Improving the power of the squad (Part I)

Hey, Nicholas here. Just want to say that this will be a long post and you can just read the highlighted parts. This is my opinion, feel free to comment (: (Names have been changed to protect the person)

I was thinking, recently our squad has been getting chaotic and everything so just some ideas on how to improve our squad.

1. Respect and love your squadmates (NCOs too! - I know this is cliche but bear with me..)

1. That means treating them with respect, helping them instead of watching them in trouble, like instead of saying 'too bad' or laughing and walking away when your squad mate is hurt or something, you could help/comfort him.
2. Listen to what they have to say, respect their opinion, NOT ask them to 'shut up'
   

2. Communication

1. Accept criticism and improve. Criticism from your squad mates doesn't mean they're scolding your or something, it is an opportunity for you to improve, as they are pointing our your mistakes to you. So LISTEN and don't ask the person to shut up.
   
2. Of course, there is good and bad criticism. Good criticism helps the person to improve by pointing our his mistakes, while bad criticism is equivalent to scolding and insulting the person - An example of good criticism: "Ben can your say your timing louder and sharper, don't drag it, and say left-right-left-right-left-right instead of left-left-left-right", and an example of bad criticism: "Ben your timing sucks." The difference if pretty obvious.
3. Listen first. Don't ask your squad mates to shut up or fight with them.
   
4. If your squad mate is making a mistake, don't keep quiet and hope you won't get punished, then stay away and act 乖. TAKE THE INITIATIVE!
   
5. Spread the message. Self explanatory.
   

3. Squad spirit

1. That means not only thinking about your interests, but also of the squad. Win-win.
   
2. Squad spirit is NOT: pushing and shoving your squad mates out of the way so you can fall in first. The timing is for everybody, not just yourself. Don't just care about yourself. An example of squad spirit would be like helping to post the training details or helping your squadmates to find out what location for the gala dinner when their com has spoiled, or opening the door for your squad to go through (win-win).
3. If someone makes a mistake, the whole squad should share the blame. After all, nobody took the initiative to correct his mistake. Don't push the blame or point fingers.
4. One for all, all for one. "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link"
5. Teamwork. Work together. Synergy. Also self explanatory.
6. IMPORTANT: SQUAD SPIRIT TAKES EVERYBODY TO WORK TOWARDS IT, NOT JUST SOME ENTHU INDIVIDUALS.
   

4. Synergy

1. Work together.
   

5. DO IT NOW!

1. Start working towards it. Encourage your squad mates, start caring about them, help them, respect them, PERSEVERE!
2. "A year from now you may wish you had started today." - Karen Lamb

JIA YOU guys!
Together, you and I can make a difference.

Hi all,

Reminder:

Fall in by 2.45pm IN FULL UNIFORM.
Bring your Pt Kit (UNIT TEESHIRT)
And DON'T FORGET YOUR SPEC HOOKS !!
Standardize our uniform for once !!

Wenhao

HI :)

Just to share something nice (some of you might know).
Those who are using hotmail, there's such a thing called Skydrive.
(http://skydrive.live.com)
Its a hotmail-based thingy, so must be logged in to use.
Seeing from its name, its actually, well, a thumbdrive on air (lol)
Ya, its like a thumbdrive and you can stor things inside it.
Comparing to a thumbdrive:

Pros:
-Loads files much faster.
-Useful when you forgot (common excuse) to bring your thumbdrive.
- IT HAS 25GB OF STORAGE !!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D

Cons:
-What if you don't have internet connection/connection is down? :(

Yep, thats about it.

Wenhao

P.S. I'm trying to say that you can use this for storing the Leave of Absence form for NPCC activities, especially those using hotmail, bcos i THINK that hotmail cannot bookmark or do whatever to an email.
Trust me, its useful :D

(lol this was the big round badge that wen wei sir didnt get)

By Ng Eng Chuan

Hi all,

This is a REMINDER.(so this will be in extra large fonts)

Pls hand in your CARP form TOMORROW, 24/3, Tuesday, 2nd day of

Term2 to NCOs AFTER FLAG RAISING AT THE TKK STATUE.

