guarduty

this week was a week of regimental duties. Finished serving 2/3 of my extras, i.e. 2 this week and honestly i felt quite a sense of accomplishment judging by the fact that this was the first time doing guard duty. Being a guard commander was quite taxing on the whole, having to manage the guards and answer to one's superiors if anything cocks up, be it accountability of items or breaching of security by external elements. Got to work with my junior specs who were guard 2IC's so at least there were people i knew though this does not hinder the fact that i got to mingle with the guards from other units to kill time. Getting to exercise leadership and commanding skills wasn't too bad a thing either, if not for one's 3SGT rank especially when there is not really an equally great opportunity to do so in battalion line. Thus, it was quite an enriching experience being a guard commander and doing guard duty isn't that bad as i thought. After all, not needing to do physical training the next day and guard rest are testament to it. today was my first day giving proper tuition to a secondary 4 boy and felt rather satisfied with the environment provided and the pay attached to my service. Hopefully this job could go on for quite some time. Lastly, i cannot find my campass!!!
