Greetings

Firstly i would like to Congratulate all the Part Bs for being Promoted to Lance Corporal(LCP)! Remember what I told you guys during training just now. With this new Rank, comes new responsibilities. It will not be long until you guys hold Specialist Ranks and Run the UNIT! This rank symbolizes Seniority and at the same time Juniority in the Unit and The Corps. You guys play a part in the unit as a Senior to the oncoming Part A cadets by showing them the conduct of being a Junior(cadet undergoing training).

Also take note that you guys are heading to NCC HQ next Wednesday for Camp STEEL! When you guys are there, please be at you tip top performance level as you are representing the SCHOOL and The UNIT!

A little joke: This is from my Facebook Page

Me: After 4 Years of Renovation. The new and improved BSS Basha is now a 5 STAR HOTEL! in can fit up to 5 soldiers and is equipped wif Beds, Pillows and A TOILET!:D

Ronald: We will be working on building a sauna, jacuzzi, gym and many more!

Well, okay. I was bored when i came home after training. Next Friday - Combined UG Hike to Esplanade! it will be piece of cake since all of you went through the hike from School to Bukit Timah hill Last Year(:

C/2LT Ashraf

Congratulations!

2011-01-10T10:32:00.002+08:00

Hi everyone,

I felt an immense sense of pride when I watched you guys perform on Saturday. This sense of pride comes from knowing that this came from YOUR effort, not mine. Honestly, after a busy year of teaching, I totally switched myself off NCC in December. Thankfully, our dedicated CLTs Ashraf, Vignesh and Kangzhi, together with AI Jia Wei stepped in. They put in many hours of their own time to train our guys. Thank you very much, I really appreciate that!

In my opinion, the PDS team has done very well! They have built up on the experience of past batches, learnt from their mistakes and put up a great performance. I can see the dedication and hardwork that you have put in. I hope this has been a good experience for you as you learnt to overcome your own fears and focus your mind on doing something. Really, anything is possible if you set your mind to it!

Guys, once again I thank you for your fine performance. You have a nice week ahead:)

A Job Well Done

2011-01-09T22:45:00.003+08:00

A note from my Facebook:

Im so proud of BSS NCC! You guys did a FANTASTIC job! be it, PDS, Contingent, helping out in the booth, or just screaming at people as they enter our booth, you guys were awesome. This just shows one thing: we can acheive greater heights with more commitment to our unit and by putting in such great amount of effort like how you guys did for this Orientation. A great start for our Unit this year! REMEMBER that this does not ends here, in fact this is only the beginning for us to go higher=) CHEERS!

NCC Shirt

2010-12-27T23:41:00.005+08:00

Okay guys, I know we've been waiting for ages to get a unit shirt.
But i assure you guys that the cadet cadet officers have been working very hard to find suitable vendors and we finally found it!

They have agreed to let us print full body print. Means we can have big designs on the side of shirts etc like this shirt here.

As you can see the print is big and on the side. It'll be much unique then normal printing of NCC crest on the left chest and some A4 size design on the back. Instead i have came out with rough designs. Here are few examples.

Yup. So this are the several prints i can think of! yea i know its all pictures of SAF soldiers and not NCC. But i don't know, some of u guys may like it? Let us know ur views!

A short message for all the PDS trainees:

Thanks to those who came down for PDS training on Monday! I know PDS is really something very new and complex. But i'm sure if other cadets from other school can do it, there is no reason why we can't. We are in this together both the instructors and trainees. And we will pull our way through to make an amazing performance next year!:)

Those who didn't turn up on Monday but wish to take up PDS can still attend tomorrow's training. However, I will NOT be slowing down my pace and will not teach the 8 drills that was taught on Monday. You will have to learn these 8 drills from your fellow cadets!

These are the drills that was taught on Monday:

Vertical Slope arm (4+1)
Diagonal Slope arm (6+1)
Vertical order arm (4+1)
Diagonal order arm (4+1)

Slow Markal (16+1)
Sungfoo arm (14+1)
Balancing arm (16+1)
Popeye arm (12+1)

There may Not be any PDS training NEXT WEEK. As I am deployed for Camp Pinnacle in NCC HQ.
I will inform all of you of the plans tomorrow.
See you guys!

