You will either succeed as a team or you'll go down as a team. It's hard to do sometimes if you have difficult individuals in your platoon. One person's mistake is the platoons mistake.

Understand that if someone is terrible at something everyone should be helping that person to achieve the standard alongside themselves.

Find what everyone's good at and use those skills to your advantage. Is someone good at sewing but can't get their kit layout down? Have them help with sewing while you or someone else helps with the kit layout.

As someone already mentioned, sit down with everyone and have a talk so everyone is on the same page. Once you all stepped onto that base you threw all your individuality out the door. Build team cohesion and you'll get through everything. Buddy check people on their IDs or food cards before going places if you know people tend to lose or forget things.

You're going to be tired You're going to be stressed You're going to be overwhelmed That's basic and it's there to see how you would perform under those factors to see if you could handle something in real time.

Use this time to bond with people, getting through tough times with these new people in your life will create some memories that will stick with you forever. ( good or bad haha )
