Too many of you are leaping without a plan for the landing. A leap is half a manoeuvre, recruits. The other half is the ground. We practise landing on all four feet, in order, left front first, with a quiet little flourish of the tail as if to say ‘I meant that’.
Tonight’s drill is the Soft Descent from the second stair. Corporal Pickle will count. Do not look at the stair. Look at the ground. Believe in the ground. The ground has never let you down, except for the times it did, and on those occasions you will pretend to wash a paw. This is called professional recovery, and it is on the syllabus.
