2nd Training January 8, 2014

My training was at San Mateo Army Recruting Station for this day. In the beginning of the training me and my other battle-buddies were to recite out the Soldier's Creed the army proper way with the right posture and standing. And throughout the training we learned about the different ranks that goes on in the army, where I knew which rank I am in which is in E-1 and gets to be called Private Baptista. My platoon sergeant also thought us the different standing positions where we practiced it outside the building with the rest of the future soldiers. Then we went back inside the building and he thought us some of the different acronyms that gets used in the army. These acronyms are used as shortcut to some words and phrases used in the army and also helps us understand the different sounds to not get confused with the similarity sounds of words. The last thing that I learned during this day of training is how to read a map where we use this special kind of protractor to spot places in the map.