ICEP 2010:Dessert Trekking India

2010-11-22T21:00:00.000+08:00

On the 9th of November 2010,9 cadets,1 cadet officer and two Teacher Officer assembled at the Changi Airport to embark on a 12 days journey to a foreign land far from our safe haven.Along the way we found companionship from unexpected people,unforgettable knowledge which will live on in both our hearts and minds for the rest of our lives in the land of smiles and culture,India.

New Delhi:

After our five hours ride from Singapore to New Delhi,we were brought to the Indian NCC headquarters.There,we were greeted by the Director General,Colonel Chandra.This was a very delightful and unexpected surprise as we were greeted by an officer of such a high distinction despite being only a group of students and teachers.We also met our Kazakhstan counterpart.Despite their imposing figures and cold persona.They were in fact,amiable and lively individuals and this serve as an ice breaking platform,as we associate with them more in the coming days.

Jasalmer:

In the evening of the first day.We went on board a train as we proceeded to Jasalmer,a city located in the state of Rajasthan,where we spent most of our times in India.We met with a very exotic and strange creature,Camels.It might only been an animal,but our days riding them taught us a better appreciation of fellow living creatures.The camels too,possessed emotion and we as the riders, need a better co-operation and understanding to gain their trust,hence allowing us to ride them as the way we desire it to be.

We also met our Indian NCC counterpart,who really carry out their roles as ambassadors of their nation graciously.After seeing the Indian cadets,we gain a greater height of passion and enthusiasm for the NCC,we initially thought that what we have done is enough,but after our interaction with the Indian NCC cadets and seeing them train,we realize how far behind we were and of the need to gear up.

Overall,the ICEP 2010:Dessert Trekking India,was certainly a once in a lifetime experience.Not only do we learn of history and culture from the only nation where 183 tongues were spoken,but in the far land of India we learn of the hazards and experiences that will mould us into better individuals who can make our love ones proud

As year end is approaching, and the holidays are coming, i have planned to start this year's preaparation for Orientation 2011 early. I will start With PDS.

I am going to Post up videos on the Basic 19 drills of PDS on the blog this holidays so that you guys may practice on your own at home. These 19 drills are required for certification to get a Basic PDS badge.

I will set up training for PDS regularly and will set a date for a test for those who are interested in getting the badge.

As for Next year's orientation performance, i will require 10 cadets who passed the test to perform next year on stage. Note that the test will be at the end of November so that we can practice for our performance in the whole month of December.

For any enquiries or suggestions, please leave a message on the tagboard. Thanks:)

NDP Journey (Part 3):Padang

2010-08-22T11:07:00.000+08:00

This is the last part of my NDP journey.The third location is at the actual parade ground and it has such a significant value to us as we stood on the ground where the inaugural NDP took place.It was still like the first two locations.We reported to the NCC headquarter by 8.30 a.m and we would depart for training by 9a.m.Upon arrival at the resting area,the F1 pit.We would be having our lunch which usually varies from KFC to Pizza Hut or even NDP's signature chicken and Potato.We are usually given a few hours,then we would proceed for the first rehearsal of the day at Padang in our NDP shirt .No disrespected intended,however this is the least anticipated part of the day,especially when the weather is humid.many people would fall out of this and usually only some will return for the evening rehearsal.Comically , NCDCC is the only UG that doesn't fall out during the first rehearsal but most would dropped down during the actual thing.

My contingent would also create some of the most memorable habit while we were marching from the F1 pit to the Padang area.Most notably stomping the ground in rhythm while the military band is playing the drum, I called it the NDP stomp.The other is the 'badge press',which involved punching cadets on either their Marksman badge,an FDS or PDS badge.So those of you who got these badges and hoping to go for NDP next year,prepare a shirt inside your uniform

After dinner which usually started at 5 p.m.We would change back to our number 4 and from NE show 1 till the actual event itself,our number 3 .It was pretty much the same,some would even skipped training due to the repetitive pattern,however many would endure this,as we are given three chances.Once we skipped training thrice,we would be put as reserves and I was certainly thankful that I only used my chance twice (both due to family matter).Since no one on the reserve list gets to actually appear on the parade ground on the actual day itself.

