In this and probably in a lot of other work situations, that same advice scaled up might help a lot. Do what is asked of you simply at first, and while you do, do your absolute best to understand the alien new culture and system you are a part of now. Once you do, even a little... try to find something you can do that generates value, and thereby goodwill, for your organization and the people around you, and (especially for officers) STRINGENTLY avoid doing things that drain value or hurt others, even if they are tied to some high-minded ideal of discipline or whatnot. What *really* helps, and what *really* harms, with a focus on incremental steady progress. Do that valuable thing until it is easy for you. Once you have a good value loop, you've got a basis to work from, and you can start picking up new, useful things. Scale from there. You'll do great.

Maybe best to leave specifics off these boards, and my experience is US side, def not in armor, but -- advice in the same vein, would ask you to think about what big picture you would be accomplishing in garrison. Are you in a sleepy armor unit that will not deploy, trying to maintain a baseline of capability despite the boredom of garrison life? Then you may be trying to find ways to keep your folks sharp while still being limited by budget and resources. Hope they are ways that don't come off as miserable to your team. Or maybe you end up an armor officer sent elsewhere to train with other militaries, in which case you need people skills -- you are observing and reporting for your side, maybe helping others or learning from them, but really accomplishing an exchange and assessing how capable they are. Lots of recordskeeping and documentation to be done, regardless. Back to that value loop point -- if there's paperwork that everyone else hates, you can help them a lot by figuring it out and getting good at it. Once you're good at it, figuring out how to make that process suck less.
