Contact list

Hello guys,

It's Gavin here again.

Do take note that there have been changes made to the contact list according to the information collected by the PMs. Changes are highlighted in yellow within the document. Do comment below if any information is inaccurate.

Password is still the same as the PMs told you/what you heard during training on Wednesday. (erherm, the password is NOT my favourite word :P).

Yup that's all from me...

June camp and Acestar camp consent forms

Hi guys,

Gavin form B62 here. Below are the consent forms for June camp as well as Acestar camp.

For those who were not able to attend training this week, please do print out the June camp form, let your parents sign it, and of course, bring it with you to camp!

Those who indicated interest in Acestar camp on Wednesday should have received the hard copy of the consent form. Others who are interested please email our batch group, and comment below as well.

That's all from me. See you at PN~

POC filming

Hey Sec 1s and 2s,

You guys have one last chance to film during training, as Wednesday will be your last training. However, we will be doing a POP rehearsal before that, so the sooner you can complete one good rehearsal, the more time you have for the POC video filming. Therefore, make sure you guys know how to do the FD commands that we taught you guys today well. Those who didn't come for training, please find out from your batchmates

Also, please bring your cameras and laptops, and make sure that all of you know what you are going to do during the filming, so that the filming session can be productive

Good luck

POC video filming during training

Hi guys,

As you may have heard, you will be filming as much of your POC video as you can during training on Wednesday. As such, please complete your concept plans and make sure that you know what to do so that time won't be wasted on Wednesday. Also, somebody from each batch will have to bring a camera, and a laptop if you want to transfer and edit the videos on the spot. This is really important for the Sec 4s, so give it your all!

-B62

Unit Tee

Hi guys,

This is regarding the collection of money for the unit tee. Thankfully, the Sec 1s have all paid :D (HURRAH)
However, these 4 Sec 2s are very naughty boys: Dylan, Lucas, Fangyuan and Brandon. Please bring the $14 for Wednesday training, as we will be collecting the money from you then.

-B62

Training 22/4 - Final results of IPC!

Hey cadets,

did you enjoy the mini OA competition we had today? We now bring you the results of this IPC :D.

Firstly, we regret to inform Omegians that your platoon was... disqualified, as your mess tin wasn't meant to be fired. Thus, only Epsilon and Iota will be judged.

The Sec 3s have given points based on the distance of the object thrown as well as the quality/ neatness of the structures. The platoon that won for furthest distance (that object was thrown) is Epsilon!

Here is a picture of the winning catapult:

                                                                                

As their marker was thrown the furthest, Epsilon is awarded 20 points. Keep up the good work guys!

Next, the platoon with the highest quality structure (tripod), was Iota! Here is a picture of their catapult:

Congratulations Iotians, you have earned 10 points for your platoon! 

That concludes the platoon activity we had during training today. One more reminder, please remember to bring your mess tins, solid fuel, atomic stove and matches for training THIS wednesday. We have also uploaded photos from training today. Do take a look at them in your spare time :).

Training this term (in pictures)

Hi cadets,

these are some photos we've taken of you guys that reflect some of the core values here in RIRC. Enjoy!

                                            Keep your discipline up! Don't fidget in squad!

                                          Give your best! Have passion and interest in RIRC!

                Creating volunteerism, and the heart to help to sick and suffering through FA! 

To put it in words, we hope you guys know by now that RIRC should not be compared to a subject taught in a classroom, it is a chance for you to experience what years of tradition has created.

Do look through the photos of training this term in your spare time :)
