Let me in I need it

Journal Entry 1

Today I began training for the cadet RFL (Regular Fitness Level) The RFL consists of a 2.4k run, and as many push ups and sit ups as you can manage afterwards. The run should take a maximum of 15 mins, with the record being 7 minutes, My fastest time is 12:30, but today I did it in 14, So I need to work on that. (I skipped the push up and sit ups, so I will need to add that into my training)

I just got back on Sunday from staffing a three day leadership course with the cadet forces. I marked cadets on leadership tasks, drill lessons, squad handling and presentations.

Here are the quotes from the English book I’m working on, I find them interesting;

Be observant – take note of the things that you 'notice'. The things that stand out. - Kate de Goldi

'Writing is more about seeing then writing.' - Glen Colquhoun

Some ideas....

Read and write a lot – rewrite great pieces of writing or write your own version.

Journal Entry 2

There is a list of 'sentence starters' in unit 4A of the booklet I'm working on, so I might as well use them, I think I'll just start from the top and use one per day.

So....

'If only I could....'

If I only I could keep my room clean, I love having a clean room, but I never have time to clean it, what with Alpha, TeKura, work and volunteer stuff.
I spent half an hour this morning picking up the floor so at least its safe to walk in now, but I still find the mess terribly distracting.

I'm going to pause here and come back after cadets this evening, as not much as happened so far today.

PAUSE Actually I need to do a pic entry thing...

So I will do picture f. A story of the bull with evil eyes.

The crowd was wild, this was the sixth bull so far and they had all proved to be uninteresting and weak, but this was about to change.
'The Bull with evil eyes' his eyes glow with an inner fire, he smells the

    Like all military officers, I was trained and groomed to be a leader from the time I raised my right hand and took the oath of office. The most important contribution to my success was the emphasis I placed on putting junior member’s needs before mine. I have a code that I live by and it has been very effective as a leader, “Take care of your people, and they will take care of…

    In today’s Army, the Non-Commission Officer corps has made great strides in capitalizing on the core leader competencies and attributes that are required in this profession however much work is still required. As the “War on Terror” dissipates and we transition into peace time operations, we must reestablish the foundation of the NCO Corps. Developing ourselves and our future leaders will ensure our Army is READY to accomplish any task while ensuring the welfare of our Soldiers during any type of operations. From my experience, this line of effort starts with embodying a character that is optimal for today’s force and enforcing standards across all spectrums of Army…

    In the graphic novel the “beast” is more than just a bull in the sense that it represents many other characteristics, but it is still a beast because it embodies the aggression, violence and fear shown in the boy and also in all of us as individuals. The hostility of the beast is shown through the physical killing of the aboriginal child, the pursuing of the bull, as well as the depression and the attempted suicide of the boy. A quote that conveys this is, “I have become such a beast”. All the anger we have inside us is represented by the bull, but also through the boy. The “boy” not having a name establishes this, because by being nameless he can personify all of us. When the boy is trapped in the amphitheatre cornered by the bull it metaphorically suggests that everything in his life up to that point is on a stage for him to examine. There is no escape he must confront the beast. By doing so he is tackling his fears, his anger and his guilt.…

    From the moment that you are born to the moment where you learn how to read and write, there has been the theory of reading and writing. The theory of reading and writing varies among each person. The second day of class, we talked about what good reading and writing was. We discussed that good reading skills are, “ Retaining information, it is challenging, but not taxing, the topic informs, and it gives an opinion.” (notes). We also discussed that writing should “entertain, be on topic, inform, and persuade.” (notes). When analyzing good reading and writing, we found that there were two common themes, communication and time. Communication is key to having sound reading and writing. As time goes on, your reading and writing skills improve along with your theory of reading and writing.…

    Well we have all done this, it may vary depending on your current employment on how, but we do. We all lose important tools in our current task. My job right now is to stay home, take care of my family, and well…. Pretty much everything else. Sometimes while cooking in a hurry I will start stacking spices, ingredients,and pans on top of each other just to create workspace. Then I will search for that condiment and drive myself insane looking for it. By the time I find it dinner is ruined due to over cooking. The truth is if I had just taken a few minutes to lay out and organize my spices and ingredients my cooking would have been more productive and would have had a larger workspace. Another example of how productivity is linked with an uncluttered workspace is paying bills. In the past every time a bill came in the mail I would dump it on the desk. Next thing you know the bill is almost due and I have to go a on a scavenger hunt. This definitely shows a link between cleanliness and productivity. USA Today states how employers look for tidy candidates to fill positions. A clean environment prevents loss in revenue. One lost document costs a company $120, as writer Dana Knight states in her article. A company wants the person representing them to be one that everyone can look up to and respect. Knowing where every document, order, or inventory is creates a positive reputation. Organization is used in every job, every day. Doctors and nurses must know where every syringe and medication is to save lives. Can you imagine rushing to the ER and putting your life in someone else hands and there was a mistake. What if there was a need for a blood transfusion and their stock was unorganized? Or the charts were mixed up with another patients and the medicine issued to you caused an allergic reaction? This is why we must all learn to sort and organize to some extent. I…
