​

Key Takeaways:

It was my first proper "office" working environment, working with peers, understudies, upper studies and bosses. The role was demanding and came with a lot of responsibilities and pressure. I understood how powerful MS excel was when needed to plan, track and forecast data of 1000 soldiers. The experience instilled a strong sense of discipline within me as I had to report and manage the company of soldiers daily while also doing my administrative work. I witnessed and learnt from the management style of high-ranking officers like army Majors and Lieutenant Colonels. I understood the relevance and importance of my role to the Battalion as I had to lead by example. Given these circumstances, I had to work diligently throughout the eight months. Thankfully, my efforts were recognized by my superiors and I was awarded a coin for my excellent conduct and behavior. I was really proud of my work and impact within the battalion. It was truly a sense of achievement.
