NDP 2014

Hi Guys, for those involved in the National Day Parade tmr, Pls report at the SR Block Foyer at 6.35 in your Full Red Cross Uniform. Thank you

Communication

Hello Sec 1s and 2s,

Here is a follow up on what happened on Wednesday Training

The Sec 2s went through a scenario where the casualties did not know about their own injuries, but they knew about each other's injuries. In that case, what is required of the Sec 2s was that they had to communicate between each other in order to complete the scenario. Along the way, instructions and new injuries were also introduced to random people.

Communication is a key part of any team, and if you guys are not able to pass on vital information to each other that will help you guys fulfill your own individual roles and team goals, then your team has failed.

This is why you have to learn to pass on vital information from one person to another when you are working together as a team.

And this does not just apply to a scenario. It also applies to when you are doing proposals, handling trainings, and when you take over as NCOs. If you fail to pass on information, your team is dead.

So next time, I want to see you guys updating each other more when you plan your Platoon CIP.

Thanks!
Kuan Yang
