Whipping the troops into shape

Posted on Sat May 22nd, 2021 @ 7:14pm by Lieutenant Commander Constance Stewart

Standing in front of the security team that's not on duty. Looking at each one of them. Noticing how many new faces we have since I've been away. Thinking I have my work cut out for me here. I speak in a loud but firm voice. "Alright everyone attention" *looking and seeing everyone lined up in rows one behind another wearing their training uniforms standing at attention. I walk up and down each row inspecting each officer's clothing, their stance hand placement. All passed my inspection. I walk back up front.
"I'm Lt Stewart, I'm the new assistant security/tac officer. I have been tasked with making this team better. Getting it running like a well oiled machine. I am fair, I don't show favoritism. If you need help, ask me. I will help you. I will not put up with slacking of any kind or giving me less than your best. You will show me respect, your teammates respect and yourself respect. I will not tolerate bullying or shaming or disrespect of any kind. You will be on time and neatly lined up in a clean proper uniform or workout clothes.
I plan on putting everyone through hell. This training won't be easy but it can be fun.
I have faith in each and every one of you that we will be a better team, a stronger team.
Some of you have been picked to be on the away team. I will be doing a different type of training for you.

Ok now That I have laid everything out let's get started shall we. "Yes mam'm" everyone says.

"Ok let's start with some basic jumping jacks count them out with me. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23.24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31" She stops noticeing a ensign having trouble she walks over to them. " need help ensign?" ensign *out of breath* "no Mam'm" " ok" * walks to the front resuming the jumping Jack's till they reached 50. "Great work everyone now let's do some push ups everyone let's get into position. Ok great let's push them out. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 16, 17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30, I continue the count till 50. "Ok everyone you did a great job let's take a short break so everyone can get some water and rest a bit. I thought don't want to be to hard on them the first day. They are not used to being worked this hard but it will benefit them in the long run. I can already see how much some of them want to be better. I can also see some im going to have problems with I herd them wine and complain the whole time we were exercising. If they become a problem I will deal with them.
