove the tents and luggage by hand. I got my new long pants muddy :(

2nd day. The Sec 1's drill was lousy. We had run out of time for drill and dinner, and so we declared Emergency. From then on, we scolded and screamed like they do in ITC Catterick. The Sec 1s responded well though. They improved their drill dramatically, as if a miracle. God answers prayers. We had Lights Out at 0100h, so they only had 4+ hours sleep. We had 3 because of boot polishing.

3rd day. Their drills were still good, all passed their drill exam, held a Passing Out Parade. Very good, introduced UDI drills.

Overall, this camp, to me, is a reminder of what God can do for us. Gott mit uns.
