Bukit Batok Sea,

think of a nickname to call the unit. For e.g. Maris Stella is called Barracudas if I'm not wrong. So suggest a name, a logical one that is, on the tagboard. And possibly, with the nickname, we could also come up with a unit t-shirt. More on that later but first, a nickname?

Hello BBSS NCC SEA,

The end of the year is reaching. Which means a new year is coming. Which means a new start. So right now, I would appeal to all cadets, regardless of which Part or Company or Rank you belong or hold, to submit a written essay about

- your thoughts on the unit
- what was your best/worst(or both) moment of the year
- how you hope the unit could improve
- what would be your way to run the unit (for Part B and C)
- what do you think is the unit's weakest link

You do not need to write about all the topics above though its recommended. Also, you may raise up any topic you think is relevant. Every essay would be strictly confidential and only 3 person will read about it, YOU, Me(C/2LT Haqiz) and C/2LT Clarence. So please, for the sake of the unit, submit your essays by end of November. :) And it's your holidays! Don't tell me you have no time.

Edit: Submit your essays to my email, hahaworld92@hotmail.com.

Happy Holidays.

C/2LT Haqiz

BBSS Opening Ceremony: Cadets involved in Walkway duty

Good job to all cadets involved in the walkway duty. For many, this is your first time representing NCC(SEA) at a major event in BBSS. Rest assure that this will not be the last time, there will be more to come. Do not have this mindset that doing duty is a waste of time. Doing duties like this helps you gain experience and this experience will be useful in the near future.

Throughout the rehearsals, I have seen slight improvements in term of your behavior, attitude, turnout or bearing, but there is still room for improvements.

Your hard work has paid off, yesterday I can see most of you standing smart and proud welcoming the Guest Of Honor. You guys have indeed do NCC and BBSS proud !

As I have mentioned earlier, Opening Ceremony will be the last event that i will assist in. You may or may not see me in the unit again
Before I forget, a big thank you to all cadets and officers for making my stay in the unit a good and enjoyable one.

I would like to wish all of you a good and memorable time in BBSS NCC(SEA). Do remember at all time to "Be Our Best"

To all cadets involved in NCC Day Parade Sea GOH contingent,

Date of 1st rehearsal: 26 June 2009
Duration: 1400 – 1730 hr
Reporting venue & time: Amoy Quee Camp, HQ NCC, BLK 245, 1330 hr
Attire: No.4 long sleeve, peak cap & gloves

One IC from each school unit to report to the Contingent Commander, C/OFFR Haqiz or to me, C/OFFR Clarence.

Do NOT be late as we have to draw arms and probably put on the rifle slings as well.
Do NOT bring contraband items such as image capturing devices or camera handphones. It will slow down the booking in process since there will be many cadets coming in at around the same time.
Do remember to bring your headgear (beret) as well. The peak cap will only be used during the rehearsal.

Drink plenty of water the night before and have at least 7 hours of undisturbed rest.
Also, remember to have your lunch first before reporting. Only snacks will be provided.

How's your holidays so far?

I have decided to conduct training sometime next week. Most probably Thursday or Friday. Normal kind of training. Marching, some bends and hitches lessons, etc. Please do spread the message because i need to know the number of you people coming down. It can't be a training just for 3-6 people. Minimum number should be at least 15.

Do note that this training is voluntary, could be used as a make up training session and boost your attendance. Venue would be at school. Time is to be confirmed on a later date after i get the ideal response. Do inform me by either tagging on the tagboard or drop me an email (hahaworld92@hotmail.com)

Camp FEAST Phase 2 (25-26 April 2009)

Before attending Camp FEAST, I thought that the camp will be very strict and very challenging. I also thought about how the Amoy Quee camp looks like, as I have never been there before. In the bus on the way to Amoy Quee camp, all of us were excited as we knew that Camp FEAST is going to be fun.

Day 1

After alighting the bus and going to a block located at “Leadership road”, we were broken up into 6 different platoons: 1, 2, 3,4,5,6. After being broken up, we had to go to our platoons. There were many schools that joined us.

1010-1100hrs: Ice Breaker

My platoon had ice breaking games and Farkhanda made the most friends after the games. The games were very interactive.

1110-1200hrs: Low elements

The low elements were fun, especially the “Tire”, where we needed to carry a person through a huge tire. The aim of the game was to work as a team. After doing the low elements, we had our lunch. We had Nasi Goreng and it was spicy.

