The commander said we could ask any questions after training. I asked whether we could have skipped training.

Now I know: being allowed to ask a question does not mean you will like the answer.

We practised covering a fellow soldier during training. The commander clarified that when told "cover me", I should be watching the enemy, not another soldier's arse.

Today the commander said, for the first time, that he had no questions for me. It turned out he had run out of questions, but still had complaints.

Mixed up Honour and Valor at training. Both answered. The commander answered too, but that was not a callsign.

The difference between an ensign and a lieutenant has been explained to me. Noted. Now explain why I am cleaning everything after training again.
