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

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:

1st place:  Sun Han (epsilon)                               19/20        +20 POINTS
2nd place (tie): Surya (omega), Yu Hang(omega)  18/20        +10 POINTS each
3rd place (tie): Lin Hong (omega), Sihao (epsilon) 17/20        +5 POINTS each

Congratulations to you people!

However, we did have three failures, namely Daniel, Yijie and Nicholas. But not to worry, there is a reaccreds coming soon :).

And of course, congrats to everyone else who passed.

Thanks!

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)

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 (~.~)

Now the platoon standings are as such:
1st) Iota
2nd) Omega
3rd) Epsilon

Good job to Iota~
Epsilon and Omega please buck up lah
-B62

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

Attendance tracking tool

Hey guys,

Gavin here. I've added a Google document on the sidebar for you guys as a attendance tracking tool. Serves a few purposes:
--- You guys can check how your attendance is doing
--- If you guys feel that your excuses have been rejected unjustly, you may email Reeve to appeal.
--- You could also submit excuses for past trainings you missed

Yeah. You can find the link below the Teasure Chest link on the right tab. If you have any trouble accessing, do email our batch group and I'll try to reply promptly. Thanks~

EDIT: I need to share it with you for you to be able to access it. So inform me if you are supposed to have access and it's not granted.

FD (B) accreds postponed

Sec 1s...

Your current FD standard is really bad, and if we had accreded you guys, all of you would have failed, Therefore, the FD (B) accreds has been postponed to this Wednesday. All of you better mug for it because if you fail it, the chance of you getting promoted is lowered.

We want to see you putting in more effort, because ultimately, passing your accreds is for your own good.
Make your RIRC life a meaningful journey

New treasure chest!

Blog IPC

Hi guys,

we're having another IPC right here on the blog! This competition is similar to the first, however this time the theme is soccer, as you might be seeing plenty of that in the future ;). If you know the names of the (Year 3/4) sirs in the pictures below, type them out in the comments box and if you answer correctly, you will gain 15 points for your platoon!




Good luck! :D

Training tomorrow (14 July)

Hi guys,

Quick reminder for you guys: remember to wear your new (unless you bought the older version from anyone in B61 :P) unit T-shirt for training tomorrow! Of course, if you do not wear it... you can always try and find out for yourselves ;)

Next thing, those who owe their PN/June camp consent forms or excuses, remember to bring them tomorrow as well. Best that you settle this stuff as soon as possible, so that I don't have to keep chasing you guys. Plus, you can keep a good attendance record by submitting on time :)

Ok c'ya tmr!

June events (PN and camp)

Hello everybody,

Gavin from B62 here :). As you guys should know by now, I'm the guy in charge of attendance and admin-related stuff. Basically this post is to settle attendance related stuff for PN and June camp.

PN (Performance Night):
So, I need the following people to submit their PN consent forms:
B63: Yu Chen, Fangyuan, Jack, Aloysius, Saha, Jared, Benjamin

And these people need to submit excuses:
B63: Nathanael, Dylan, Vincent, Chang Yi
B64: Yu Hang, Melvin, Yijie, Daniel

June camp:
Consent forms:
B63: Yu Chen, Fangyuan, Nathanael
B64: Lin Hong

Excuses: Just Jack from B63 :)

--- Please follow the latest attendance protocol and submit both soft and hard copy evidence, and hard copy excuse letters. This is to be done by the end of July.
--- If you guys don't submit your excuses, then we'll consider that you missed camp invalidly. So please do cooperate and submit your excuses on time.
--- As for consent forms, please them pass to me by the end of training on 24th July (two weeks)
--- I'll remind you guys next training. If you need extra consent forms, please do email me (gavin@merlioncity.net). I can pass you copies for your parents to sign during training.

You can also find this post on the unit FB page. Thanks~

Good job for bringing your platoon closer to success, and work harder next time to bring glory to your platoon
FYI, all platoon points have been updated.

RCK (B) reaccreds for Sec 1s

Hey Sec 1s,

If you remember, you guys did your RCK bronze accreds today, and all except 1 passed (if we didn't contact you separately, you passed).

Here are the top scorers:

1st place: Jonathan 24/25
Awarded 30 platoon points

2nd place: Jee Kuen 23/25
Awarded 20 platoon points

3rd place: Yu Cai 22/25
Awarded 10 platoon points

Well done, and good job for getting points for your platoon

Reaccreds will be organised for the CAC Sec 1s, Sec 1 absentees for Wednesday's training, and the person who we have already contacted separately after CAC. So don't worry about not taking the accreds today, and more details will be released further.

-B62

Attendance protocol

Hey peeps,

Below is the link for the official attendance protocol (yay)! It contains a list of all valid excuses, evidence needed etc. You can also refer to the document posted by Benjamin on the RIRC unit FB group as an alternative, more simple version (remember... 100% attendance? :P).

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wql8len2lup10q9/Attendance%20protocol.docx

Yup, that's all from me...

Please report at the SR block foyer (normal reporting area if you all do not know already) and Forster or Gavin Sir will be there to take your attendance. So make sure you go look for them or else there goes you 100% attendance (POOF). If they aren't there, kindly look for any of your kind sirs :) to ask them to direct you to either Forster or Gavin Sir. Thank you.

P.S. Pls try to pass your NAPFA, we know its tough but try your best

RCK stuffies

HEYHEYHEY,

This is for the Sec 1s. You guys are going to have your RCK (B) reaccreds this Wednesday (yay!).
I know some of you have already passed this test, but we have come up with a cooler paper that all of you have to take. It's pretty awesome, and much tougher than the lame HQ papers. Also, the passing rate is 75%, so you guys probably should (YOU MUST!) mug for it.

One more thing, there will be a revision session before the accreds, so if you come prepared for the accreds, then you'll be prepared to bag yourself some platoon points in the stuff we have planned in the revision session.

Just so you know, the platoon with the most number of platoon points at the end of this term will get something epic from us in Term 4, so buck up and don't f*** up :D

SEC 2s THIS IS FOR YOU! DON'T THINK YOU CAN GET OFF EASY, WE GONNA HAVE SOME FUN WITH RCK NEXT TRAINING, SO YOU GUYS BETTER MUG AND SCORE SOME POINTS FOR YOUR PLATOON IN THE RCK LESSON!

-Your beloved B62
