Week 2

The PT test came and went last Thursday, and I did well. I hadn't taken a PT test in almost a year and a half, which is a long time in the army. This week we've been doing combatives, which in the beginning is Brazilian Jujitsu.

Today we did a 5 mile ruck march, and I was in charge along with the platoon leader. I think the march went well and I'm happy with our platoon so far. It was fun to be back in charge of a formation after so long just being in charge of Korean middle school students. Speaking the same language goes a long way.

Food for thought from today's "taking charge of a platoon" class: As an aspiring leader, when you're working under or with people, who do you learn more from? Bad leaders or good leaders?
