What do you feel is most acceptable? Doing only as you're told, finding something to do and doing it, creating a training exercise from scratch and getting approval to run with it, or something else? Explain your answer
Also, if you are a leader of soldiers, which of these actions would you find most pleasing of your subordinates?

Initiative can be a double edge sword. I've been in the position where my FLL has given me kudos for my initiative, but had to counsel me for the boneheaded mistake I made. Time and resources will also dictate whether or not you do only as you are told or the other two. In the field, during a training exercise is not the time to implement new ideas unless you have previously discussed and rehearsed with your squad/team/section.