We would usually end the day with a march around the Marina Bay.Though they discontinued it till the preview show and the actual NDP itself.We would stop in front of the integrated resort where we will be watching the fireworks.On our way back,we would usually sing and cheered till we reached our destination.Hence even though it was the most tiring its the part of the day we looked forward to the most.

My experience in NDP is something that I will cherish throughout my life as an NCC cadet.There I learn to overcome diversity to achieve success.I learn new stuffs and met amazing people and I hope the cadets will get to join in next year's celebration.

NDP Journey (Part 2):Nee Soon Camp

2010-08-22T10:27:00.000+08:00

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

NDP Journey (Part 1):NCC Headquarters

2010-08-22T10:00:00.000+08:00

Greetings to all current and former BSS NCC cadets

This will be a three-part entry on the months leading up to the National Day Parade.The five months long journey started a day after my Specialist course .Cadets from all the five districts assembled there(East,West,Central,Air and Sea).All of us were first gathered in MPH(Multi Purpose Hall),before the talk by NCC Sergeant Major,Senior Warrant Officer, Christopher Bryan De Silva.The day stated with an announcement that there will be a test.Naturally the East and West district Cadets(including myself)heaved our chest up,since the fatique from Spec Course still remain,but we ended up complaining instead.It was announced that all the cadets who were below 160 Cm to stand up.Then SM announced"All those who are still sitting now,You have passed the first test".Naturally I ended up falling comically

The second part of the test was marching test we were separated randomly in 9 different squads.Our marching test was conducted by an SAF officer.It was rather difficult at first since all of us were either from the East or West district and most of us were still tired ,luckily we managed to pass.

The rest of the time at the HQ was the same.We need to report in by 8am and we march all the way till 11am.There were also plenty of breaks in between,however this is just the beginning and the easiest part of NDP.

Dear Specialists of 2010,

Due to the feedbacks i get from your seniors, i will be conducting extra trainings to train your ethics as a specialist. Trainings will be conducted by the Cadet Officers mainly, and being absent will bring you no gain. Your absence will strictly be looked into.

Planned dates of trainings will be on:
Saturday, 7am to 12 noon.
Assemble outside NCC store.
Late comers will be severely punished.
(TRAINING DATES HAVE NOT BEEN CONFIRMED)
Official date of training will be announced on a later date. Please check the blog for it.

Content of training:
-Specialists' Ethics
-All Drills
-Physical Training
-Discussion about normal tranings, etc.

Please alert me at 9185 5652 if you are unable to attend training.

See you,

New Layout

2010-04-25T22:36:00.000+08:00

It seems that I create new layouts for new batches of Specialist. I think I will change it with every new batch then. Next time maybe I can also consider getting the Specialists to give comments, like how they want it to be like. This time, I also have the help from C/OFFR Muhd Ashraf to do some parts, like he got the pictures to put on the blog, to make it look not so dull.

Anyway, as you can see, this layout is more vibrant with much more colours than the grey background used for the past year or so. So do take some time to complete the POLL on the first section on the left hand side of the blog to indicate which one you like more. Poll closes 16 May 2010, 2359hrs.

Please also include any feedbacks in the Tagboard and if any part of the blog is not working, please also do let us know through the Tagboard.

Please remember to constantly check the blog for any updates, and to Ace and Zac, please keep the blog alive by posting events or training on it.

Good luck for your upcoming exams and may you achieve success, just like Bendemeer NCC, scaling to greater heights!

Best Wishes

Information for all PART C Cadets.

2010-04-17T02:16:00.000+08:00

Dear part C cadets,

Congratulations on running the unit for the 1st time.

Last week our CO wrote down 10 things that we should take note of.

Due to some casualties, the notes were lost.

