Post EOY blog IPC

Hi all,

I know everyone is probably retarding in front of their computers now but if anyone is interested, here is a chance to win A HUGE AMOUNT of points for your platoon!

Ok so:

Form a word using the first letter of the sec 3s names (or surnames.. yes, as seen on the contact list) that refers to a type of brown. (no im not being racist). This word has strictly 5 letters. Type out the names of the sec 3s and spell out the word.

Since solving this would PROBABLY take a crazy amount of time and would be hard even to a genius whoever manages to solve this will receive 50 points! (:O)

Go nuts,
B62

For upper sec cadets, there is the standard half marathon which is obviously running. Similarly, 7 members from each UG and they have to cover 10km also.

Last training for the term

Hi guys,

Hope you had fun in the war game today. Daniel got the ball to the base, which means that Omega is awarded 100 points. Epsilon had 7 deaths, while Iota had 2 deaths, so Iota gets 50 platoon points and Epsilon gets 25 platoon points. Congratulations to whoever was involved.

The water bombs were used to put out the sudden 'fire' that cropped up, therefore no water bombs were involved today. Instead, we saved the day and stopped the fire from spreading (mighty NCOs)!

Have a good September holidays :D

Update on platoon points + Blog IPC!

Hi all,

if you've been keeping track, you'll realise that all the platoons are all now within 10 points of each other.

Which is why... we will now be holding an IPC right here worth 15 points. That's right, if you win this blog IPC your platoon will become the top platoon :O (unless you're Iota in which case you'll remain on top :D)

Similar to previous blog IPCs, you simply have to answer a question to gain those 15 points. And so, here is the question:

Which Sec 3s name has the most letters? (Including sir/family/middle names)

If you know the answer, please spell out his entire name.

Good luck! :D

1) If you can't access it, request for it to be shared
2) If you see red, then that means you were invalidly absent for a certain training.

Hi Sec 2s,

All who took the FD (S) accreds today passed, so you can be happy.

Accreds this Wednesday (YAY)

Wazzup guys,

Bit of a late notice but there will be RCK (S) accreds for Sec 1s and FD (S) accreds for Sec 2s this Wednesday, 21st August.

Sec 1s:
No worries, even though we haven't touched on RCK (S) at all, you can go read up on the RCK (S) notes or look at "Additional notes on RCK (S) by Shen Yu Jun" which are on the treasure chest. We will revise the content covered before the accreds itself, so just come prepared and you'll be fine.

Sec 2s:
You guys obviously have nothing to worry about. Your FD SHO ZAI!!! (go read up on the Silver notes if you kiasu)
Randy GWS :D

-B62

GMW :D

Hey guys,

To those going for GMW, we would like to wish you the very best of luck. If you still don't know details like reporting and stuff, refer to one of the previous posts.

Some pro-tips:
FD
1) Prepare your uniform tonight, and not tomorrow morning. It'll probably be quite rush tomorrow morning and your uniform will look like shit, and you won't get as much sleep.
2) Pay attention and don't lose focus during the Uniform Inspection. Go into Sediya and greet the sir when he comes to inspect you, then when he's done, say thank you sir, then go back into Senangdiri.
3) Do not fidget during the accreds, or you are seriously screwed. Even tiny adjustments are noticeable in a squad. If you really need to adjust, do what we do in training, ask for permission. It's better than being an introverted freak and just stand there uncomfortably, because it will affect your concentration.
4) Commanding-wise..Read up on the notes on how to command. There are 3 major components to a command, so make sure when you command you actually follow the theory. Also, command loudly, as loud as you can, and use your diaphragm, not your throat. E.g. You don't hear female commanders with high pitch, they usually sound like fags, because they're trying to use their diaphragm to command.
5) Voice projection: When commanding, lift your head up 45 degrees and open your mouth. Not only do you have to let the instructors hear you, the squad also has to hear you, and expect the squad to be a big one.
6) Controlling the squad: As a commander, you cannot move from your spot. So if you make a mistake, don't say "uhh..ummm", just say semula. Gather your thoughts, then continue. If you have to make the squad march off, do not let them go too far. Once they've taken a few steps, proceed to the next command, so they don't get too far and can't hear you.

