Change of Guards Along Orchard Road

Hi all!

For those of you who wish to take a break from mugging, and see some cool Drills and Fancy drills in action, come down to the SAF Change of Guards. Its basically a procession where the new guards of the Istana (where the President dwells) take over the old guards for the new month. You'll get to see them march for about 1-2km along Orchard Road to the Istana, and see the ceremony in action, together with a spectacular fancy drill performance.

Date: 4 October (Sunday)
Time: 5:30pm (Ceremony starts exactly at 5:45pm)
Starting Place: The road in between The Paragon and Grand Park Orchard
How to go there: Take MRT to Somerset Station and walk.



Ending Place: The Istana (nearest MRT station is Dhouby Ghaut)
Ending Time: 6:15pm (approximate)

Just a little cool fact: Hadi will be there riding the Military Police Bike escorting the parade, so you finally see what he does in NS. =D

Its for the public, so bring your family and friends, or come together as a platoon or batch if you wish! Good opportunity to see good footdrill, so hope you'll take a look!

Some excerpts:





You'll be there..in NS..one day..no one can run away muahaha

Dying from laughter...

Some people are just too funny...

A laugh while you are mugging...

Enjoy!

Regards,
Sara

Excuse Letters

Hi all,

For those who did not turn up for the newspaper collection yesterday, please submit your excuse letters/MCs to the sickbay letter racks by Wednesday. No excuse letter/MC = no attendance = pon. Unless your excuse is really valid then we MIGHT decide to be nice :P tuition/mugging not included.

Alternatively, you can just find Jason sir (92387467) and pass it to him directly.

Thanks and enjoy the rest of the weekend :)

Beach Story

Batch 57 at the beach

Wah, Sheng Yang sir so tall liao

Had enough of seniors harping on "batch unity"? Have you been pondering about what it's like to be in a batch?

What is a batch anyway?

We've asked ourselves these questions too when we were cadets. There is no definite answer (this isn't Physics RA!), and all of us can only arrive at a conclusion after some reflection and thought...

What is a beach?

This is the spoof that we came up with when we too were faced with the question of being in a batch. Apparently, it seemed that we were rather dismissive of this entire "batch" business. We hope that everyone (Batch 59 and Batch 60) can get together and work as a batch and as a UNIT!

Who's "we" anyway? We are Batch 58, and we have our fair share of new experiences to learn from. We trust that you too will have much to learn from, cherish and remember in your years in RI, and RIRC.

Here's some interesting stuff related to beaches, while we're here o.o

----

While walking along a beach, an elderly gentleman saw someone in the distance leaning down, picking something up and throwing it into the ocean.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, picking up starfish one by one and tossing each one gently back into the water.

He came closer still and called out, “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”

The young man paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean.”

The old man smiled, and said, “I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?”

To this, the young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”

Upon hearing this, the elderly observer commented, “But, young man, do you not realise that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!”

The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked up another starfish, threw it into the back into the ocean past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”

More stuff

Hi all,

We forgot to thank two very important groups of people in the previous posts, endless apologies for that ;x

Anyway, thanks to those who were doing first aid duty at the marathon/basketball games, as well as everyone who came down to support. Wouldn't have been possible without you guys :)

Cheers!

UNITY and other matters

Wear your UNIT-TEE with pride!

Once again, THANK YOU to Batch 57 for coming back to participate, as well as everyone in the unit who has come down to participate in and support the half-marathon/basketball competitions :)


Even though this race is over (well so is basketball o.o), there will always be other "races" to run, such as FACOM2009, and the ominous countdown timer to beat (it's in the sidebar) =O

Remember: All cadets promoted in principle must clear the required accreditations for full promotion by November 17, otherwise their "in principle" ranks will be voided.

Let's do it! Once again, good luck for your EOYs. If you need help and advice, you can always email Batch 58 at the email at the top of the sidebar.

BRING IT ON!