However I can remember some of them and will write them down here.

ALL PART C CADETS PLEASE TAKE NOTE!

1. No unnecessary punishment of cadets.

We are not allowed to 'tekan' cadets too much as well as to punish them

without reason whatsoever.

However, you can do it during uniform inspection.

2. No watches in parades.

Watches are not allowed in parades.

All part C cadets are reminded to get a watch or time keeping device.

3. Try to voice out.

Part C cadets are reminded to use the best of their 'voice' during training.

This is to ensure that our cadets can hear us. :)

4. Lead by example.

Ensure you are during all the correct things.

5. Make sure your attires are neat.

We will conduct our own uniform attire before every training.

Part C cadets are reminded to change earlier every training.

6. Serve with pride and dedication!

We are suppose to serve with pride and dedication.

We have now taken over the unit and we should do a good job

on running it.

Do your very best :)

7. Be punctual.

Be on time for every training.

Nobody likes to wait all the time.

That is all I can remember for now, feel free to text me if anyone of you can remember

what the CO wrote on the board that day.

Once again, congratulations on a job well done part Cs

Cheers

Dear NCC mates,

Poly term will start in a matter of days and i will not be able to come down as often. I would like to offer my most sincere apology, and a big thank you to all NCC cadets, specialists, passed-out seniors, my very own batch, pass cadet officers and of course, the teacher officers.

Thank you guys for making my NCC lfe full of colours and filling my life with much entertainment and alot to look forward to every friday. Fridays to me seems like the best days where more and more bonds are being forged each week. Thank you, thank you. And, thank you!

NCC will be the best memory that i will have in my entire life.

However, i will try my best to head down to bendemeer whenever i am free. My friday will end at 5pm and thus, attending trainings will be tough. And, to all my beloved juniors, please update me with recent activities and do ask me for opinions or advices. I would LOVE to provide you with what i know.

For new specialists, you can contact me at 9185 5652 for any enquires.

Best wishes,

Layout of Blog

2010-04-15T23:17:00.000+08:00

As you can see, the layout of the blog is different from the previous one. I think I pressed the wrong thing and the whole thing went haywire. Bear with this for the moment while I promise to get the blog up and good-looking again over the weekend. Thank you for your patience and remember to check the blog for constant updates.

CBox is still functioning so please continue to check the tagboard.

On another note, I would like to wish all Part Cs taking their first training tomorrow all the best. It would be an experience like no other. Treasure it, and I hope to see a good show tomorrow. I will be down to observe you guys. To Acting USM especially, it is your first muster parade, do it with pride! Thats all! Good luck once again.

Bendemeer NCC Alumni

2010-04-12T19:03:00.000+08:00

ATTENTION ALL EX-SPECIALISTS OF BENDEMEER NCC

Our teacher officer 2LT Jerry Seah together with the current batch of Cadet officers would like to form an Alumni in our unit. These group of people will be known as Honourary Instructors(HI).

The aim of having an Alumni is for ex-bendemeer Specialist who wants to come back to serve the school unit and have a specific jobscope. To avoid any miscommunications between the specialists and Inchiks. The cadet officers will be planning a mentoring scheme for the specialist and we need YOUR HELP in order carry this out.

At any point during a cadet's NCC journey, being a specialist and taking over the unit is the BIGGEST turning point of the cadet's life in NCC. This is when the cadet will take on the responsibility of being a LEADER. At the end of this 4 years, we hope that cadets will be able to rise up to any challenge and to be a balanced student, excel both in NCC and in School.

The duties of a HI is to mentor these specialist and guide them through their journey taking over the unit. Every training that The Specialists conduct may or may not be a successful one. We need you to motivate them and make sure they bring back values and better understand their strengths and weaknesses.

Currently I'm planning to have around 6~8 HIs. We are also planning to have a shirt for the Alumni. Tagline will be "Bendemeer NCC Alumni (Honourary Instructor/Cadet Officer)". We are looking for ex-specialists who are committed to the corps and wants to bring Bendemeer NCC to greater heights. This is not just for the glory of the unit, but we hope this system will benefit the cadets more. Your support will really be appreciated.

