TashaRules's Blog

well i guess it's time to write my next blog so here it goes. For those who have just started reading my blog for the first time i am in the Royal Canadian Army Cadets i plan on joining the Canadian Reserves in 2-3 years time and hopfully the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. But right now lets just get you up to date. Since my last blog i have joined the Marksmen team boy what a surprise this one was, We have marksmen every friday exsept those few exseptions. I went to the seccond night of marksmen which was right after the christmas holidays. This time instead of doing standing shooting like we did the last time we had marksmen, We were in Prone Position (on your belly) seeing as we were shooting inside our HQ it probably wouldn't be the best idea to be shooting the 22 Calibers so we were stuck with the Daisy Air Riffles (Yes the riffle where you toss it at the target and it'll hit it before the Pellet does) anyway we were shooting this was probably my 4th time shooting a riffle this year. While i was shooting my riffle wasn't sited properly so i had to get a new one which was kinda a pain. Once with my new riffle boy did i ever rock. after the first few rounds on the individual targets compition shooting i handed in my targets found a few bullseyes the next thing i knew was that i was tied with one of the Corperals for best shooter in the core. Eventually i got knocked down to 5th but really being a Recruit who has shot a riffle only 4 times in their life thats pretty damn good. I was better then some of the senior cadets which was awsome to glotte about... well yeah. I got 141 points on my individual targets the best shooter was the sergeant at 164 not that far behind. The recruits my rank only had 40-60 points i swear when i heard how good i was doing it was a great surprise. Okay now that we're done with that story lets fast forward to last nights shooting\parade night. Well first things first we had to put shooting infront of parade night so in the end the time tallied up to 4 hours at cadets. Shortly after a nice shoot before paradenight i quickly jumped into the bathroom and put on my uniform. We were called out to form up on the parade square after hearing about our lessons and where we have to go the greenstars were on the parade square... oh goody. While we were doing our drill lesson about 10 minutes in i didn't feel all to great i began to feel dizzy and whoosy. I raised my arm and asked if i could sit down. About half way to the seat the parants swarmed me and my lieutenant grabbed my by the army and directed me towards a chair (Seeing as i couldn't see all to good) I sat there as the parents worried about my color. For about 20 minutes i sat there drinking 2 cups of water and i can of pop (they couldn't find any orange juice) and they gave me a gernola bar as well. I was able too see again after about 2 minutes sitting down. Luckly i was able to digest the gernola bar which meant i wasn't sick. I sat there and watched my Squad do drill. It was quite funny watching them get yelled at. They were standing at attention and some of them were looking at the Master Warrent officer (which you're not supposed to) He said "Quit looking at me" and gave them a long lecture in not looking around while at attention. Well then he said "The next one to look at me we are all doing pushups." and guess what one of the newer recruits just had to move his eyes at the MWO direction. Bam they had to do pushups the MWO did them with the squad as well after doing 5 pushups he said "And one for the Queen" which totalled it up to 6. Boy im glad i got all wonky before that. I can just barely do 12 without dying. Well there's my little story comment if you like ect ect. Bye Bye for now. CDT Dubois RCACC 3025 Service Battlion
