Attendance tracking

Yo everybody,
In case you haven't realised, there's a link to a Google document on the blog on the top right tab which says "pages and links". You can check your attendance there.

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.
3) If you feel indignant about this, you can go appeal to our glorious chairman Reeve, who will then reconfirm whether that day's attendance will be valid (yay).

Reaccreds in Week 10

Hey all,

To those who unfortunately missed or failed the RCK (S) accreds for Sec 1s and FD (S) accreds for Sec 2s today, there will be a reaccreds in Week 10. It'd be best to go read up on the notes before attending the accreds so you can have an easier time. Those who have already passed will be able to do something fun (look forward to it~)

-B62

FD (S) results

Hi Sec 2s,

All who took the FD (S) accreds today passed, so you can be happy.
To Randy and Yu Chen, even though you assisted in the FD accreds, you guys did not actually do the accreds and therefore you guys are not considered to have passed. Don't be sad though, stay tuned for the next post

-B62

RCK Silver Results! :O

Hi all,

so the Sec 1s took their RCK Silver today, and the results are out! :D Here are the top scorers:

Reaccreds results

Hi Sec 1s,

To those who took the RCK (B) reaccreds last week, all passed except for Melvin. However, Tianxiang was absent on the day of the reaccreds. No worries, the Bronze syllabus is also tested in the Silver syllabus, so depending on your performance in the Silver accreds tomorrow, we will judge whether you deserve the Bronze badge.

To those who took the FD (B) reaccreds last week, all passed (YAY)

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)

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...

Platoon points from Monday's Training

Hey guys,

Today's platoon points have been updated. Epsilon received 6 points (T.T), Iota received 43 points (^.^) and Omega received 38 points (~.~)

1st) Iota
2nd) Omega

Epsilon and Omega please buck up lah

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
