I need tips on teamwork, honestly. I just completed my third weekend of BMQ and I got my eval or whatever. The MCpl said my drill could be better but I‘m putting my full drive into it. What is unacceptable is my attitude and my teamwork. I responded saying how I was keeping a positive attitude and enjoying BMQ. The MCpl responded saying that was individual thinking and I need to stop doing that.
Now that I look at it, I do realize that I‘ve been thinking individually, without knowing it.
I usually keep to myself, have for the last 5 years, but I can work with people fine. I played hockey (goalie), was in cadets, cubs/scouts..you‘d think I know what teamwork is. I thought I did. I see though that by being alone, and being confident in myself, having few friends has made me more of an individual in the civy world.
I figured the best people to come to would be you guys since you‘re CF members, not some civy that doesn‘t understand the amount of teamwork required on the BMQ course.
I guess this post shows how much I‘m worrying about doing MY best on BMQ, but it just hit me that all this time I‘ve spent in civy life focused on myself has given me no aspect of teamwork.
Basically can you guys give me some advice on how to improve? I really am not sure what to do. The MCpl‘s said to volunteer more, and speak out more too. I do help people on their kit, and when they are not doing well during PT in the morning I motivate them.
I‘m glad I read the eval even though they told me I didn‘t have to.
Be tough on me if you want to.
Thanks.
