nmmi basic...or RAT week (3 weeks) as a Kilo Knight cadet was quite eventful. It consisted of waking up to light pt....and then standing in the sun for a couple hours. After standing around, cadre tried to teach us rifle drill-the cadre did not know how to conduct close order drill. So after mass confusion, we just stood on stoop at attention stared at bricks. We did this for 3 weeks until the 20 minute first aid safety training, and pretend small unit training with finger guns, and then the obstacle course. Basically three weeks of nothing. Ive learned patience more than anything in the 10 months ive been here. Why patience? You'll put up with a lot....have fun with the new leadership to-be civil prep cadets.
