OOC: I recommend patience. I understand you want to focus on instructing cadets and running the show. Again. Patience. For example I need to write the rest of the night, even if I time skip. I will not write a two sentence post and wash away the entire night. Detail rules the day. So instead of writing just to skip to the next thing, I recommend focusing on adding as many details as possible. We agreed to get through at least one day here and then get to the arrival of my cadets. Let me write and we will get to the next step when we do. Don’t just rush to get this done, or especially not just to get up to running the show. I’m already writing fairly terse, less detailed posts than usual because posting doesn’t have to be drawn out for something so simple and informal. But the entire point is still worldbuilding and storytelling.. Not just rushing through writing like some kind of game.

The sports were just a time for them to interact. Nobody was really keeping track, except for maybe the cadets themselves. They deserved time to relax after a fairly long day. The goal was building teamwork, more than trying to force some kind of tough atmosphere on the cadets. This was not basic training. From what the Blagorussian officers saw, many of the cadets had a lot to learn. They seemed to be here in a rush to compete and win, when they really needed to learn to rely on each other and help their team succeed. One of the major tenants of Blue Soviet soldiership is ‘selfless service’. Units fail when soldiers make their comrades competitors. This would be instructed to the cadets during day two of classes, as the cadre decided in their evening meeting.
As the night wore on and the cadets finished their last formation, the Soviet cadets continued along their flight. Some of them became rowdy, feeling free away from a fairly oppressive government. They shouted to each other and joked. Flying was rare for such young people.
The Bosnian cadets in Blagorgansk went to sleep early, with a shift of firewatch guard rotating between the cadets. Two cadets would be up every hour just to guard the general area. It was also meant to build discipline.
The Soviet flight would not arrive to Trad Bosnia until late in the morning. Yay then their counterparts would have already exercised. When the plane touched down, the Bosnians would be at a machine gun range. The Soviets already had a system of cadet ranks, with senior ones already forming their associates into formation. They stood in rows and columns waiting for the Bosnian cadre.
