First week in my new unit

My first week in unit, 3SIB Signal Company was really uncomfortable. I not sure why, and I have this feeling everytime I entered into a new environment where there are different people and surrounding. I should say my adaptation to different environment is slow. But nevertheless, I got my first taste of unit life.

From day 1, I have been following my senior whenever he goes and by the way I just switched from Ops Officer to a CCIS (Information System) Platoon Commander. I learn from Duty Officer duties to solving the computer accounts for the staff in 3SIB. Mostly I deal with lots of email and computer related queries from 3SIB. As I am not specializing in CCIS, I have an uphill task to learn from the specialists regarding the server. With Ex Wallaby coming up in Nov, I need to learn fast and be proficient in it. Beside this I also had ICCT (Intermediate Close Combat Training) doing the entire break falls and locks. 15 lessons in total.

What is the difference between trainee and officer?
Trainee – Vulnerable yet protected
Officer – No protection and more arrow work.
