Reserve Defense Forces

I spent the weekend in CavanBarracks on a Potential NCO Course.

I hope that I will be a Corporal in the Reserve Defense Forces by the end of the year. This will allow me to teach Recruits footdrill and the training of weapons. I have to attend a two week course to obtain the Corporal Position.
I will undergo intensive training.

During the weekend, I learnt the 'Qualities of Instruction'. I learned that 'nothing is taught, unless something is learned'... The weekend was a revision of what I have learned on the Postgraduate Diploma in Education Course.

For my two weeks,I will have to prepare lesson plans and give lessons in front of officers. I will be obliged to use teaching aids, such as Powerpoint and charts.

This Nco course will be very beneficial.
