Discipline Diary
This is my discipline I will be using this diary to record my own personnel discipline throughout the following week highlighting my good points and the bad and allow me to make improvements when necessary. Before I begin this I am going to review my discipline that I had last year and see if I can highlight any areas that need improving and implement them to improve my discipline.
Reflection on Last Year
I believe personally that my discipline last year was really good and I had no real problems at all I have dived each good point into a separate sections

Uniform
I am very proud to say that I take pride in my uniform and I had to have had good discipline to make sure that It was pressed correctly meaning that the creases where in the correct place and that I looked smart. This can also be said for my boots you learn from very early on that no matter what public service you join you have to rely on your feet so you need to make sure that your foot wear is clean and serviceable which is what I did and I made sure that my toe caps whereas bulled as I could get them.

As a result of this I passed all my uniform inspections with no problems if however I had been undisciplined and gone to bed and had an eerily nigh instead of putting in the effort I would have failed my uniform inspections and probably failed linnet clough.
Time Keeping
Time keeping was another very important self-discipline to have and linnet demonstrates to you how important time keeping is in a uniformed service environment for example if the platoon sergeant says the bridge that we are crossing will be blown at 04:45 and we arrive at 04:55 we will have misses our timings. If we were late or an individual was late the whole group received collective punishment which shadows a uniformed service environment this not only learned that we had to keep on top of our time keeping but it allowed us as a team to develop and further develop or teambuilding skills. If we continually had poor time keeping then we would have forfeited a part of our uniform and we needed a complete uniform to pass out of linnet Clough.
Team Discipline and Moral
This is really important not only in a uniformed service environment but also in any work place. You have to have good discipline to maintain moral and get along within a group. In my group last year we were fantastic we worked so hard together and always achieved the best results but in small confined spaces and the most minimal amount of time and not a lot of sleep like at linnet clough which yet again shadows a service environment tempers can rise and people can become irritated this is known in Tuckmans stages of team development as storming. We created a fantastic working group and made some awesome friendships.
Drill
Before I began my level three courses I was a member of the army cadet force which made me very proficient in drill. I used my own personnel self discpline to help others I could on the on the other hand have been big headed and said “oh I already know this” but I did not I liked helping my team mates which really boosted team spirit. This is an extract from the army dill manual “the Aim and purpose of drill is install discipline and to provide the basis of teamwork” drill taught me and others in my section that drill installs personal discipline it means that we are all uniformed and that we all conform and that is a very important element in service life. An example of this can be in the Royal Air Force Regiments Queens Colour Squadron as seen in the YouTube clip if those airmen decided to break into their own routine then the whole demonstration would be a failure that is a classic example of team and self-discipline.
College after Linnet Clough
Uniform
Like linnet clough I made sure that uniform was washed and presses every day that I was college this included my boots I made sure that my boots where always where clean and bulled and this gave me a real pride in my appearance =) the only thing that I could have improve is I sometimes left it until the morning to iron my uniform which put me in a bit of a rush. Whereas if I had done them the night before I could have got ready in perfect ease well I will be definitely getting my admin squared away this year.
Lesson Timings
Having the discipline to arrive on lessons on time is showing manners and courtesy not only for the instructor/ lecture but for other members in my group. It prepares you for job interviews and even getting to work on time. I had good punctuality last year And intend to keep it up this year.
Assignments
Assignments have played an important role this year well like they do in all forms of education I am very pleased with my assingment discipline this year because I made sure that I completed all my assignments to the highest level and handed them in on time on the date specified.
But on one occasion that I had a moment of madness and left and assignment to the last minute and as a result I and had to stay up late all weekend after finishing my weekend job yep realty slapping me in the face in order to complete it. From then on I have made sure that I complete all my work well before it is due for hand in.Attendance
My attendance would good last year the only time it was affected was when we had the snow that was the only time I was off. I really enjoy college and if I’m ill I get really angry because I want to be at college I will keep my good attendance up this year as well. Attendance is really good discipline to have because it shows how dedicated an individual is to potential employers.
Fitness
My fitness was good last year apart from my P.T sessions did not relay do much in my spare time apart from the odd run or gym session this started to take on a knock on effected so I went out running more went to the gym more and my fitness has rapidly improved I have also cut out all the rubbish out of my diet and feel better now I am very pleased that in the holidays I did not let the ball slip I maintained my fitness and am looked forward to out PT sessions starting again soon. The public service I wish to join the RAF Regimen you have to have a very high standard of fitness so I will keep trying to improve my fitness.
Attitude
I am very with my attitude this year and I consider it one of my strong points. I have been going through a stressful time these past few months but even so I have kept smiling and kept a positive attitude whilst at college because let’s be honest no one likes a depressing person because that can bring team moral down so by me staying positive helps work tawdry creating a positive environment.
Discipline outside of college
My discipline outside of college is half and half in some cases and relay well-disciplined and in others I am not. For example getting ready for work and getting to work on time I’m very well disciplined but little tasks like washing the pots I leave them to the last minute and keep putting it off. In regards to my personnel appearance I’m still much disciplined I make sure if I am going out ill have a shave and that all my clothes are ironed.
This is a two sided coin my mum has recently left and I have had to become more disciplined at home which I see as a postaive which means that I no longer leave things to the last minute and have become more organized and disciplined which has restored some form of normality into my life at home. But ones thing is for sure I am happy that I am back with my friends back at college
