last week we had a series of interesting company event. a series of 'surprise' activations that tested our readiness and adaptability. i say 'surprise' because whatever happened was contrary. i shall not elaborate. all i can say that my platoon did their best, showed their commitment to the task required and executed the necessary that was expected of them.

some of my specialists shined throughout the exercise, which i am grateful for and really proud of because that reflected initiative and responsibility on their part. others were not as exemplary. ultimately, in my humble opinion and from my observations of the other platoons, i think platoon 1 was the best in terms of execution, casman and communication between specs, although much can be improved (as it is with a lot of things in the unit).

additionally, i was particularly impressed with how plt 3 adapted to their scenario that was injected by our glorious one at the eleventh hour. however, as fc, i was dismayed by their display of communication - or the lack of it!

it ended at the eti ground, with a photo taking ceremony and water gunning the ord-ing personnel.

final ex for me! (though seriously...i would like to have had it done at another location outside of the unit, where we can really 'play-out' the scenarios and put what we have learned to real good use).