Ya so make sure its signed. The CARP thing will be held on EVERY SATURDAY STARTING FROM 28/3(THIS SATURDAY).
Venue:Sunlove Abode for Intellectually Infirmed Ltd
(address: 70 Buangkok View, Buangkok Green Medical Park, Singapore 534190).
Time: from 9am to 12pm
Cadets are to make their own way there and meet PUNCTUALLY.
Ok....
About the hugging thing, since Zhen Quan sir has agreed to do it, so its ok I guess, but dont go too far. Show some respect to them as seniors! :)

Wenhao

(cant go to sleep, so i'll just post.)

Hi all,

Reminder:
#1) Spring Cleaning on THIS COMING MONDAY 23 MARCH 2009. YES ITS TOMORROW. 2pm to 5pm. Attire is PE SHIRT, KHAKI SHORTS, WHITE SOCKS. Bring along a rag and newspapers.

#2)Reflection on Today's Gala Dinner Marshalling: Send a email to Hongliang sir's email address by WEDNESDAY, 9.59PM (to be safe).
Maybe everyone send by 9pm to avoid any internet congestion or whatever thing that can happen. 300 words at least, so just type it out in MS Word and get word count, copy paste into email.

Ya, So thats about it... AND pls stop the bearhugging thing....
In my opinion, its seriously childish and inhumane. Imagine yourself being tied by a rope and forcing you to walk. Eeeeeee...
Hug maybe can la. 1 second enough. Theres no need for you to while hugging, walk around, do this, do that. Its awful. Put yourself in the victim's shoes :(
One more thing, during the Gala Dinner the song "Peng You". For heaven's sake during the music interlude if you want to say the "bom bom xxxx xxxx" thing, PLS just MUTE YOU VOLUME. Its was seriously darn obvious la. There goes the school's reputation.

Wenhao

Hi all,

(SOME CHANGES HAS BEEN MADE)


Hi all,

Ya, as suggested by Nicholas sir,
the following will be the list of theorys for knots !
MUST REVISED HARD HARD ORH! :)
so that all P/LCP becomes LCP, and CDT still remains CDT :(, like me! :)
k, stop beating about that bush.
pls correct (just edit it lol.) or add anything that I have left out/typed wrongly :)


THEORY :)
(P.S. MOST OF THIS WERE TAKEN FROM THE ENTHU EMAIL EITHER ME OR JOHN SENT, ONLY MADE CHANGES TO THOSE THAT HE MENTIONED TODAY.)

- Reef Knot
- For tying bandage

- Tie 2 ropes of equal thickness
- Tie 2 ends of a plastic bag together


- Sheet Bend
- Tie 2 ropes of different thickness together
- Tie a rope to a loop or hook
- Tie a flag to a flagline

- Sheep Shank
- For easy keeping
- For shortening the rope
- Prevent strains on worn out parts of the rope

- Bowline
- Used in rescuing purposes
- Used in tent pitching ( tied to the dolly)
- To form a loop

- Fisherman's Knot
- Join together 2 wet,slippery, or smooth ropes of similiar thickness
- Used to mend a fishing net
- Used to tie a flag to a flagline

- Figure of Eight Knot
- Tie to the sail of the yacht
- Stopper knot to prevent rope from passing through a loop or hook
- Stopper knot to prevent fraying
- To make a handhold for a wet rope

- Clove Hitch
- To start all lashings except diagonal lashing
- Used in tent pitching (tied to the pin of the vertical pole)
- Tie a rope to a railing

- Timber Hitch
- Useful for dragging logs back to a campfire.
- To start a diagonal lashing
- can be loosened to fit in more logs and tightened again to secured again

* Lashings - Courtesy of John's email (dun mind i use uh)

