Dear sec2s,

Congrats to all for the effort put in in contribution to obtaining a gold unit for the unit once again. Regardless of doing it for yourself or for the unit give yourself a round of aplause. Do not expect rewards from anyone because this is your unit. The sense of achievement is the best reward that you can get. It is indeed a good way to start the year. Hopefully this year can be as fruitful as last year. To be frank, building up a gold unit is never easy. It works the same way as buiding a house. There are many steps to it. First, laying the foundation, slowly building up each brick by each brick. things may appear easy as they seem, but they never actually do. You will understand more when you get into the sec3 life.

Each and everyone of us have to grow up. Taking on responsibility is part of growing up. Being an IC/AIC is part of taking responsibility. To be someone successful in the future, we need to be able to take responsibility. Being an AIC or IC does not mean that you will be treated badly. Stress will come into play for sure as this is part of daily life. Knowing how to juggle stress with an apporiate amount of knowledge can save you in future. NPCC is nothing but a playground for your to learn your stuff well before you actually move on to the real world. This has always been what im looking at. You can make mistakes here, but make sure you learn from it. You can try anything funny here, but learn from the outcome. It is really a playground for you to pick yourself up when you fall. Unlike the real world, there is no chance given at all. Please start to understand that everyone is growing up, be it you see things happily and live happily or see things as a chore and live life sadly, its all up to you. Dont be afraid to let us know your problems as we are people that once went throught what you went throught. Things today are paved nicely into training program for you unlike our time where there wasant really anyone that bother much about training program.

I believe all of you have heard about news that some of you will not be making it back to NPAP. However, i would urge everyone that is not accecpt to not give up hope. Hopefully, they do not have enough cadets from other units and they require us to fill up the slot. Please do not give up hope as you can still try again when you are in sec3. Nobody likes such things to happen but when things happen, we will have to face it.

Icecream sales today seems like a good day, good job and continue to keep up the good work. Of cause not to be complacent. This will only make things worst. Campcraft please keep in mind what you need to do as the competition is on the 27 feb, week immediately after your CNY. BTW there is no campcraft comp training on the 12 of feb

Alright, have a mighty holiday ahead and may all of your pocket be filled with ang pow. Wishing you guys an advanced lunar new year.

Regard,
CI Jia Hao
