Monday, 21 February 2019. I'm starting to be a member of Garuda team.

"You!"(pointed at one of the members from third years). "You gonna be the commander this time, lead your group and don't make a mistake, ok?"

"Y-yes maam." (she's answering with nervous).

"Okay, you all go to the tank already prepared at there. Quick!" (pointed at the one big garage). "Yes maam!" Respond all members.

At the garage "Okay, this is our tank. First medium tank, three M4A1, four M4A3, and one M4A2. Next light tank, one M5 stuart and M3 Stuart. Medium tank have five crew.

"Y-yes maam!" and she's answering with nervous again.