If you are interested please give me a call 96738916 or leave me a text message.

We must prove ourselves worthy!

2010-03-04T21:31:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone,

I could not believe my eyes when I opened the mail attachment containing the BUC results yesterday. In bold were the words "GOLD". I thought it was some kind of mistake; so Mr Tay and myself actually sat down to total up our scores. In the end, we found that there was nothing wrong with the results. We are now officially a GOLD unit.

Honestly, I was initially embarassed because I felt that we did not deserve it. Every time I go for a HQ activity, I see the Anglican, Holy Innocents, Victoria cadets carrying themselves very well; uniform smart and tidy, no excess movement in the file. They are the perfect example of how cadets from a GOLD unit ought to behave. When I compare them with BSS NCC cadets, we are really light years away from that standard. So how can we ever be a GOLD unit?

But then I thought a bit more, and realised that I have been belittling the efforts that everyone in the unit have been putting in. Though our discipline may not be up to that standard yet.......everyone.....YES, EVERYONE, from teacher officers to cadet officers to the Part Ds and finally cadets have been putting in effort throughout the year to make GOLD a reality for us.

Off hand, let me jog you through some of the important milestones of 2009.

- our first PD drill squad and performance during Orientation
- our first freestyle drill squad which put up an excellent performance at the competition, though we returned empty handed
- the hike during the unit camp which took us from school to top of Bt. Timah hill
- our cadets who form the bulk of the new YSF
- our 2 Part C cadets who participated at NDP
-our Part C shooters who emerged one of the top shooting teams at the annual comp
- our second annual trg camp for part Bs in Nov

Looking at all the things stated above, I have to say that YES! WE DESERVE IT!

I really hope that the GOLD will inspire us to work harder and not rest on our laurels. From now on, we better start behaving and carrying ourselves like a GOLD unit.

I just want to thank every single one of you for this award is not possible without your effort.

CO

My Ironman Journey

2010-02-22T19:54:00.001+08:00

Hi everyone,

I will not be around for training this Friday because I will be away in Langkawi to take part in the Ironman triathlon.

The Ironman triathlon is a 3.8k swim, 180k bike, 42.2k run event that I have been fascinated with ever since I was a kid. It is probably the toughest single day sporting event in the world.

Do visit my blog at http://www.iron-law.blogspot.com/ , which talks about my training and other experiences. I hope that this blog will motivate all of you to live a healthy and active life, and to never let go of your dreams.

Take care,

India Republic Day Celebrations 2010

2010-02-04T22:41:00.000+08:00

IRD is probably the most prestigious course to go to in my opinion. Not wallaby, not thunder warrior or Crusendo. We had lots of fun during my 13-day stay in India. As most of you would know, India is in fact one of the poorest countries in the world but their culture, food, and historical venues will definitely take you to a whole new level! On the first day, we didn't do much but only went for shopping. We also visited one of the museums which they had in the place that we stayed. India is totally different from Singapore. In the morning, temperatures can drop to almost 8 degrees. And in the afternoon, it goes all the way up to 32 to 35 degrees. So it did took me quite a while to get use to the climate there. Sometimes there would be fogs and visibility can only be up to 30-50 metres!

On the second day in New Delhi, we went to the capital's museum and got a tour around it. It was interesting to see the 17-18th century artefacts that were placed there. Some of them could make you a millionaire! It was that valuable. We also got to see a horse show performed by the Indian Cadets. They were excellent and they had great skill in handling the horses. The horse show lasted about 20-30 minutes.

Oh yeah. Singapore wasn't the only country there. You see, we were part of the YEP (Youth Exchange Programme). So there were other countries as well such as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Maldives, Vietnam, Russia and Nepal. We mingled around with them except the russians (because they didn't know how to speak English). I was really looking forward to the fourth day, as we were going to Agra. Obviously, there is a famous national monument and is one of the 7-wonders-of-the-world. The Taj Mahal. It was really beautiful and I was in awe of it. I was really thankful to finally get to see the Taj Mahal. We also went in to see the tomb of Shah Jahan and his wife. We were not allowed to take any photos inside but I secretly took some, without anyone knowing.

