After the meeting, I headed back to my bunk and sat down. I was still shocked by what happened today back on Rhen Var. That was a close call. This menacing Dark Acolyte was an actual tread to us. My men were not prepared to fight one of these sorcerers, or Jedi, or how they call themselves. I was never a big fan of them, not even General Kenobi, which was hyped as a war hero. They always lead us into battle without having the necessary training. It's easy for them with all their powers, but they forget to account for us—the real army of the republic. We are the ones who win the war and not the Jedi.

 

I remember back at the academy on Kamino. The regs were trained by this Jedi—Shaak Ti. She always treated them like children instead of warriors. I'm glad I'm part of the "experimental" class ARC troopers. Fenn "Cabur" Barlor taught us the ways of the ancient Mandalorian warriors. His teaching was very different from the ones for the regs. I doubt that without his lessons, I would have been able to get my whole squad unharmed out of this tomb.

 

Sometimes Fenn's teachings only begin to make sense when you need them. I remember how annoyed I was as he gave me this maintenance job.

 

"Get rid of all these Kaminoan crabs on the platforms. They disturb the aesthetics!!"

 

I thought this is some kind of punishment because I did not fulfill his expectations. These feisty little creatures crowded the whole place, and it was difficult, tedious, and painful work. There were tons of it, and as soon I tried to remove them with the broom Fenn gave me, they attacked me. After a hard day and having clamp marks all over my body, I realized this could not be the way to go. I need to change my strategy. So on the next day, I did not try to get rid of all of them at the same time.

I started to tackle each, yet so small, crab by itself. Of course, one on one, the crabs had no chance against me. Soon after two days, I did it. All the Kaminoan crabs were back in the sea.

 

But now I see his teaching behind this. The work may be difficult and may seem overwhelming, but even the most complex situation can be solved if you take small steps.
