Today,

Sgt Louis was admitted into SGH , and is currently awaiting surgery for appendictis.

Let's all wish him the best for his sugery and a speedy recovery.

Benjamin and Shannon.

A is for AIRBORNE!

2006-08-07T23:30:00.000+08:00

Anybody interested in earning the wings?

NCC together with the SAF Commandos conducts this course once a year, where a selected few get to earn the prestigious Airborne wings. It is a SAF recognised badge, and you can wear this during your NS. Together with the diver badge, the Airborne badge is one of the most highly-regarded badges not just in NCC, but also in the SAF.

The basic airborne course (BAC) requires you to complete 3 day jumps and 2 night jumps (clean fatigue for NCC, not sure for the NSF or regulars).

Airborne is different from what you see in NDP parades, where it is a free fall, meaning you activate your chute after a certain amount of time. Airborne troopers (paratroopers) will have their chutes activated automatically after exiting the aircraft. You will only experience a few seconds of free fall before your canopy is fully opened.

Other than the NCC, the SAF Commandos conduct BAC for mainly regulars in the army as a confidence course.

Airborne is mandatory for the elites of the SAF, who are the Commandos. No Commando has no wings. Their Airborne badge is slightly different from a normal confidence badge. Commandos have Airborne badges with a red backing. This means they have to regularly jump to 'renew' their Airborne status.

This is important for them because Commandos are paratroopers, and their operations require them to be inserted via the air, unlike other vocations.

But be warned, many injuries have arose from bad landings.

For those who have had the guts to jump out of a perfectly working aircraft, though, they claim its 'the best feeling of their life'.

More info on Airborne can be found here and here.

THE AIRBORNE CREED

I am an Airborne trooper! A paratrooper!
I jump by parachute from any place in flight.
I volunteered to do it knowing well the hazards of my choice.
I am an elite trooper, a sky trooper, a shock trooper, an elite trooper.
I blaze the way to far-flung goals-behind, before, above the foe's front line.
I never find a fellow trooper I cherish as a sacred trust the lives of the men with whom I serve.
Leaders have my fullest loyalty, and those I lead never find me lacking.
I have pride in the Airborne.
I never let it down.
In peace I do not shirk the dullest duty nor protest the toughest training.
In battle I fear no foe's ability nor under-estimate his prowess, power and guile.
I fight him with all my might and skill-ever alert to evade capture or escape a trap.
I never surrender though I may be the last. I belong to a proud and glorious team......
the Airborne, the Army, my country.
I am a trooper of the sky!
I am my Nation's best. In peace and war I never fail.
Anywhere, anytime, in anything......
I am Airborne!

Thoughts by your CLT,

2006-08-01T17:42:00.000+08:00

Due to some circumstances, I regret to inform you that there will be a major overhaul in the POP procedures previously planned and made available for download to you.

There is still NCC training tomorrow, Wednesday, 2 August 2006. There will be a simple POP rehearsal, and I'm in charge.

Please come down promptly so we can all end early, preferrably before 5pm if everyone co-operates.

Sgt Shannon will post the details later this evening.

I am stepping down soon too (yayness!).

I want to tell you all this. If you have been with NCC long enough (6 years for me), you can certainly see it getting from good to bad to worse. It is not entirely your fault. Its a summation of factors which is mostly beyond yours, and even my, control. I cannot say it out here, but hope you get what I mean. Different people have different priorities; family, studies, work..etc. We can't blame their disinterest.

However, I challenge all of you at the end of your NCC career to look into the eyes of those juniors under your charge, and say that you have done your best for them.

If you are able to do so, congrats. NCC might not have benefited you, but those under you certainly have.

To all, the road ahead is exceptionally tough, but changes in our favour may come, and we can yet see light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm always available to my cadets through MSN, email or SMS.

CLT Benjamin.

Photos!

2006-07-16T15:48:00.000+08:00

Gentlemen,

I have uploaded 2 folders, the Annual Camp 2006 and Chalet photos into photobucket.

You can go view by clicking on the relevant link on the right bar...

I still got many photos, especially old ones like during trainings last year, and the affirmation ceremony 2004, which are this year's Part 'C's. (Yeah, you should have a good laugh at yourself back then =D).

Don't think I'll be uploading them though.. its private collection =X

Any others with other photos to share? Contact the blog admin and we'll have them uploaded.

Especially for the PDS and hopefully videos...

Past few days many visitors to the blog... please keep visiting..

Coming soon will be interesting quizzes where attractive prizes will be won!

I promise.

So check back soon,

=)

ANOTHER NEW POLL IS ADDED!

Have fun polling, guys!

Any one with interesting poll questions please approach me!

Shannon

New poll!

2006-07-07T17:58:00.000+08:00

From now on, there will be weekly polls to gather feedback from you guys.

The first of these polls is about changing how we address our platoons.

Alpha? Bravo? Charlie and Delta?

Maybe a time for a change, to freshen things up.

