My advice to u all future recruits is simple.
Listen to ur sergeants and PC. Ask if in doubt. Because one
screw-up from u may cause not only urself to be in trouble, but may
endanger ur fellow platoon mates lives, especially during live
firing and grenade throw. Better 2 let the sergeant scold u than to
have to attend someone's funeral due to ur own fault.
And also, try 2 help ur platoon mates, especially ur section mates
when they need help. Share ur tidbits with them if possible. Just
don't get taken advantage of.
And more importantly, don't bend down to pick up soap.
