*What i meant was they have completed their ns by now. Im the
only 1 left now to complete my ns in the pioneer team that was sent
by NCC. The oldest in the team was 20 & i was 17, the youngest
in the team of 10 back in June 2003.
*Yep true. Well the organisation have been changing a lot of
times within a short period of time.It seems that the NCC training
plan seem to focus on more fun & learning for the younger
cadets(sec 1 to 3) while seniors(sec 4 to ITE,JC,MI,Poly) are more
open to adventure training conducted by SAF alone or joint with
NCC. For eg. SAF Basic Airborne Course, NDU Class 3 Basic Diving
Course, Private Pilot License (PPL), Jungle Training(Ex-Lancer),
Desert Trekking(India), Glider Flying Course(India), Combat
Engineers Experiental Camp, 3rd Div Experiental Camp, Service
learning (India & Thailand), Visit to (Ex-Crescendo,
Ex-Thunderwarrior, Ex Starlight), International Cadet Exchange
Programs(ICEP) involving 7 countries & more coming up. Even our
training ground in HQ NCC in SAF Amoy Quee Camp have been upgraded
with MOC(motivational obstacle Course,easy one!), High & Low
elements, Rapelling Station(Currently our Clt's undergo Rapelling
training. During our recent Affirmation Ceremony (2005),we
displayed the vast rapelling techniques employed & taught to us
by SAF), FlyingFox tower cum Rapel station & PaintBall Arena to
name a few. If you ask me why all these trainings, i have no idea.
In fact for the next 5 yrs(they have planned this) the training
syllabus would be intensively revised. Hopefully at the end of the
day, the cadets will learn valuable skills & knowledge that
would well serve this nations need.
