I'm about to start my first day as a PL in a couple days. Does anyone have an interesting story about their first day as a Platoon Leader?

LT go grab the chemlight batteries and a box of grid squares from supply, then stop by maintenance for an I-D ten T form (ID10T)
Expect some banter and harassment take it with a grain of salt, clearly state your desire to learn from their experience.

My platoon ran away from me on Day 1. My PSG was gone and I was talking to the CO after first formation and he says "Is that your platoon running away?" Yes yes it was.

That's a good one. I've heard and seen quite a bit of new LT "events", but never that.
Thanks LT for a new idea..lol