After Agra, we went to Jaipur. Jaipur was the place I hated most as I suffered Diahorrea. It was serious and I had to take some pills to ease off. When we came back to New Delhi, we had to rehearse for the March Past in the PM Rally. We did this for two days, and also did some shopping. The next night was the night where we had dinner with the DG Of the Indian NCC, and the food there was truly scrumptious. That was also the night where I shook hands with the Defence Minister and the Commandant of NCC, LTC Adrian Koh. It was truly a great honor. Moreover, he was very kind and spoke to us pleasantly. On one of the days, we also had a cultural performance in front of all the YEP Cadets, Officers, and the Indian NCC cadets. We were dressed in our ethnic costumes (I wore a baju) and we did a performance on Di Tanjong Katong and Di Mana Dia. The best part was when we were doing the performance on Di mana Dia. When it came to the Chan Mali Chan, Hoi Hoi part, all the Indian NCC cadets and even some of the officers were echoing Hoi Hoi after us. I could swear that Commandant was laughing his guts out. And please don't ask me how they knew the Hoi Hoi part. I too am still trying to figure that out.

On Wednesday of the second week in India, we went to the IRD. Security was very tight as there were suspicions of terrorist attacks. And just for your info, 6 prisoners had escaped from prison just before the parade.The parade was great and we got to see over 30-40 contingents marching past us. They also displayed some of their weapons which were truly huge and remarkable! The whole parade lasted for about 2.5 hours.

We, the YEP cadets, also visited the president's house to have tea. It was a great experience to get to see the place that she lived in. Yes, the president of India is a lady. After that we took part in a march past in the PM's Rally, and we got to see the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, upclose. We had to tilt our heads while marching, and he saluted us in response. Later afterwords, we went to the the place that he lived at and had tea there as well. On the last night, it was sad, as some of us had difficulties in leaving our new found friends behind. We exchanged phone numbers, E-Mail addresses and promised to stay in touch.

So that pretty much raps up the whole trip. There's plenty more, but I'm afraid that I just can't remember the exact details. ALL the cadets that were there were really kind and gentle. They really liked us a lot. Especially the Indian cadets. We had lots of chances to talk to them and they were extremely friendly. The next cadet from bendemeer who goes for this trip, is gonna have a great time. I hope to go there once again.

Here are some pics of the trip:

Yours truly,
YEP Cadet SSG Thinesh John,

Outward Bound Sabah

2010-01-17T19:55:00.000+08:00

During the holidays, i went to OBS sabah for a 12 day expedition. There were 3 expeditions, the kayaking expedition, sailing expedition and the Crocker range expedition.

Kayaking expedition

We were split into groups and my group name was Mat Salleh, a group named after a Legendary warrior. So before we set of for the kayaking expedition, we were given basic supplies such as water, cooking ingredients and ground sheets for the expedition, we were responsible for our own group's item. so we set off for the expedition early in the morning. before that we were taught the basics of kayaking, we were paired up and used the double kayak. The kayaking was tough, we had to kayak against the waves and many of us got sea sick. After 3 hours of kayaking, we reached the destination and were faced with one more challenge, to get to shore, we had to get to the beach without capsizing in the break water, the waves were huge and violent so me and my partner capsized along with the rest of my group members. As soon as we reached our camp site, we had to prepare food,fire and the tent before it gets dark. We had to use the machete to cut our own wood for fire. So in the night we were told many stories by our instructor.Sleeping was near impossible as we were being bitten by mosquitoes and millipides so we spent only a few hours sleeping.The next morning we had to kayak in the river, we had to kayak upstream, it was really demoralising when we went into the swamps, there were ALOT of mosquitoes and spiders and they would often go into the kayak and bite. And the smell was terrible, the water was terrible too. After a few hours in the swamp we finnally reached the huge resevoir, the water was soo fresh that we could just drink it, so we ended our kayakng expedition soon after reaching a village and we were picked up to the OBS head quarters by a small bus.

