Leading:Garrison Hawke-Watchman
Attending:Alexander Hawke-Recruit
Watchman Hawke caught up with me in the barracks and asked me to help him practice going through some parade and battle drills. The first thing that he had me do was Sound Off. I had stepped out of the line to to sound off for the other recruits, who happened to be boxes, so he made me run two laps around the barracks. when I got back he had us Number Off. We did a few more parade drills such as Ready Arms, Parade, turn Left. Parade, turn Right, etc.. After we finished doing some more basic parade drills we left the barracks for some combat drills. The first thing we did was a trackers line , and that was followed up by targeting specific targets. We ended up seeing an ogre so that is what we targeted. He also went over the proper way to Form up in the Box Formation, they must cover the front, to the left/right, and to the rear of the guardsman in command, in that order. We then did Charge where we killed yet another ogre. That was followed by being ordered to hide, something that I am some what of an expert at. Helping Watchman Hawke taught me a few useful things at this training that I hope will make me a better Recruit.