Evac
1) Pay attention to Under and Over obstacle, it's quite complicated and contains quite alot of steps
2) Fintan: "Improvised stretcher is easy", so don't have to worry if it looks complicated
3) In the words of Sam Ye: "WILLPOWER". Guess this doesn't need explanation

FA
1) The only new thing is sort of learning how to delegate materials and people in (let's say) a parade. Where do you put First Aiders, Officers, First Aid base, Walkie-Talkies etc. It's actually quite easy, just use common sense and you'll do fine.
2) Since First Aid is so damn easy, just don't fall asleep. Don't be like Shawn, if not you will get pulled out and a instructor will talk to you about responsibility and shit. Don't get into trouble!

Overall, mug your Gold notes and make sure you know everything so you don't have a hard time tomorrow. Don't be late and don't forget to bring your signed Silver monitoring form and empty Gold monitoring form, if not you will be turned away...

Phoenix

The phoenix is a mythical creature known to most as the paragon of beauty and grace. And now, it has been reborn from its ashes to the freshness of youth. A new power has risen.

Dramatics aside, what exactly is this 'Phoenix'? Phoenix is the name of the new division that will be joining the race towards being the top platoon. However, there is, as always, a catch. Instead of fighting for platoon points the way the other platoons would, Phoenix would gain points based on the mistakes of the other platoons. Continue reading for more info.

When will you see Phoenix?

Basically, members of batch 62 excluding the PMs are part of Phoenix. During training, a small group of NCOs will form the platoon Phoenix against the cadets. At any moment, members of Phoenix might join each of the respective platoons, and act as a benchmark for whatever activity or task given. Each time one person in the platoon fails to meet this mark, 10 points will be taken from their platoon and given to Phoenix. So please, maintain your high standards. 

In IPCs, a group of NCOs will form the platoon Phoenix against the other platoons, so be prepared to see a new (and OP) platoon join the race ;).

Watch out,
~B62

NDP + Reaccreds

Hi all,

Good job for putting up a spectacular show for this year's NDP parade (even though you guys didn't get much showtime). Hopefully, your efforts in the many rehearsals for the NDP parade paid off in this final blast, in front of the babes in Y5-6 :D
On the whole, congratulations for surviving this arduous journey of baking in the hot sun for so many days.

On a more serious note, addressed to the Sec 1s:
To those who failed/missed the RCK (B) accreds, there will be a reaccreds next Monday (yes, training resumes as per usual next Monday)
List of names who have to attend the RCK (B) reaccreds:
1) Sihao
2) Yu Hang
3) Josh
4) Melvin
5) Zhong Yang
6) Sun Han
7) Yi Jie
8) Daniel
9) Lin Hong
10) Tianxiang

UPDATE: The CAC people also have to take the RCK (B) reaccreds since they missed it due to CAC training. Additional names above ^
MORE UPDATE: Jonathan does not have to take the reaccreds, since he already passed it

To those who missed the FD (B) accreds, there will be a reaccreds next Wednesday
List of names who have to attend the FD (B) accreds:
1) Melvin

Be prepared for a packed week, but if you make good use of the long weekend and spend some time revising through the content for the RCK (B) and FD (B) syllabus (notes in the treasure chest), you definitely will be able to pass.
To the rest, enjoy the extended weekend (MUAHAHAHAHA ^^)

CLARIFICATION FOR NDP:

1. Remember to bring your complete RCU! (I don't say :P) Beret, shirt, buttons, pants, belt, and boots (DIE DIE MUST HAVE BOOTS, to quote Reeve). RANK AND NAME TAG: ONLY IF YOU HAVE

2. Bring BLACK SOCKS with your boots!! I'll bring a few pairs extra, and settle the Sec 1s' boots tmr during uniform inspection.

3. Reporting is now at 6.40am at SR Block foyer, NOT 6.50am!!!

4. For those who have leather black shoes to spare, pls do bring along tmr as well. We could use some spare for the Sec 1s in case. Sec 1s without boots: if you have leather black shoes you can bring along instead.

Cya tmr then, NDP peeps.
Remember your FD basics~ no fidgetting, arms locked, stand straight, chest out, raise legs to 90 degrees...
