Hope everyone is settling in the new school nicely.

Hey Cadets.
I hope your exam results are great.

Anyway, all of you sould know by now
that next wednesday will be our last
training of the year and we will have the
change of command parade where CPT Pang will hand
over authority to LTA Wee .
Thus, LTA Wee will lead our unit after CPT Pang steps down.
Sadly, Next week's training will be LTA Hozefa's last training with
all of us.

Sec 2s and 3s and previous batches, all of us know that
LTA Hozefa and CPT Pang brought many changes to this unit,
Many Significant changes.
Too bad for the sec 1 batch for 2010 , is that they would
not have LTA Hozefa and CPT Pang's guidence to help them along.
Like the rest of us did.

So cadets and fellow sec 3 teammates.
Lets make their last training with us a memorial one for them.
Put on a great show during the parade .
And thank them whenever you have the chance to on wednesday.
Thank them for changing our lives, changing our view of life
and most importantly, thank them for making this unit what it is now.

Regards,
SSG Dzul

Hey Cadets!
Last Sunday, was the Passing Out Parade for the Unit Drill Instructor Course.
Two Montfort SNCOs went for the course and had sucessfully completed the course!
Those Two are, CSM Gerard Tan And ASM Shaun Chia
They went through a grueling 4 day course at HTA, going through drills
drills and more drills!!
They learnt how to teach drills too.
So the next time you see them wearing their Full U.
You'll see them wearing the White And Orange Lanyard.
Congrats to them both!

Hey people, This is SSG Dzul posting on this
prestigious MFSS NCDCC blog for the first time. So bear with me (:

As you all know, we just had our 3rd Annual Investiture Parade.
Personally, every time we have an investiture parade, i will look back
at the first investiture parade. And realised how much we have grown in
just a short period of 2-3 years. Maybe my fellow sec 3s and Officers who
has been in this unit since its start will agree with me.
Lets talk about all three investitures that i have been through.And note down
how different it was.

Our First Investiture, I still remember. The GOH marched out with the
song from star wars. And Promotion took place at the same time as the parade.
Our Parade Commander for that parade was LTA Hozefa.
CSM, Caleb Castro was GOH Commander. 5 SNCOs were given their post.

Our Second Investiture , Unfortunately it literary rained on our parade.
But we still had a sucessful parade. Parade Commander was our WO Fredrick.
And as the same as last year, Supporting Contingent didnt march out.
But the parade was grander. Again, 5 SNCOs were given their post.

Our Third Investiture,Thankfully It didnt rained like last year.
This was our most sucessful parade to date. As the first time,
Principal attended the parade for the first time.
The Montfort Unit flag was also shown to Montfort for the first time.
And the supporting Contingents marched out for the first time!
And for the first time in Montfort, 8 SNCOs were given their Post
Parade commander, SSG Gerard Tan And Much thanks to Montfort Band
for providing drums to the parade! Thanks to the AV Crew too.
All of you have helped out in this parade alot. Making it a bigger sucess!

As you can see, Montfort has seriously grown alot. From almost nothing, We have
got the gold award. One of the reasons why we got it? Its our Heritage.
We have become a fomidable unit , a force not to be reckoned with.
No longer will we be be underestimated as long as everyone of us uphold
the unique Montfort Standard.

However , With good news , comes the bad news.
After 4 years of sevice in NCDCC , LTA Hozefa will be leaving Montfort, NCDCC and Singapore
to further his studies overseas for three years.
And CPT Pang will be transfered to MOE HQ.
On Behalf of the whole unit, I thank LTA Hozefa and CPT Pang, for shaping this unit to
what it has become today. Thanks for all the memories, be it good or bad. Because we know
what you do to us, Its for our own good.
today.

Regards,
SSG Dzul

Dear Cadets,

Firstly, congratulations to all of you on the occasion of the Montfort NCDCC Unit being awarded the GOLD Award for the UOPA. This is the first time that NCDCC is conducting a UOPA and our unit has made history by being the first four schools to win the Gold Award ever in the history of NCDCC.

This certainly could not have been possible without the hard work that all of you and your seniors that have passed out have put in to make our unit what it is today. Everytime you attended trainings, studied hard for a proficiency badge, took part in a community service activty, took part in activities organised by HQ NCDCC, you have helped the unit take one step closer towards the gold award.

Credit also goes to the sec 4 batch that passed out last year. They were the pioneer batch of the unit and all of them worked hard to make NCDCC what it is today.

Many of you would remember the hard work you put in and all the time you sacrificed for events such as the Founders' Day GOH last year, the Investitutre Parades, National Day Parades, Community Bonding Days, camps and training. All you effort has borne fruit right now.

A lot of credit also goes to our officers who have worked so hard to make this unit a successful one, especially our OC, Cpt Kevin Pang who has steered the unit towards excellance.

But remember one thing. The Gold Award is really about the passion you bring with you to this CCA. The enthusiasm you show, the friendships you have built, the teamwork you practice and the excellance you portray is the real reason we got this award.

We worked as a team together to achieve this. Now let us go soar higher towards many golds ahead!

Regards,
Hozefa

Dear Cadets,

In less than a week, we will have our most important event of the year, the Annual Montfort Secondary School NCDCC Unit Investiture Parade 2008.

This week will be full of practices and we will have lots of work to do to polish up our drills on the parade square to preparing the logistics required for the parade.

Most of you will be receiving badges and awards. Your parents have been invited to the parade and the officers look forward to meeting them.

Please work hard to make this parade the best one possible!

I would also like to inform you that Mr Vincent Wong will be joining our unit. Some of you may have seen him at the last Saturday's training. Let us all warmly welcome him into the NCDCC family.

I will be away at Bangkok till the 22nd of August representing Singapore in the East Asian Youth Leader's Forum. Please do your best while I'm away and look forward to seeing a perfect parade when I see you guys at the camp on Friday.

Regards,
Hozefa
