Project Otella camp pack list

Hi,

Here's the pack list for November camp. Sorry for uploading it so late.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fs24quax2j72tea/November%20Camp%20Packlist_v1.docx

We're rushing the teachers for the consent forms. Hopefully they'll be out in a few days' time.

*UPDATE* Please add in the following items in the packlist

• Promotion Form x 1 (filled up)

*UPDATE 2* Even if you know you don't meet the promotion criteria, you should still bring your uniform and tie or RCU because you might get promoted in principle.

*UPDATE 3* There's also no need for the mug since we will be drinking packet drinks.  Note that the bottles do not have to be Coke bottles.

*UPDATE 4* We have received many queries about missing uniform parts/incomplete uniform parts. If you have any of these, please bring your School Uniform + Tie. Missing incentive badges such as Evacuation, Footdrill etc, are not considered as missing uniform parts.

Promotion forms

Hi,

I hope you still remember the promotion forms that we briefed you all about quite a long time ago. We apologise for forgetting about these forms until now.

Filling in this form is necessary for you to get promoted. So please print the form out, fill in whatever details you can, and bring it for camp. We will give you the signatures in camp if you have met the respective criteria.

For Year 2s, please download and print this form:

FA Refresher training on Thursday 15/11/12

Hi All
         This is just a reminder that there WILL be FA Refresher training tomorrow as per usual arrangements, from 0900 to 1500. It's the last session so do try to make the most of it by putting in your best and clarifying any doubts that you still have. Your trainers are generally very happy with the progress that most of you have made since last week, so keep up the standards! :)

Thanks and Have a Nice Day :)

FA Refresher Trainings for Promotion Test

Hi All
        We'll be organizing the last two FA Refresher trainings on the 14th (Wednesday) and 15th (Thursday). The timing will be the same as last week, from 0900 to 1500. Attendance will be COMPULSORY.

Anyway some observations from last week's trainings from your Team Leaders/Trainers:

1. Good improvement in Team Dynamics and Communications! Most of you guys were able to respond to unfamiliar or drastic team configurations by being teamed up with different people at impromptu timings, and yet were able to handle the scenarios satisfactorily. Also most cadets made the effort to talk to their team mates and try to involve them or engage them in treatment of casualties~~less eye-powering.

2. FA knowledge and Bandaging Proficiency---could do a lot better. While most cadets 'know' how to tie correct bandages for most injuries that we threw at them throughout the last two trainings, they floundered when met with unconventional/uncommon injuries that require advanced experience (i.e mugging FA handbooks) or Improvisation.
An example would be an injury of "Burns to the Back"---the correct treatment would be to reverse the application of a normal chest bandage such that it now covers the burnt back area. During competitions and during your Promotion Test itself, you should Expect the Unexpected---do not expect the same old, typical scenarios or injuries every time.
Bandage Quality----still need more work on timing and quality, but a good improvement was observed in most cadets. Partly due to the 'stressful mentality' of scenarios that motivate people to tie them better.
CPR management---still needs more practice, but not such a big problem.


3. Reassuring of Casualties; Conduct & Professionalism----satisfactory and improving :)
Most cadets were able to get the hang of reassuring the casualty after some practice, handling the SAMPLE questions and approach of the casualty in an acceptably proficient manner. However you guys need to be more aware of your Conduct throughout the entire scenario---make-believe and faux it may appear, you will be expected to uphold the highest levels of professionalism and seriousness as First Aiders under any circumstance. Once again, do NOT:
-Laugh or joke around with team mates during treatment or in front of casualties. (X)

-Express doubts or appear unsure in front of the casualty in too obvious a manner. While you can (and should!) clarify any doubts in the course of treatment, do so discreetly. Do not reveal blatantly that you have 'forgotten' or "Don't know" how to treat nay injuries in earshot of the casualty (X)

-Treat the casualty or any passers-by with Rudeness or Disrespect The casualty or passers-by (their family members, friends, the public etc.) may panic or get distressed, but that does not give you the right to treat them rudely or violently. Approach them in a calm, courteous but firm manner by: (Asserting your role as a FAider) (Asking them to calm down/Go away, whichever is applicable) (EXPLAIN why---might obstruct course of treatment, aggravate injuries of casualty etc.)

Yup so that's basically the sum-up for last week's FA Refresher trainings. If you have any questions or doubts, do feel free to approach any NCO, or preferably, your Team leaders, for clarification. **OF COURSE---please do mug the FA Addendum as well as FA (B), (S) theory material in preparation for your tests (located in the Treasure Chest link below) . As they say, a little knowledge goes a long way, and it'll definitely be useful for your future promotions or accreditations eventually.

Have a Nice Break :)

Wonderwall Photoshoot :0

Hi All~,
            We will be having our annual official CCA photoshoot (to be included in the Wonderwall murals) on the 29th of October, from 1400 to 1600.

            You will have to be in your full RC Uniform; barring that, your school uniform. We will be very strict on standards and your general appearance during the photoshoot and as such please do inform us early if you have any problems with your uniform or uniform accessories that require rectification. We will need time to handle such requests so do make the effort to inform us asap.

            We are aware that a significant number of you do not yet have your uniforms or some uniform parts, but we are unable to really do much as the suppliers are not very responsive. We will try to secure uniform parts from Sirs who have passed out of the Unit though, but there may not be enough.

Thanks

Have a Nice Day :)

November Camp Date

Dear all,

The confirmed date for November Camp will be from 19-21 November (Monday to Wednesday). Reporting will be at 8.00am on Monday, and dismissal will be at 2.00pm on Wednesday. It will be held largely in Raffles Institution. Attendance is COMPULSORY - please do try to reschedule your holiday plans (or if you have not already, plan to do so) to avoid the above period. It's going to be a fun experience (plus PROMOTIONS) - that we promise you.

If, for any reason, you cannot make it for any part of the camp, please email our batch group at rircb61@googlegroups.com.

However, even though the promotion ceremony for both Year 1 and 2 cadets will be during the camp, it does not mean that you will not be promoted if you miss the camp with a valid reason. If your attendance and behaviour have been excellent otherwise, rest assured that missing the camp will not cause you to not get promoted.

Further details will be posted in the coming weeks, so watch this space!

Have a nice day!

THE DATE IS SUBJECTED TO UNINFORMED CHANGES, PLEASE BE WARY, IT MIGHT BE CHANGED TO 29 NOV -1 DEC
