Guardsmen Training
When: 1930 to 2000 GMT, 2nd November
Where: Barracks rooftop
Equipment State: Satisfactory other than two attendees lacking bedrolls
Guardsmen in attendance:
Roland Dagorian, Watchman (leading)
Erik Arkay, Grenadier Corporal
Drachir, Regular Scout
Hoagie, Watchman
Vince Valentine, Junior Guardsman
Raiden Morana, Junior Guardsman
The training had been posted for recruits but since none turned up, some senior ranks attended.
Discipline was lacking. There was some fighting in the ranks and in punishment Watchman Hoagie was ordered to do some laps, with some 'encouragement' from the others. When I turned around he seemed to have collapsed, possibly from exhaustion.
Then we had inspection. All were present in uniform. All present had sufficient bandages, some possessing sufficient bandages to equip a small army. All carried polearms but Regular Drachir took so long in displaying his I began to wonder if he was in fact crafting it. Everyone also carried a light source and could correctly demonstrate how to light it.
The Guardsmen were then ordered to run to the Church and back. Again Watchman Hoagie demonstrated a lack of fitness.
Healing drills were carried out with the assistance of Corporal Arkay and his bow, with the four remaining guardsmen forming pairs. One of them was struck down but other than that healing was satisfactory.
Whilst Regular Drachir was temporarily excused, two teams were set up. One team was to keep me standing, the other was to try and strike me down. The defending team kept me upright, though this was partly due to Regular Drachir returning and knocking down one of the attacking side. By this stage it was nearing time to leave for the Trinsic Market so the Guardsmen attending the training were dismissed.
Overall it was adequate though sloppy in parts. Some improvements are needed in ensuring all kit is packed, orders are carried out timeously and fitness levels raised. Also the next time someone attends a training session of mine under the influence of drink they may find themselves acting as a training dummy. It was perhaps fortunate no Recruits were present.
Signed,