All ideas are welcome. Please scroll down and look to your right, the poll is there!

Reminder from CLT,

1) NCC Pledge recite together, loudly and clearly but do not rush. Shout extra loud the last 2 words : "OUR COUNTRY!".

2) Address your officers properly. When refering to him, address as RANK - NAME. E.g. CLT Benjamin. When saluting him, address as RANK-NAME-SALUTE. E.g. LT LEE, sir. or LT TEE, sir. DO NOT address as Sir Lee, Sir Zee or Sir Tee. That's only for knights in the UK, e.g. Sir Alex Ferguson.

3) From now on, any cadets who are late for fall-in will be punished by staying back for 30mins for an extra drills/PT session. Please inform your parents accordingly. Your names will also be recorded down. Repeat offenders will be sent to the school management.

4) In view of the high number of cadets who report sick during PTs, I urge all of you to keep yourself fit and healthy. Drink more water and workout regularly. Names of cadets who report sick will be recorded down and repeats in name will be dealt with seriously by the Officers. You will be referred to HOD CCA and/or medical personnels for certification immediately. A reminder, malingering, also known as 'keng' or acting sick, is a chargable offence in the SAF. Thus, NCC treats this very seriously.

5) Please enjoy your training more. Enjoy NCC! Come with a positive attitude and this 4/5 years will be the most enjoyable time in your life. I'm serious. =)

6) Please note our unit email address: xmsncc@yahoo.com Only the following personnels have access to the account : CO/TOs, CLTs, CSM. Do send your email, comments and feedback, encouragements (yes we do need encouragements!), complaints whatsoever here. We will address your concerns confidentially.

Have a nice weekend!

NCC DAY!

2006-06-29T23:17:00.002+08:00

Greeting guys!

Tomorrow is NCC day.
I wish to share with your the NCC day message of year 2006 from Dr Arthur Beng, Chairman NCC Council.

This year marks a significant moment in the history of the National Cadet Corps as we embark on our 105^th Anniversary celebrations. The NCC has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1901, with the setup of its very first boys’ unit. The NCC has grown from strength to strength into the dynamic and forward-looking youth organisation it is today by continually transforming itself and staying relevant amidst the changes in the broader national as well as educational landscape.
We are celebrating this landmark year with a renewed commitment towards serving the needs of our wider community. The NCC firmly believes in doing the best we can in contributing back to society. This year, we have partnered the Singapore Corporation of Rehabilitative Enterprises (SCORE) in our support of the Yellow Ribbon Project. Through this collaboration, our cadets would gain greater awareness of the issues surrounding ex-offenders and help to bring this heightened awareness to every member of the school community. An estimated 1200 cadets have already successfully carried out an island-wide public donation drive during the June vacation to help raise funds for the Yellow Ribbon Project. Today, all NCC cadets across Singapore will also be collecting funds within their schools in support of the Yellow Ribbon Fund. I sincerely urge all of you to join hands with the NCC and lend your generous support to our efforts in helping ex-offenders reintegrate into our society.
The NCC is also well equipped to meet new challenges that have arisen from the changes in the educational landscape. We are currently making great headway in terms of our “Training and Curriculum Transformation” which we started last year. In the area of Sea Training, we have successfully trained a pool of certified instructors to conduct 1-star kayaking courses for our cadets. This has brought about a quantum leap in the quality of our sea training resource as well as the utilization of our training centres. We have thus increased the training capacity of our Sea Training Centres such that they are now open to both Air and Land cadets for kayaking. This has given the NCC a boost in our efforts towards tri-service integration.
Similarly, in the area of air training, we have improved our capabilities in aero-modelling tremendously. From just two qualified trainers in 2004, we have successfully expanded this pool of highly specialised and valuable in-house instructors to more than 30 this year. This cadre of trainers are proficient not only in training our cadets in Line and Radio Control Flying, but also in the captivating art of the Indoor Flying Object or IFO. The programme is now open to Land and Sea cadets who are interested in learning this challenging skill. Having participated in local competitions last year, our Air element is now ready to take on the world arena, with their sights set on international air competitions. We will keep up the rapid pace in the improvement of our programme and continue in our quest for greater heights.
We have also embarked on an Associate Membership Scheme whereby groups of non-NCC students would be given opportunities to participate in and benefit from selected NCC activities. This scheme aims to broaden the school CCA experience of these students and contribute towards providing them with a more holistic education. This is yet another effort of the NCC to reach out to serve the needs of our school community.
As we reflect on what we have achieved together over the past year, I am heartened that even as we continue to push the boundaries in terms of our training capacity and quality of our programmes, we have not rested on our laurels and forgotten about our wider community to which we belong. May I take this opportunity to congratulate all officers and cadets for your valuable contributions to our society such as through the support of the Yellow Ribbon Fund, and I wish you an enriching and fulfilling journey with the NCC.
Dr Arthur Beng, Chairman NCC Council
