Reflection for 15th January 2016 :-))

15/01/2016
Second activity for the year, first time wearing full Guides Uniform in awhile. We fell in as usual at 3.15 and had uniform check, followed by roll call. Next we proceeded to split into sec2 and sec3 squads and practiced our drillings individually. The sec3s split into two squads and we started practicing our drills as we have become rusty especially after the long break. Some of ex ex ex seniors came back and saw us drilling, and I could tell that they were very disappointed as our standards have dropped a lot. Afterwards, we had a HTHT session with the seniors. They told us about the drilling badge that was coming up and how we needed to buck up our drilling if we wanted to earn the drilling badge, and asked us confidentially if we wanted to badge or not. The seniors also told us more about their roles as CL/ACL/QM/PL/PS to help us in deciding what rank we want, and that whether or not we get the rank depends on how hard we work from now. After the HTHT session we went back to doing intensive drilling, and every mistakes we made were accounted for. Overall activity was quite tiring as we did not drill for a long time and I think I should really start working towards the goal I want in Guides in the future. I think individually and as a squad, we also need to improve our drilling to do the seniors proud! With roughly 4 months left before stepping up, I should really learn as much from the seniors as I can!!
