Thursday we do our saluting test and rank insignia test. You need to pass both to attain a cap badge along with the associated base privileges. Salute you pass or fail. The rank you need 85 per cent. I know them all 100 percent anyway but the salute is what makes me nervous.
Drill is tough.
Boy, the days go faster here than anywhere in the world. And to prove it today is the 19th. I had to sign off because an NCO was on the prowl. Now I have my cap badge. I got 98 on my first aid.
