So was the group already there for three days, or only some of them? I'm writing it at the moment, but was wondering about that.

Well people have been arriving for the past three days. On the first it was mostly the chosen Lieutenants and NCOs that turned up, and the second was the vast majority of the others. The third day had the distribution of uniform and the final few conscripted arrived, so most individuals were putting on their uniform and malarkey.
