Yes! The skin is up!

Or at least I thought it was until I looked at it with my own two eyes stuck to the browser... The skin doesn't really fit the term confusion does it? But it'll do till I find one that's confusing. Or get confused while looking for one. Either is fine.

NPCC today was a complete waste of time in my opinion. Worked so hard to prepare my full-uniform the previous day - and we don't have dismissal parade. It's actually a good thing though. I don't want to stand in a thick blue nylon shirt and pants, sweating all over the place.

We had our first taste as NCOs. I can follow drilling commands, but I'm very unfamiliar with how to say those commands so I left that to my more proficient comrades. Instead I helped around with the aesthetics of drilling - yes, aesthetics - and ultimately hung back with the Sec 1s and tried to show them how the commands they did not know were done.

The fireteam we took (Catherine, Weixiong and me, but later with Faris) were unenthusiastic, They did more than half the drills wrong, kept stumbling at commands, didn't say the timings and when we did they didn't follow them, and practically ignored instructions - or failed to follow them - before and during the Sec 1 parade training.

Sounds pretty familiar.

But that was this afternoon. The familiarity came from two years ago. When we, the U06, first came to Unity Sec and set foot into the NPCC way of life. We were a stubborn pack of hounds always looking forward to the moment we get our water-breaks -- or the moment training ends -- and rejoice once we finally get away from it. We often had trouble realizing our mistakes even though our NCOs at that time pointed it out to us again and again (shoedraggers, eat sawdust!). But we turned out pretty much okay. True I didn't appear for a lot of trainings, (big hug, thanks, and a bag of bricks on the head of my friend Medi Cal Praw Blam), but I know how much my comrades have changed since our Sec 1 years - and I know how much I have changed. We used to be the most quiet squad in the entire parade.

Now we make each other deaf.

I can really see a bright future for our juniors - Sec 1s and 2s. We used to be just like them, though a bit on the smaller scale because our squad's dwarfed by them, but hey, look at us now.

Maybe today wasn't such a waste of time after all.