Round lashing
tying two spars together side by side.
start with clove hitch tied around both sparswind around the two spars. tightly.
after every turn use ur thumb to press it down.
make sure its so tight that ur finger cnt go in. XD

Square lashing.
Quite .... a few disputes over how it should be tied. =X
haix. jus stick with the old one...(:
but. frappings dont overdo it. it will only wekaen it if frappings are overdone *hint*
next. poles are set at 90 degrees.
largely similar to diagonal lashing. jus tat diagonal lashing has the poles set at an acute angle.
clove hitch must be started and ended on different poles

Diagonal Lashing
only lashing with timble hitch as a starting.
end with clove hitch. dun end with timble hitch.
comparatively weaker to square lashing. jus tat.
it... shouldnt be much of a problem if tied correctly.

Sheer lashing.
^^. they didnt write any method. but. i jus brief through generally.
1. start by tying a clove hitch around the two poles. standing end.. the tip make it face up and pull it to the top.
2. keep winding around the two poles. and cover the standing end. make sure that the width of the two poles= thickness of the windings.
3. end with a clove.scissors leg lashing. can be spread out. if u wan to not make it spread. u can tie a clove again. although tat defeats the purpose of sheer lashing.

(Credit to John! )

Ya, so good luck in your upcoming retest! Remember Tingyit sir want 100% passes :)

Wenhao

ok for tmr campcraft revision training pls wear UNIT T-SHIRT and TRACK PANTS


this is the email Nicholas sir sent

Dear Sec 2s,

You are to come in unit T-shirt and track pants for the campcraft revision training tomorrow.

Gather at 1540h. Training should end by 1720h.

Try to bring along twine for tomorrow's training.

So far, Zhen Quan sir told me that only John cannot come for the training tomorrow. If you have not emailed us about not coming for tomorrow's training, here's your chance to do so.

Regards,

Nicholas Tang

random photo

whose in charge of this blog???
can use this photo..... =D

our dear NCOs...
cyas =D

Ok guys,

A few things to address:

1) IMPORTANT: Reply to Zhen Quan sir's email ASAP on the dates for the extra campcraft trainings! Dun put him on a spot hor :)

2) The sub-i/c thingy, someone said that Yong Rui is in 2O2, and i just realised it is XD Sorry for the mix up. I went to the Attendance/Promotions thingy to check the classes and they out there Yong Rui was in 2O3. [NCOs take note! :)]

3) Boots.....
Make them shiny! I used Randy's method and believe me, it works like god. A few things to note though. After burning the kiwi must wait for a period of time and then use a wet cloth to wipe. DUN IMMEDIATELY WIPE. IT WILL SCREW YOUR BOOTS LIKE HELL. And of course dun wait too long also.. If not wun be effective liao XD

Yea so thats about it. Remeber to check your emails regularly!!

Wenhao :)
{ the "enthu" CADET! :) }

*update*
okay! finally found the tune for i ask my love.
and i found lots of sick NS cheers . xD
ok. sing to the tune of RIVER OF OHIO
-john ]:

okay guys (= and girls.
remember the cheer tingyit taught us? guess whut. its not inside hcinpcc cheers. but found it! (=
I ask my love, to take a walk
To take a walk, down Orchard Road
By pass Mandarin, to Centrepoint
Where we had lunch, at McDonald
We had fillet, and apple pie
And share a cup, of lemon lime
I hold her hands, look into her eyes
And asked her to, be my Valentine
Now I'm confined, in NPCC I missed her so,
my sweet honey I promised her,
when I booked out I called her out,
and date her out
There was one night, we went night hike
There was no light, so we use torchlight
Under the clear moonlight, look into her eyes I asked her to,
be my future wife
But she rejected me, she turned me down
She turned her head, and said good-bye
I was so sad, now that she had gone
So I turned my way to the airport
When I reached airport, I was alone
I looked around, and saw my love
There was one guy, standing beside her
I was so sad and departed
So I named this song, a sad sad song
Coz it breaks my heart, and filled with tears
Oh my darling, now that you have gone
Let me alone to sing this song
There was one day, I saw a girl
Who looks alike,
my beloved I ran to her,
gently hold her hands
Then I realized, she is not mine
aww... so emo D:
nicholas! u got someone abt as emo as u!
D:
mmm... next PT lets sing this! :D
-john ]:

Hi,

As promised, the sub-i/c shall be as follows (arranged by class):

2A1: Yeep Tat Wye
2A2: Marcus Tan Wei Xuan
2A3: Lau Zhen Xiang
2A4: Cheng Wenhao

2I1: Aldric Bek Zhen Feng
2I2: Teoh Jian Kai Darren
2I3: Tan Poh Boon John

2O2: Daniel Tan
2O3: Randy Poon Jun Yuan
2O4: Ng Eng Chuan

2P1: New Jin Rui
2P2: Jonathan Wong Wing Hoy

(2O1, 2P3 are omitted as that class has only 1 cadet in the squad, so he will take charge whenever neccesary. 2O1 - Guan Xiong, 2P3 - Norman Lin)

So thats basically about the sub-i/cs. They will help Randy with the gloves sizes first.

Cheers
Wenhao :)

Hi,



This post is about the badges on your uniform, as Nicholas sir said.


Polish your badges using autosol! Does not require any liquid or whatever else. After that clean off using a tissue.


After putting your nbadges onto your uniform, wipe them with a tissue again to clear any oily substances left by your hand :)

Yea, thats about it.

Hopefully 0 badges will be consfiscated next training! :)

Wenhao

Oh yea,
(P.S. This is like not important so kindly read the post below before reading this )

In response to dunno whose suggestion about squad contacting,
I have another suggestion :)
Which is to...
Get a enthu and reliable person from each class to be like a sub-i/c.
Great onot? (LOL.)
The idea basically is to:
Get these sub-i/cs to inform and make sure every npcc cadet in his class knows what is going on for the next day's training, and they can call to inform them in the night. (Its sort of like easier to contact people in your class right? :D)

Haha. I know its sort of extra, but it doesnt hurts right? =p

Regards,
Wenhao

*****
Friday's training overview:
1) Arms drill: Full uniform
2) PT: PT Kit (UNIT T-SHIRT)

- Fall in by 2.45pm

*****

Hi again。

Um, yea you all saw what happened today :(
Oh please, STANDARDIZE your attire!!


Like, whats so difficult about checking your emails?
I understand that its the test period, everyone mugging like dunno what,
come to school like ghost like that, not enough sleep?
Hey, but at least you could spent like at least 1 minute to check your emails before you go to sleep right?
I dont see what so difficult about typing your email address and password and clicking on some buttons to find out whats happening...

Some of you say email cannot log in, or yahoo, hotmail or whatever got problem, thats why WE HAVE THIS BLOG !!! :)

Our few enthu squadmates will post whats going on, what we will be doing and what we need to bring for trainings, so don't let their efforts go to waste yea?

Sorry for making you read this quite long post :)

Regards,
Wenhao

Hey all I got a suggestion for squad contacting.
Why not use MSN as another way? Cause MSN can keep spamming messages and nudges to irritate that person to no end =.= lol and MSN is free anyway.
If everybody agrees with this suggestion, put your MSN into the C-Box.

Refering to Zhen Quan Sir's email:

"Due to the large percentage of failure, we will be giving you 1 last chance to pass the test.
We will be arranging 2 revision sessions.

1. 3rd March (Tues), from 3.40pm

2. 9th March (Mon), 2.40pm

You are required to attend at least ONE of the revision sessions, preferably both if you can make it, even if you had already passed it the previous time round.
The retest itself is on 20th March. Further details will be disseminated at a later date.
Please reply if you are unable to attend both the revision trainings (eg 3rd language) or the retest itself."

So all the failures(I'm one of them anyway) remember to keep either your Tuesday or Monday free for the revision session.

-Ng Eng Chuan

Ok I'm posting this message on behalf of Bryan.

