NDP Journey (Part 2):Nee Soon Camp

This to me is the toughest part of my NDP Journey.Hence to all the cadets who aspire to participate in NDP in 2011,I would suggest that you arrange your schedules carefully.

Just like in the Headquarter.We ought to report by 8 a.m.Subsequently become 8.30 a.m though.The training lasted from 9a.m.till 6p.m.It was the busiest time ,especially for the NCC contingent,since we were the leading contingent in this year's parade.We rehearsed for countless of times the sequence for marching into the parade ground.This was especially frustrating for those acting as the left and right marker in the first two rows since we were the leading front and we were the scapegoats for mistakes.It was also difficult to synchronize our turning time with the more experienced army contingent.We finally manage to do so By the time we reached Padang.

I suffered most of my ups and downs here.As in the past I would use my weekends to either rest,exercise or revise.However with my weekends being completely burnt out,I had to jumble exercise and revision with tuitions and councillor meetings on weekdays.I was rather frustrated and it kinda result in a mental breakdown for me.Hence I was really thankful when all of it ended.Though I was sad,as I made friends with cadets of other units,some of whom will be meeting me again in Senior Specialist Course.There are those who are now assuming the post of USM or ASM in their respective units.I also learn new commands and drills that I hope can be taught to the cadets,but let's save that for training and proceed with my final entry
