Hi all,
Swearing in is over. Our AC has spoken alot about his experiences from his life as an npcc officer or even cadet. Well, i surely hope that actually broden your views on npcc.
Alright, talk less about that. Im sure everyone is thinking about when you will be promoted am i right? Well i can tell you it will be sooon! Real soooon.. after ur exams! Seems cool and look cool with that one strip on your shoulder? Mhmm, yes in a way, but no so in another way. Look at it in this way, rank is not something that you use to show off. It is just something to show you and the people around you that you have grown up. Ever watched spiderman? Theres a line in the movie that is pretty much similar to this," with great power, comes great responsibility". Something similar to your rank. Being promoted, yes continue to keep up the high standard and keep on improving! Now it is the time for you to focus on your studies! Towards the end of the year, lets hope to have more fun installed for all the hardwork that those who are currently still here have put in.
All the best for your up coming examinations ahead!
Regards,
CI Jia Hao

Dear sec1s,
It is good to see the group of you staying strong and have been attending training for the pass almost one year. Be it that you accepct it as you cca or not, this is still your cca. If everyone here can put in effort to do what you need to do, it will be great. There is no need to repeat for what we are saying and doing. The classic example, doing drills and campcraft. Since you want to learn new drills, then you have to put in the effort to ensure that you do not forget what you have been taught. Isnt it great to do drills just once and move on? Like it was on friday, where your drills session only lasted merely for 30 mins (where you actually did your drills).
Meanwhile now, back to campcraft, you have to ensure that you know how to tie the basic knots. If you ask me why, i am more than happy to tell you why. Pitching a tent requires several knots. Let me list them down for those that you know.
Bowline,half hitch,clove hitch.
For those that you do not know, there is one very important one that is the "tent guy loop", not difficult if you do put in effort to learn. We will talk about it when we do have more time to actually explain on it.
One of the next thing I would like to highlight is regarding the way you talk to each and everyone of your squadmate. I do realise that some of you do not really talk nicely to one another. Remember and keep in mind that you guys will be squadmates for the next 3 years, or so. You will definitly need help from one another within this period of them. Do not think that because you are good now means that you are good in future. You never knows what the future is like and some days you need to rely on your squadmates.
Please put in constant effort to ensure that you know your stuffs well so that we do not need to waste time going thru thigns over and over again. Regarding responsibility, please start to learn to look after your own things well, better still that you can start to take care of each and everyone of your squadmates. I know that most of you come from a well protected family. Learn to be independent as you are all growing up. Remember the fish story? They cannot always give you a fish, you have to start learning.
At the back of your T-shirt, have you ever wonder what does those words means? Alright, i will explain again some other time when i am free, till now so far, see you guys on monday and make sure that you come prepared so that we can make the best out of training.
