It's been an eventful (or, should I say "drill-ful") two weeks for all of us! I'm glad to see you having initiative to take time out of your schedule to practice drill on your own during recess and after school! It also shows how much you want to pass and earn your drill stage badges! (and eventually, your SSGT rank!)
Here's the comments by the National Drill Instructors who assessed your drill today:
Stage 2
- T-L-V footwork: didn't do a proper "T" (left foot's "T" not perpendicular to right foot, and/or landed too far from right foot)
- Hormats: index finger should be pointing to eyebrow, not below the eye, hand should tilt down slightly so that palm cannot be seen. (Again, this mistake.. now from a different batch)
- Should not be leaning backwards when doing slow-march
- Jadikan dua/tiga: Moving too little when command given (middle row should be taking bigger steps to move closer to the new spot among the first/third row)
- Jadikan dua/tiga: Middle row should execute movement in a zig-zag manner, instead of in a straight line forward/backward
- Slow march: toes not pointing down, no 'jerk' when shooting out each foot.
- Kiri/kanan on the march: did not straighten arms when cutting down during execution of movement, feet not perpendicular or foot landed too far from other foot.
Here's the list of candidates who passed (theory tests will be conducted next week Sat, at 8.30am in school canteen). In no particular order..