Somebody took his track pants, which is size S or whatever, and was inside-out(that means the white part inside the pants is facing outside), and left him with a size M track pants, if anybody took his track pants by mistake, please return it to him.

-Ng Eng Chuan

Yea as Eng Chuan said, PE shirt w.e.f. tomorrow. No more Unit T le. So no excuse to say on Fridays that your Unit T just washed haven dry :)

And of course for tomorrow's training, PLEASE BRING A PACKET OF INSTANT NOODLES !! That applies to everyone. And for god's sake pls stop forgetting to bring your spec hooks. I don't see whats the problem with having them on all time.

Yea so that should be about it.

Wenhao

From Javan Sir's email:

"Please note that from now onwards, you all are to wear school PE T-shirt for Wednesday Trainings."

So that means no more unit T-shirt for Wednesday trainings, only if asked to wear. So the attire for all Wednesday trainings is

1. PE T-shirt
2. PE Pants(obvious) [and probably trackpants]
3. White Socks
4. Spectacle Hooks

Pls check your email oftenly

Hi all,

Jus a reminder, tomorrow is our Road Safety Park Marshall Duty.
Gather at the SALT Centre at 1.20pm in Full NPCC Uniform !
And bring along a pen (make sure it has ink haha).

You will be excused from lessons from 12.40pm onwards, so have your lunch and dash down to the SALT Centre and get ready! :)
You will be expected to be released back in school by 5.45pm.

Oh ya by the way... I invited the whole squad to be authors of this blog, and to my disappointment only like less than half the squad read it.
Doesn't this prove that many of us do not read their emails oftenly?
Haha. Think about it.

Regards,
CDT Cheng Wenhao :(

Keep up the good work guys!

ENTHU!!!

Hi all pls be enthu abt NPCC!!! :):):) <3 NPCC!

ur enthu squadmate

Step 1: Get the things you need.
- Kiwi
- A candle and matchsticks
-2 Pieces of cloth ( Best if they are from your old clothings )
- Water...
- Boots ( Abit obvious... )
Step 2: Use the first cloth and apply a bit of Kiwi on it.


Step 3: Start applying the Kiwi around the boot cap. The boot will look something like that after spreading the Kiwi. Let the Kiwi on your boots dry after applying it on the boot cap.

Step 4: Light the candle! =) (PG)

Step 5: BURN THE BOOTS. Jk la just burn the layer of Kiwi so that it will stick to the boots. Note: After you "burnt your boots", it might not be shining YET. But dun worry. =)



Step 6: Use the 2nd cloth and wet it with water.

Step 7: Use the 2nd cloth and polish the boots.( The way you applied Kiwi to the boots ). This will make your boots shine more BUT it is still not shiny enough YET! Let the water on your boots dry before continueing to step 8.

Step 8: Apply another layer of Kiwi using the 1st cloth. ( Similar to step 3 )


Step 9: Use the wet cloth and polish the boots again.
AND TAAA DAAA YOU GT A PAIR OF DAM SHINY BOOTS.

Hi again.

This is to add on to randy's post about polishing your boots.
(http://imjuzanormalpeople.blogspot.com)
hehe.

Weilin sir also taught me how to make your boots SHINY :)
His method was a no-burning-required method .
Anyways, I tried out both his method and randy's method and I felt that both's outcome were almost the same.

Here's Weilin sir's method:

Items req.:
Kiwi, Water, Cloth! :)

Step 1: Wet your cloth and sort of 'coat' the boot with water. Literally, just wet the boot -.-
Dun let it dry yet!

Step 2: Apply a suitable amount of Kiwi (not too little, not too much) so that it can cover you boot with a layer of it just nicely.

Step 3: Keeping rubbing in a circular motion around the whole boot.
Do this until the water dries out and - tada! Your boot is shiny :)

P.S. Not advisable to use hair dryer or whatever mechanism to dry it.

Yea that about it :)
Hope you find it useful!

Cheers,
Wenhao
