What do you do to break the ice between recruits when you have a dozen new recruits who don’t know each other and are afraid to even look sideways.
I have got them to buddy off then spell their buddies name in the phonetic alphabet.
I have also got the recruit to stand 20 paces in front of the section and under my supervision call out the commands for the section.
This has the advantage of getting the recruit familiar to the commands but also increases their confidence and after all of the recruits have had a go of this they usually work better together. They also call out the timing louder which means that they are all in step!
Any thoughts?
