7th Training February 19, 2014

During this training we had another instructor to manage us for our training but on this it was a Future Soldier Training. We had Sergeant Cabrera where he thought more depth on the ranks and also more on our Army Values and the General Orders that we have to memorize by heart. The values acronym is LDRSHIP where this letters represents meaningful words that every soldier memorize and know at all times either in or out of duty. This words really inspires me because this is avery strong words to represent the Army. The letters stands for Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. For the general orders we have to know as well because these are things that we have to in case of any kind of emergencies and just anything in genreal that we have to tell our leader. Then after that he gave us like a pop quiz about the different ranks in the Army. He made every single one of us go up to the board to draw how the rank insignia look like based on which rank he tells us. And when it was my turn I was sort of nervous because I didn't study about the ranks that much but I still drew the right insignia on the board.And when one of us draws the wrong insignia everyone in the training would have to do 10 pushups as a whole group which was another factor why I was nervous. Then after this we went outside to tackle on some marching which was sort of bad because very little of us knew which marches he wanted us to do because ou regular instructor didn't teach it to us yet and because Sergeant Cabrera wasn't used to teaching future soldiers what we needed to do. But it was all good because we all learned something new after all the marching. And since it was cold and gloomy outside we went back inside the station because Sergeant Cabrera didn't want us to get sick or anything. When we got back up we tried to form the formation if we were to do exercises which was sort of hard to understand because our space in the station was quite small but I managed to get how to do it afterall. And this pretty much ended our training where we also got big poster that has the Soldier's Creed on it.
