LEARN LEAD & SERVE

FIRST IN LAST OUT

Friday, June 6, 2008

Hey cadets!

Hope you guys are enjoying your holidays. I think many of you have had the opportunity to participate in many exciting civil defence, leadership and adventure activities over the last few weeks through ncdcc.

Some of you were part of the very exciting 'Exercise Northstar'. This exercise simulated a scenario where a cruise ship was on fire and a mass casualty event occured. Many of you had related to your officers how much you had learnt seeing SCDF officers working with many related agencies to ensure that the 'casualties' were evacuated quickly and that many many lives were saved. For those of you who had missed this exciting opportunity, not to worry, NCDCC will provide many more such exciting opportunities ahead!

Six sec 1 cadets went for the Adventure Challenge organised by HQ NCDCC at the HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok Adventure Centre. I'm sure they had a lot of fun their pushing their limits, overcoming their fears and making many new friends with cadets from other units.

Last week, a 2-day 1-night leadership training camp was organised for selected sec 3 cadets who were earmarked for promotion to Staff Sergeant and to become the new leaders of the unit. The camp was organised by Cpt Kevin Pang, Lta Hozefa, WO Caleb castro and WO Johnathan Ng. The trainees went through team building activities, a scenario based exercise, footdrill training, MOI and a night hike.

This week, the cadets that were trained in the leadership training camp attended a 5-day SNCO course organised by HQ NCDCC at the Home Team Academy. There they learnt about being a better leader by inspiring their cadets to greatness, footdrills (Gold badge), MOI and many various aspects of being a good SNCO. They were awarded their certificates of completion by Commandant NCDCC, LTC Lim Kah Seng.


For the cadets from Bravo and Delta, if you aspire to be SNCOs just like your seniors, work hard over the next 1-2 years and one day you will emerge as leaders just like them!

Happy Holidays!
