This blog is finally being updated by someone other than LTA Hozefa

Yesterday was the very first training the sec 3's organized after going through SNCO course

Training was not really tough but more on the fun side

We started of with a very non strenuous PT

Then it was time for some activities

There were 2 groups. Both had a mixture of sec 1's and sec 2's

Mike and Whisky

There were altogether 4 stations

2 in school and another 2 in Punggol Park

In school there were the Trust and rescue stations

The Trust station was basically guiding your fellow squad mates while they're blindfolded over a series of obstacles

In the rescue station, the sec 2's were given and opportunity to practise their leadership skills by demonstrating the different rescue techniques

2 sec 1's would be casualties and the sec 2's had to demonstrate how to rescue them before the sec 1's attempt it

This allowed the sec 2's to have early practice of teaching and the sec 1's to have early exposure to Rescue techniques which they would be learning next year

On to Punggol park

There were the Fitness and Teamwork stations

In the fitness station the cadets did push ups, sit ups etc

In the Teamwork station, they really had quite a difficult time

There were 13 boxes, each made of masking tape placed on the floor

The whole group had to cross over these boxes in a specific path while holding hands (Yes the sec 3's made them do it)

Only 2 feet could be in 1 box at anytime

So they really had to rack their brains. Especially at the "Junctions"

There was a round 2 where they could not communicate at all

At the end of the day, everyone was tired but had fun

The groups were being graded and the winning group was Mike

And the runner up was Whisky

The sec 3's hope that everyone learnt something and that relations between the sec'1 and 2's improved
