In the morning, at the military canteen, when everyone came in for their break, the general suddenly noticed that one of the sergeants had been injured during an incident, and what he did next amazed everyone.
In the morning, at the military canteen, when it was time for lunch, the soldiers, following the standard daily routine, gathered to eat.
That day, their highest commander — the general — joined them. He rarely had lunch with his subordinate officers. When the general entered the canteen, all conversations immediately stopped.
The general walked to the corner of the hall where the unit’s only female sergeant was standing. A bruise was visible on the sergeant’s cheek. Seeing this, the general approached her and asked: 😥😥
— Sergeant, is this the result of a training exercise?
— Yes, sir, — replied the female soldier.
The general, of course, didn’t believe her, because any incidents during exercises were always reported to him by the unit’s responsible officers. But he hadn’t heard anything about this one.
He ordered one of the officers nearby to escort the other soldiers out of the canteen.
The soldiers left the canteen, leaving the benches empty. The general sat down across from the sergeant and continued the conversation:
— Who did this?
Realizing that the general already understood everything, the woman told the truth. And what the general did after hearing her answer shocked everyone present.
To be continued. 👇👇👇
During the investigation, it was discovered that the bruise on the sergeant’s cheek was the result of an accident while transporting training equipment. One of the new recruits had been holding a heavy dummy incorrectly, and when it fell, it struck the sergeant.
No intentional violence or disciplinary violations were found. After receiving this information, the general wrote an official report and decided to organize additional safety training for all unit members.
The exercise documentation was reviewed, all participants of the incident were interviewed, and it was established that safety precautions had been followed, but a random mistake had caused the injury.
After that, the general ordered that control over the observance of safety rules be strengthened, that the new recruits undergo repeated training, and that supervision be ensured during all practical sessions.
Sergeant Claire Davis continued her service without any additional sanctions, and the base returned to its normal routine, now taking into account the new measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
