Duty Driver

Meant to publish this July 23 my bad

So this week, wow.

I spent way too much money, I spent a lot of time driving around places, spent plenty of time being sociable, made my way out to Paddys and had a game of Settlers, but now my Intro paragraph is way longer than I expected so I want to segue into the body of things.

The biggest thing that happened was this week I got my 404 (military drivers license) which means that I am able to do the duty drive during the week. 

The way this all came about is actually a fortunate story for me, now I've been put in a position of responsibility which is nice for my job satisfaction and psyche, as opposed to the menial (not an opinion, but the best way to describe) taskings we are given.

Anyways, just a few working days ago we got access to our DWAN accounts, and through those we have the bookmarks and access to different DND websites and resources. I couldn't log in to EMAA, so I went into the help section and created a ticket which gave me access to my personnel file. After that I got access to DNDLearn and started, along with almost a dozen of the other PATs, the 404 PowerPoints and quizzes. We had access to computers in a few different locations, but one of them was in the Tpt office with the Cpl and WO. The whole week I had been pushing for computer access whenever I could, so while he other guys were in supply I was on a computer reading PowerPoint and doing quizzes. After I finished the safe driving final exam with a passing score (the warrant gave me a hint about the prntscrn button so I was able to review my answers and the other module very efficiently - read memorize answers fast) Cpl Heinekamp was talking about training another duty driver. When he said those words I did the little "choose me" whisper/hand signals. I'm not sure how much was chance and how much was first-(second, Pte Samcoe did the final exam earlier the other day) past-the-post. 

Oh I almost forgot, when the Cpl tried to put me into her computer system it didn't give her access, and this was due to a computer issue where it said I was supposed to be in Borden.

Anyways with all his information it means that we were able to kill two birds with one stone: Smith gets his information entered into his 404 correctly instead of Borden holding his information hostage, and Smith learns the route and routine of the duty drive.

So that was Wednesday I think, Thursday and Friday I was going to greenwood with Cpl Heinekamp.

I also played baseball Thursday afternoon, and Friday afternoon I was asked to go to Halifax with Pte Mcleod to pick up one of our vans and drive it back to Aldershot.

After that Friday afternoon, I jumped in my civvies and went with Pte Hill and we caught a ride to Halifax to check out the Costco there.

That's basically my whole week and it was great. I also tried slacklining and didn't get to do some PT since the duty run is in the morning at the same time as the usual PT so I need to see what my options are for PT now.
