Stress days II-Guard duty
Everyone in the army have to do guard duty.Everyone plays a part.Sad right?
Last week i have said that we had done understudy of guard duty and one of them is to search cars for strange items or bomb -like objects etc.Understudy means u follow people who is doing guard duty around,take note what they should do during guard duty.And most of the time they will let u try.
Wed was our 2nd understudy of guard duty.After lessons end at 5 pm, we have to assemble and divide class of 19 people into 3 groups.Well at weekdays,the guard duty starts from 6 pm to 8.30 am next day. Group A is to understudy for 2 hours and the other groups rest.Then Group B take over and so on ,also can be known as shift work.Waa lack of sleep.So what does the understudy exactly do.They follow the guard duty peronnel .
One shift consist of about 5 person doing guard duty with about 2 second seargeants,one staff-sergeants and one warrant officer incharge of us.They will be walking around outside or inside the office.At weekdays night or 24 hours weekend starting from morning till next morning ,there there will be 2 groups of 2 prowlers. One QM assigned to stand outside the office to see any suspicious or funny things going on outside the office area.total 5. (so understudy is about one trainee have to follow one person)total 10 person.So i have been following the prowlers with my trainee buddy for 4 hours.I told ya right, one shift is 2 hour and there are 3 groups.The understudy guard duty start from about 6 -8am.
So what doea the Guardduty is all really about?i brief u on that later becoz my First guardduty is on good friday..yesterday
