Question about resumes
I got this question about resumes.
Question... should we only include relevant work experience or all work experience? Usually for resumes you only include relevant experience but currently I don't have any experience that is relevant for this field so I don't know for sure how to do my resume.
In this case I would put all work experience. The resume is used to show what kind of experience you have, your work history, and show your educational background.
Good question.

Patrol Notebook
One item that will be extremely useful once you have finished the academy is the Patrol Notebook. This is not any kind of official document. It is more of a self made reference guidebook. Over the course of BLET you will find a lot of information that might be helpful in your career. This information should be filed in your Patrol Notebook. The list that follows is by no means an all inclusive list:
Maps of your area
The section in Field Notetaking and Report Writing on describing persons and items.
The 10 codes from Radio Procdures
A list of telephone numbers
A call sign list for officers in other departments. These also include officers telephone numbers.
Checklists.
Vehicle inspection checklists
Etc.
Once you are in the field you can keep this in your car, briefcase, or gear bag so that you always have it.

Drill
Yesterday I introduced you to drill. Here are just a few reminders.
1. When receiving the command Forward, March all cadets will respond with "And, Step". Remember to start moving your left foot when you say "And". Your left heel should be striking the ground when you say "Step".
2. When you receive the command, Platoon, halt. All cadets will respond with, Step, stop.
3. When you receive the command, Cover. All cadets will respond with, Short, choppy steps sir.
I will introduce more and more drill over the next few months.
I have included a link to the Drill Pad. This has a lot of information on DRill and Ceremonies. We use the Air Force versions with a few modifications.
http://www.drillpad.net/DPindividual.htm
Why do we practice drill? You will never use it once you leave the academy. There are several reasons.
1. Drill instills teamwork. Everyone has to work together, or the formation looks like a goat rope.
2. Drill instill discipline. If a member is not paying attention, or does not learn the drill movements,then it will be apparent to the Drill Instructor.
3. Drill gives us a way to move from one point to another in an organized manner.
4. Drill helps instill a feeling of professional pride. It feels good to march together knowing that everyone knows their job and can do what they are supposed to do upon immediate command.
Make sure you read this all the way. You may be asked questions at formation
Here is a link to the AF Drill Manual.
