Report:
After conducting a patrol of the graveyard and Cove proper, I took the two recruits that were in formation and asked them if they had done a Sentry? Both responded that they had not. So I had them follow me to the main gate for Sentry 101. Sergeant Haogie came along in support.
I explained what a sentry is and what is was used for, after that I used the small sentry kit I always carry and showed them how it was constructed. Explaining the system of; crate, two hides, crate, two hides. I also showed them some of the items I carried in case it was a long sentry, chess and checkerboards, lamps, table, stool, etc.
I had the recruits gather the hides and do most of the construction, so that they could get a feel for what it was like. After it was completed, we had a question and answer period, were Sergeant Hoagies helped field some of the harder technical questions. The troops asked great questions and were motivated during the entire class.
I then had them take down the sentry and dismissed them.
