Gold Modular Workshops!!!

Wazzzzzzzuuup

Ok yeah this post is mostly directed towards the sec 2s cos there's a gold modular workshop coming up and you guys can finally join(!!)
Basically, gold modular workshops are where you get accredited for subjects and they're the only ways you can get your Gold ranking for like Evacuation or Outdoor Activities so it's like very cool stuff and all. Yes.

So you guys will be eligible for:

FA(G) - most of you passed SFA

RCK(G) - most of you have RCK(S)

Evac(G) - just have Silver reaccreds during the 1 week period after the EOYs

FD (G) - just have Silver reaccreds during the 1 week period after the EOYs

OA (G) - ...if you want we can possibly hold external trainings to get you guys to pass Silver, after the EOYs (but really OA is pretty useless hur)

Basically, you can join any subject, although there's a quantity limit of 5 applies.

And don't ask me about the sudden font change.

Anyway, I'd really suggest signing up for the subjects that you're more passionate about and have more interest in because gold modular workshops don't come very often and you guys must have a gold by the time you're an NCO anyway so might as well just get one early and be done with it (only people with Gold can accred others for bronze/silver)

Also, it's a chance for you to get to go to some HQ event since most of you probably haven't and it'll be interesting. Yeah. And hopefully fun.

If you want further details, http://www.orangenode.net/uip2011/Circulars/GMW%20%28Oct%202012%29%20-%20Letter%20To%20Schools.pdf

Tada

EDIT: Please send an email to the batch group, rircb61@googlegroups.com, with your top three choices, in order.

For RCK (G), please form a team of 2-5 members. The bigger the team, the better. Please send one email stating all members of the team. 

ALSO, if you're interested in UIP, it'd be good to have a gold in your area of specialisation as well.

UIP is basically the Unit Instructor's Programme, where you learn how to teach (so you're taught how to teach). It's pretty useful for some people and it also allows you to get connections from other units.

The thing about it though is that you have to choose one subject, like FD, to specialise in, so they give you more tips on how to teach FD as compared to other subjects. 

As such, if you're interested for UIP and specialising in, say, RCK, it'd be good to get an RCK gold this time roudn.

Do note though that priority will be given to NCOs!

Dududu

whas up guize

hope you've been doing plenty of 

ing.

Har, har. Yeah.

In any case, exams are in like TWO weeks time, and if you haven't been studying hard, then you should go kill y - err, I mean, follow our tips! 

1) Get out of your house. Yeah, seriously. Or rather, get away from your lousy no-good computer with that pesky internet that reaches out to you with tentacles to (rape you) keep you entangled and trapped within the mazes of irrelevant, redundant crap. And Facebook. Facebook is failbook. Get your puny butt off it. 

Instead, go somewhere else outside to mug! To the library! To the S.Rajaratnam Block! To a coffee-shop (I mean like Starbux not the hawker center kind. Though that works too)! To Mars and beyond!

Yep. 

And with this method you get to save on air-con fees if you head to places like the library wheeeeeeee

2) Study with friends. Make a study date. Arrange a place. Bam wham, and then you're together mugging in peace.

WHY THIS IS GOOD: 

-You're obligated to get your lazy posterior out and studying because if you stand them up or cancel on them you're being a Tom|Dick|Harry (read between the lines). Yes.

-If there's anything you're unsure of, you get to ask them about it. You also get to help answer their questions and that's like plus points to your friendship and all.

-It's a good excuse to go studying with a girl. Woohoo. Just make sure you spend more time looking at your work than her face (or below that).

3) Compile notes. If you're feeling lazy and don't wanna actually do any work, grab all your notes out, summarise them, put them online and SELL THEM. Or just share them around like a good Rafflesian would :) If you can properly summarise a set of notes, it means that you're able to understand it and aren't a completely useless 81jagvwa978y1>>???. Also, it's a good way to revise.

4) Don't let yourself slack off. Keep reminders everywhere. Paste a sticky (real one) in front of your computer, on your soccer ball, on your book covers, whatever. Keep telling yourself that exams are in two weeks time!!!!!!!!! That's right, >two<! Yep.

And that's about all from us (me)! If you need any help, feel free to approach anyone of us and we'll see what we can do :)

Good luck

Evacuation (B) accreditations results

Hi,

Here are the results for the accreditations:

James, Kuan Yang, Harish and Jack passed the theory paper (15/19).
Everyone else failed.
No platoon points will be awarded for the theory results.

For practical, everyone passed except Jared.

Top scorers for the practical are Yu Chen, Chang Yi and Kuan Yang with 72/79. 

50 points will be awarded to Epsilon and 25 to Omega.

The overall top scorer is Kuan Yang, with 87/98. 25 more points will be awarded to Epsilon.

Don't worry about the theory results. We'll go through the theory again with you (after EOYs) and then take the paper again (but 6 more questions will be added (because 6 were voided for this paper)). 

CCL

Hi Guys,

This is just a reminder that this Saturday's CCL is from 8.00am to 11.00pm. Report at the S.Raja block foyer at around 7.50am in your unit T-shirt. Do be on your best behaviour as RGS and Coral Primary School will be there as well and you don't want to ruin our image in front of them.

Inter UG games

Hi guys,

As mentioned earlier, there will be inter-UG games on T4W1 Wednesday.

The 6 events are the half-marathon, soccer, basketball. frisbee, captain's ball and floorball. All events need at least 5 participants except for the half-marathon which needs 14, not including reserves


Since we will be short-handed (sec 3s need to referee some games, people ponning), most likely everyone will have to participate in a game.

As such, please send in ur top 3 choices for the inter-UG games so that we can assign you to the respective sports. If we do not receive anything, we will assign you any of the games that are lacking people. You will need to email your respective platoon mentors to state your choices.

Epsilon: sec 1s - Yimin sir (zhangyiminzhang@yahoo.com.sg)
               sec 2s - Jian Xing sir (jxjianxing@gmail.com)
Iota: sec 1s - Brendon sir (brendon_yeo97@hotmail.com)
        sec 2s - David sir (david_wwj@hotmail.com)
