 Raila Odinga and Oduor Ong'wen during the launch of the book 'Stronger than faith' written by Oduor Ong'wen. [Denis Kibuchi, Standard]

On top of the daily physical drills, parade, marching and salute that we daily practised to perfection, the second week saw the introduction of something new.

We were introduced to various battle formations. Starting with single file formation, double file formation, arrowhead formation, spearhead formation, and half-moon formation among others. This took two weeks to perfect and add to our repository of military knowledge.

As we practised various formations, the skills we had learnt in parades and marching started becoming handy. I came to an conclusion that no knowledge is useless.
