First Training Day (Part 1)
I saw the formation of a platoon of cadets from outside, when I got off the jeepney. Seeing that I am not as early as I thought, I ran. I have to.
I talked to one of the cadets in the formation, in whisper. I know in CAT that people who are in formation are not supposed to talk. But I have to know what I should do. (The number of people bothered me, Why is there only about 20 people here?)
The person commanding the unit asked what unit I was in (I learned later that he was a cadet NCO). I answered COCC. Upon hearing this, it seems that they have changed their attitude towards me. They pointed me to the building of the physical education, the Sports Science and Wellness Center. The headquarters.
I quickly went in and walked upstairs. I saw a group of cadets with the same attire I have: blue jeans, white shirt, rubber shoes and garrison buckle and belt. I saw them talking. They must be freshmen, I thought, talking about something they either don't know or not entirely sure about. I run to them and asked if they were in COCC. They are.
The wait for the unknown seems long. It actually took about 15 minutes. By 0630H, we heard the steps of boots on the wooden stairwell. The steps were well measured, and so the group of about 40 students in blue-jeans-white-shirt-and-rubber-shoes stopped talking about what they expect of the training day.
The officer shouted, "CLOSE YOUR EYES!"
