Dear Sec 2s,
As I have shared with you all today, there is a reason behind all the things that we do in NPCC. It is for yourself that you put in the effort to learn, and for your pride as a Damai NPCC cadet that you want to show others that you are better.
1.
PICARD. Think about the true meaning of each letter, relate it back to the examples that I have shared, and reflect on how you can better demonstrate each of those values as a NPCC cadet.
2.
Safety. A peg is a peg. It is not a javelin. If you are hoping to get into the Olympic Games, please let me know. I will kindly ask Mr Tan to enrol you in the Singapore Sports School. A peg is a dangerous item and it can injure people, especially since it is made from metal and the tip is sharp. I hope today's "mild corrective education" has drilled some sense into you all. The next time I see anyone doing anything dangerous like today again, I will not hesitate to mete out "stronger corrective education". This applies to everyone, be it you are the culprit or the by-stander, since
SAFETY IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY.
3.
Drills. All of you can do good drills. You have seen for yourself after I stopped you all from coming out individually to give commands. It is a matter of whether you want to self-discipline yourself and demonstrate good solid drills. I hope you all can continue to show a high standard of drills. And most importantly, when you are in a squad, stand still. Absolutely still. No sound, no noise, no movement.
4.
Outdoors. Your tent-pitching skills have to improve. The fate of your NCOs and your own shelters during ATC lies in your hands. Train hard during tent-pitching. Treat every minute as though it is the last minute that you have. Demonstrate a sense of urgency! Sitting down to peg or tie isn't going to speed things up. It just shows that you are trying to take things slow and easy. For your knots and lashings, cuts and insufficient rounds (min of 3) were the main killers of your marks. Pay attention to those details while you are tying.
Lastly, I will like to congratulate the following cadets on their successful promotion to the next rank.