Sailing Expedition
Before going on the expedition, we were briefed on the different parts of the sailboat and on how to move the sailboat, our sailboat was a 'Whaler' a sailboat that could fit 12 people. So we had to plan our own course to go to an island. However, there was very little wind so we had to row all the way to the island, on the island our centreboard got stuck in the corals so we had to swim to shore. The water was beautifull and there was alot of beautifull corals. Despite being warned about the jellyfish, one of my group member got stung by one.So we had to prepare for the night. We were unprepared, there was a storm and we tried our best to keep the fire alive by sheltering the fire with our groundsheet but the wind was too strong, we were freezing, because of the rain and the strong winds, our intructors told us to wear our lifejacket to keep warm, it worked but it was still cold. We had our dinner in the freezing rain. When the storm subsided, we soaked and our tents were soaked too. The night was far more worst, we were being bitten by sand flies and some weird insect so once again, sleeping was near impossible.In the morning, we had very little for our breakfast because our food supplies were soaked and we couldnt use them as they were damaged by the storm. so we had to row back to OBS headquarters.

Crocker range Expedition
Crocker range is the name of a range in Sabah, its soo long that it takes a few months if one wants to really hike the whole range. But we only hiked for 4 days before going back to the OBS headquarters. The hike was very very very very very challenging, both mentally and physically, we were faced with many challenges such as the risk of getting lost and wild animals such as, wild dogs,snakes and spiders which we had encountered during the hikes. The scenery was beautifull, and at night, it was freezing cold as it was 6000ft above sea level, we also faced challenges such as collecting firewood and the rationing of food. We passed by a few villages and we got to know them too, they were friendly and welcoming, we even did batter trade with them.Sabah, to me is the best place that i have ever been to.

My sincere apologises.

2009-12-08T21:37:00.000+08:00

Dear Part Cs' 2009,

I understand that there is some, little unhappiness growing in the Part Cs towards the future CLTs. To smoothen out our relationship and to boost our Bendemeer NCC standard, i wish to eliminate any grudges and clear all doubts.

Firstly, there are several reasons why the future CLTs have planned the Orientation Day 2009 nicely for you guys.

Whether personal or not, if you guys really want to know, do let me know and i will explain fully on why. Contact CDT Ronald via msn, or text. Yes, many posts that you guys anticipate yourself doing may be shattered when we told you that we will be using swords and color poles, meaning only a certified NCC Cadet Officer or higher may take up this post.

From what I hear, i understand that this will be your chance to show your planning skills but i would like to apologise sincerely and that we will do most of the plannings and we are sorry for disappointing you guys.

But rest assured, we will make Orientation Day 2009 a big hit! And, your juniors in Part A next year will be carefully guided and taught.

May BS NCC be on the right track to the road to GOLD!

Best Wishes,
Cadet Trainee Ronald Thian
Former BS NCC Specialist

Orientation 2010

2009-12-05T17:20:00.000+08:00

Okay guys, the Future Cadet Officers have planned roughly what we want to showcase on orientation day...

For the performance, we planned to have the same thing as last year.

We plan to have a Parade Commander, 2x Armed Escort, 1 NCC Flag bearer, 1 Colours RSM.
These people will be wearing no.1 Uniform. Parade Commander and Flag Bearer will be a CLT as we will be using swords and Colour pole (with pike). The colours RSM will most probably be SSG Thinesh John as he holds the brown pace stick. The post for 2 armed escorts is vacant. All specialist may apply.

For PDS, SSG Sholihin and SSG Alvin Kan will be in-charge as both of them has the experience from performing for last year's orientation. CDT Vignesh together with myself will be the instructors to train more people for PDS. We planning to have 10 people in this performance (incl. Sholihin and Alvin). So now we need 8 more people to apply for PDS. These people will be awarded the coveted Basic PDS Badge on orientation day. CPL and above may apply.

