Warm up columns E

Evaluation
I was evaluated as a cadet in NJROTC, I think they are testing to see who is good for a platoon commander next year.
I did well!
Well at least I think I did, I was put in charge today for a short while while doing PT.
There has been rumor that the new lists of PCs and other positions have come out and I am trying really hard to prove that I can take charge and command a platoon. Hell, maybe even a company (150 people)
Captain was looking at the way I took charge at first, getting everybody's attention and telling therm in a strong commanding voice what we are going to do. He then looked at how well I executed the drill, am I doing the exercise right/setting an example, am I staying in my place. All this stuff I am graded on.
When we were done I put them at ease and then he just moved on to the next, out of everybody that got a chance I did the best. Hopefully that takes me somewhere.

Learning a Lesson

I chose option "D"

I was 8 or 9 years old and I was with my dad, my dad was a professional bike racer at the Velodrome in san diego. He is into bikes and wanted to take me to an event that they were having there, it was almost like a swap meat event.
He was busy looking and buying and selling things and me being 8 years old got bored really fast, I wandered off not telling my father where I was headed.
I soon realized that I was lost in the crowd of people. People where moving fast and I had no idea where anything was. I learned that father should always be informed of my whereabouts and where I am going.
