Act Like A Caveman Day/Carousel Day/St. James Day

Yesterday was the first lesson. Today was the first test. Conducting tests is really easy, but I can see why some of the CSOs used to get annoyed with us when we were still trainees. One of the specialists today had completely no idea what to do during the test. I recognised him actually. RJC guy, the kind that I hated when I was in school without having to know personally. In some perverse way, I'm glad that he screwed up today. I am, after all, only human. Anyway, my friend and I both agree that this batch of specialists is a perfect match for the other IC1 operator platoon that passed out of SI at the same time as ours. It wasn't meant as a compliment. I can't imagine having to take orders from people like them! Unfortunately, the replacements for the two NSF specialists in my branch are supposedly coming from this batch, so I hope we at least get the least screwed up ones. If anything, they'd better be nice to us. After all, they were our trainees, once upon a time. Yet such is the way of this place, where rank matters above all else. So in time to come, they may not even give a damn. It would hardly surprise me...

This week:
