Leadership - Week 2

More updates about my training. This week we moved on to the topic of Appreciation of Situation and Operation Planning. A lot of preparations and presentations had to be done in the first half of the week, some of which took half the day to go down to the actual ground to do the planning itself. The later half of the week was more situation and mission based. The small missions were pretty fun. Each mission had a leader who is given a "playground", some equipment like ropes and sticks, the party, and a mission to fulfil like to bring everyone and everything across the river. Pretty much like those Sit-tests in the army. The bigger missions on the other hand involve more serious issues like arresting personal, and they took up a lot more time. Planning and briefing were more crucial for these missions as they involve mass deployment of observation posts, arresting teams, etc. Other than that, we also had a confidence building session where we climbed on top of a very high pole to stand on top of it, and then jumped to catch the horizontal bar which is about 2 metres away. Wasn't really a big deal to me as i'm not afraid of heights, but it sure was for some of my squadmates. Very funny to see them whine as they climb up the pole. Haha...
