Post EOY blog IPC

Hi all,

I know everyone is probably retarding in front of their computers now but if anyone is interested, here is a chance to win A HUGE AMOUNT of points for your platoon!

Ok so:

Form a word using the first letter of the sec 3s names (or surnames.. yes, as seen on the contact list) that refers to a type of brown. (no im not being racist). This word has strictly 5 letters. Type out the names of the sec 3s and spell out the word.

Since solving this would PROBABLY take a crazy amount of time and would be hard even to a genius whoever manages to solve this will receive 50 points! (:O)

Go nuts,
B62

Therefore if you are going to be absent, please follow the standard procedures to inform our dear admin exec Gavin. Attendance will be taken, thus you either participate in the sport or support your unit/batch mates who are playing in the games. There are 4 sports this year, Half Marathon, which is a 10km brisk walk done by 7 members. This is only for the year 1s and 2s. For upper sec cadets, there is the standard half marathon which is obviously running. Similarly, 7 members from each UG and they have to cover 10km also. Next there is floorball, soccer and modified handball. The first 2 is self explanatory and modified handball is basically similar to handball except a soft ball (not softball) will be used to throw into a net. The link for signups is here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18FYPwv0MJiEvnVBJ9XXtDi2IAeDrMsQT96S5YhcWR5E/viewform .

Submisson of Sign-ups are due by tuesday, 10/9/2013, 2359 hours. Late Submissions would not be entertained.

Last training for the term

Hi guys,

Hope you had fun in the war game today. Daniel got the ball to the base, which means that Omega is awarded 100 points. Epsilon had 7 deaths, while Iota had 2 deaths, so Iota gets 50 platoon points and Epsilon gets 25 platoon points. Congratulations to whoever was involved.

The water bombs were used to put out the sudden 'fire' that cropped up, therefore no water bombs were involved today. Instead, we saved the day and stopped the fire from spreading (mighty NCOs)!

Have a good September holidays :D

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
