December 2009 schedule

Dear all,

Hope you had a good rest after our Company Camp ended on Thursday. We're currently compiling photos of the year's events so if you have any to contribute, please pass them to either of us.

A reminder for the training dates for December 2009:
1. Mon 28/12/09 12-4 pm
2. Tues 29/12/09 8-12 pm
3. Wed 30/12/09 8-12 pm
You'll be meeting on these three dates to practise the Freestyle Drill item as well as to touch up the Orientation preparation.

Before 28/12/09, we would also expect your respective parts to have already started and done most work for Orientation. i.e. do not come to school on 28/12/09 without having done any preparation at all! Meet up at your own free time during December to work on this. We believe you will have great ideas...

Part As '09:
1. NCC Noticeboard
2. Video montage (duration: 1 min; purpose: showcase different activities of kc ncc; to be shown during 5-min presentation during CCA Fair 2010)
3. Pamphlets
- come up with a few templates & submit designs to us for selection

Part Cs '09:
1. NCC storeroom:
(a) design to be painted (submit to teacher-officers before buying paint)
(b) re-organization of store items + set up catalogue/store records
2. NCC display board (showcased during CCA Fair 2010)
3. Co-ordinate overall Orientation effort (different items showcased at NCC's booth during CCA Fair 2010)

Have a good rest this holidays, cadets. Do work on your PT standard as well during this holidays... Exercise a few times a week, e.g. by jogging/doing pushups/situps/etc. You can meet to exercise together or do it at your own time. Remember, if you're not satisfied with your fitness now, then do something about it! Don't wait till January before you work on it as PT is something that takes time to build up.

Best regards,
Ma'am Koh & Ma'am Tan

Upcoming trips by HQ NCC for Part Cs

Dear cadets,

There would be a few trips coming up at the end of the year organised by HQ NCC for Part C cadets.

Venue: Queensland, Australia

Aims:
a. To improve the goodwill between HQ NCC and the Australian Cadet Corps under the Cadet Exchange Programme, as encompassed in the NCC 21 Masterplan.
b. To observe SAF troops training in SWBTA in Queensland, Australia for the purpose of exposing NCC cadets to live-firing, troop and vehicle movement in an SAF Overseas Training Base so as to increase military awareness in NCC Cadets.
c. To reward deserving NCC Officers, Cadet Officers and Cadets for their outstanding contributions to the organization.

Programme:
a. Courtesy-call.
The NCC Delegation will make a courtesy call to Base Commander. After a briefing, the NCC Delegation leader will present a memento to the Base Commander.
b. Visit to SAF Training Activities.
To experience SAF Overseas training, the NCC Delegation will observe a SAF unit conducting live-firing and unit training.
c. Cadet Exchange with Australia.
Our NCC Officers and Cadets will meet up with their Australian counterparts under the Cadet Exchange Programme, interact and exchange training ideas as well as explore new opportunities for future visits.
d. Adventure Training.
Participants will undergo a 1 day adventure programme in Queensland – Capricorn Caves where they may experience adventure caving activities.

Cost: $150 (the rest would be subsidized by NCC)

There are 10 places for NCC cadets and 2 teacher-officers for this trip.

2. Mt Ophir Expedition

Date: Monday 2/11/09- Wednesday 4/11/09
Venue: Mt Ophir, Malaysia

Note that this would be held during the Sec 3 Structured Lessons during November so you'll be missing 3 days of lessons if you sign up for this.

There are 36 places for Part C cadets from East District.

3. Outward Bound Sabah

Date: Sat 12/12/09- Wed 23/12/09
Venue: Sabah, Malaysia

Only 8 places are allocated to East District. This is strictly for Singapore Citizens, not for PRs or non-citizens. Cadets have to undergo their own medical check-up. The cost is not fixed yet but last year's rate was $100.

4. Whitewater Rafting Expedition to Perak

There would no Whitewater Rafting Expedition to Perak this November.

If any of you is interested in Exercise Wallaby, Mt Ophir or OB Sabah, let me know and I'll give you more details and the application form. I'd strongly encourage you to sign up for any of these trips to make the most out of your NCC experience. Mt Ophir is also on a first-come-first-served basis so get back to me as soon as possible so I can inform HQ NCC.

Have a good term 4 ahead, cadets.

Yours sincerely,
Ma'am Koh