I have some idea on how we're going to design our booth. We are going to split the booth into several sections. Individual Fieldcraft, Trainfire and Drills(parade & ceremonies). Firstly, i need an OIC for the booth and a 2IC. I also need IC-IFC, IC-Trainfire and 3x tour guides. On Orientation day, when the new sec 1 students enter our booth, the OIC and 2IC will be making sure that everything will be ensuring that everyone is suppose to do what they are suppose to do. The tour guides will be taking them to tour around the different sections on the booth. The IC for Trainfire and IFC will be conducting lessons for Some Part A and B cadets while the tour guides will be explaining to the sec 1 students what they are doing.

CCA Orientation posts available :

- 2x Armed escorts

- 8x PDS members

-OIC for booth

-2IC for booth

-IC-IFC

-IC-Trainfire

-3x tour guide

Several other things are still being planned. For any enquiries, please state in the tag board at the side of the blog or message me, CDT Muhd Ashraf at 9673 8916.

Camp Pinnacle 2009

2009-12-04T13:46:00.000+08:00

Hey Guys! SSG Sholihin and Myself just returned from Camp Pinnacle and I'm proud to say, that this is one of the best camps ever. We had great fun, made new friends, and learnt new things in the process as well. Here are our experiences:

DAY 1:

We arrived in the camp, and left for SISPEC shortly after. There, we had this survival training programme where we had the opportunity to learn basic jungle training skills. We were taught how to make shelters, such as the "A-Frame" shelter, in which you could live in for several days. Next, the sirs taught us how to cook in the wild. He taught us how to catch those animals by using traps, and also which parts to eat, and not to eat. It was a bloody scene, and it was definitely not for the kind-hearted. We killed animals such as Frogs, Chickens, Quails, Eels, Crabs and Catfish. It was an experience not to forget!

Day 2:

We were brought to the RSAF Where we saw the planes in action. The best bit no doubt, was the ride on the C130 plane. It was great, and we were one of the lucky ones to do so. We were also given a talk from, the Air Force Recruitment centre. They were obviously trying to convince us to join the RSAF. We did other things as well, such as to go to the Flight Simulation Centre.

DAY 3:

Day 3 wasn't much as all we did was to go to the SYFC (Singapore Youth Flying Club). This was a place in which you could go to, if you aspire to be a pilot. Once you join, with the right guidance, you could pursue a private flight license. Once you do that, you could either join the RSAF Or Singapore Airlines. We also went to the Air Force museum, where we learnt on the history and past of our nation's air force.

DAY 4:

On this day, we were brought to the Navy. We toured two of our warships, the frigate, (and I can't remember the second one). The ships were huge, and there were lots of insights that we got to know about those ships. We were also brought to the NDU (Naval Divers Unit), where the Navy divers were trained. We saw a performance from the divers, and got a boat ride. At night, we had this night called as "Camp Pinnacle Night". Each platoon had to come up with a performance. The performances were great, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

So that definitely raps up our experiences in Camp Pinnacle. We have more to say but its hard to explain. I'm glad I got the opportunity to go to this camp.

With Regards,
SSG Thinesh John,
Unit Sergeant Major,

Basic Survival Training(23 Nov - 24 Nov)

2009-11-26T16:49:00.000+08:00

Day One

We learn some of the edible plants and fruits in Ubin and also learn how to test whether the plants are edible or not. After that we went to our camp site at mama beach by trekking. We set up our tents in the forest. Than we learn how to make fire with basic survival equipment and learn how to skin some animals like frogs and fishes.We got a hands-on experience on skinning a frog.After dinner, we have a solo walk in the forest. Had AAR and went back to our tents to sleep.

Day Two

After breakfast, we were splited into 2 groups East and Central. We learned basic animals traps and different temporary shelters for different enviroment. After that we learn basic First Aid skills and water collection technique. Unset our tents, area cleaning than trekked back to Jetty and had certicate presentation.

Overall, I said the camp is fun as we had a lot of hands-on experience and also I made new friends there. But the camp was a bit too short as most of us could not absorb and remember all the things we learned.

Please ignore all spelling mistakes and grammer error.Thank You.
