Honorary Instructors

As mentioned in one of our posts not long ago, we needed Honorary Instructors to groom our Specialist into a more efficient and resilient leader. The HIs are to provide path for Specialist to better understand their strength and weaknesses so as to excel in their Specialist duties. I would like to introduce to you the 4 Honorary Instructors as of Today. They are :

MSG('08) Randy Tan

1SG('09) Dylan Tan

1SG('09) Yong Jia Wei

3SG('09) Chew Kia Leng

We will have a dialogue session for all Specialists, HIs, CLTs and TOs preferably on one of your training days so that we can clearly state the duties of the HI to all of you. Thank you.

New Layout

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.

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

To all dearest ncc mate:

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,
C/OFFR Ronald

Layout of Blog

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

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.
