Reflection On Class 20 Spot Inspection

504 Words3 Pages

On January 7, 2016, class 20 had a spot inspection. Class 20 had made numerous mistakes last week and was acting unprofessional. The class was acting as if they were still in the first two weeks of the academy. There are still recruits who are still talking over the platoon leaders and not being respectful. Recruits were missing parts of their uniform last week and had their firearms taken away. As of this past Friday, this class has lost the privilege of wearing any of the academy uniforms.

If I did not place my boots down correctly, it is my fault. If another recruit kicked it by accident, it is my fault for having my boots stick-out slightly from my

    Uniforms played an important role in convenience, identification, and protection to the troops. Most soldiers were only given an old carpet piece for baggage, muddy discarded shoes, and dirty, ragged clothing. By wearing uniforms, it helped both sides distinguish who were Northern Union soldiers and those who were Southern Confederate soldiers. The United States’ massive industry capacity provided the ability to give all of their troops wool uniforms. Uniforms were convenient for the troops on both sides because many soldiers wore whatever they brought with them from home.

    He reflects upon his experiences in the police academy. He contends that the academy environment is less a learning process and more of a ritualizing hazing environment.

In order to meet the 502 Maryland mandated training objectives, classes were taught to the tests. Moskos writes that neither he nor his colleagues were challenged by any of the class material, with perhaps the exception of a few legal classes.

    Men were glad to do away with their puttees, which Private H. J. Youngman of the London Rifle Brigade viewed as ‘a stupid piece of clothing,’ and that it was ‘all too good that they have been abandoned.’ When professionals suggested soldiers wear multiple pairs of socks on rotation, however, it relied on the ability to find ample time to take their boots off in the trenches. This was not a simple undertaking. Further, when the men wore pairs of socks on rotation, constant rain meant there was no way both the soldier and their socks were going to stay dry. Lieutenant Butlin wrote ‘the weather was rather bad…in fact I never got dry again the whole time.’