1300-1420hrs: Paintball

Paintball was the activity that I least enjoyed as we only got to hit targets and there were only 12 rounds. I think that paintball is an activity that requires a lot of accuracy.

1450-1610hrs: Rock Climbing

Rock climbing was a lot harder than I thought. There were so little rocks and they were all so small. After Rock Climbing, there was the High Elements, which was my favourite of all the activities above. High elements ended at 1740hrs and all of us went back to our bunks.

Camp Feast Night

All of us enjoyed ourselves a lot here! We sang, some people danced and all of us played the bomb game, which made me lose my voice. After camp FEAST night, all of us went to sleep. I was sad as there was no night walk.

Day 2

Day 2 was not as fun as day 1, as we needed to leave camp. We had Archery, Motivational Obstacle Course, rappelling and flying fox. After these activities, it rained. We had to wait an hour until the rain stops and finally, we could return to school. I missed my new friends, hopefully we could meet again.
I enjoyed the camp a lot and realised that although it was a little bit strict, it did not stop us from having fun.

To all,

Happy June holidays to all Sea Cadets! Enjoy the month long break. (:
______________________________________________________________

To Part A,

How was 1 star kayaking course? Hope that all of you had fun and learned a lot from your instructors. And, how was Camp FEAST too? I would like one of you or maybe a group of you to write a post of about 150-200words and send it to me. I'll post it up on the blog so that your peers, seniors and friends can learn more about what you have done during the camp. Take it like a newsletter article. Interested parties, please tag on the tagboard and leave your email. I will contact you via email soon.
______________________________________________________________

To Part B,

How has training been so far? It's been long since I went only for your trainings. I apologize for that. Any new happenings? Or questions that you might have? Feel free to approach me.
______________________________________________________________

To Part C,

Now that you have taken over the Unit, how do you find trainings? Any problems that you might want to bring up to your cadet officers? Specialist course is coming up (after AKE). Hope that you are prepared for it. Looking at the tabulated scores for your Footdrill Mutuals test conducted by C/OFFR Haqiz, I can say that improvements have to be made. It is the last few weeks to Specialist course, please do approach your cadet officers or your seniors (if they are free) for help. I'm sure they are all more than willing to share with you their experiences. If you have any questions regarding Specialist course, please collate them and ask me. Or, send them to my email (get from Asshida).

And, where are the Part C volunteers who can help manage this blog?
______________________________________________________________

To the NCC Day Parade Sea GOH contingent cadets,

I hope that your No. 1 uniforms are in proper condition. Please ensure that you have the right amount of buttons, the correct side for each pair of gloves and that your top and bottom of the uniform and the shoes are fitting. You do not want to look sloppy in it. If you need to have any part of the uniform changed, please call MAJ Tan before you go down. Sea Logistics store is usually opened on Tuesdays. But, call at least a day before to check.

Good luck for your Mid-Year Examinations. Study hard and aim for As. And after that, we will have a great time in NCC trainings. I foresee Part As to have Camp Feast after your Mid Years, but its not confirmed yet. Part Bs Camp Steel is most probably next term. Part Cs, Specialists Course is coming. Prepared? If not, do suggest some days where everyone is free. Then we(the Cadet Officers and hopefully some Part Ds) can help you with your preparations.

Good luck once again. I'm sure you people can't wait for pure PT trainings.

Good performance for the final rehearsal for AAC. There's always room for improvement but keep up the good work! This Friday is going to be the actual parade.

Remember to have minimum 7hrs of undisturbed sleep the night before the actual parade day and drink plenty of water.

______________________________________________________________

To the Part Cs,

Mini Kayaking Expedition(MKE) is on Saturday till Sunday. Please do have enough rest since there would be a parade the day before. Remember to drink plenty of water as well!

______________________________________________________________

To the Part Ds (in advance),

Your Cadet Officers, C/OFFRs Haqiz, Syahirah and I will not be able to attend the last training with your batch as the instructors. I sincerely apologise on behalf of them including myself as we will miss your Passing-out Parade as well as the AAC Parade. We are down for MKE this time round. It has been an enjoyable and meaningful experience working with your batch. There may have been ups and downs but we've pulled through. And, here you are. Before the entire Unit. On your POP day.

Thanks for all the great moments together as instructors and us, as the mentors/auxillary instructors. Hope to see some of you back in action once again at the end of the year as Cadet Officers. All the best to your O levels / N levels!

To all Part Bs(again),

If you have not sewn on your LCP rank by now, please do so by Friday, 9 Jan 2009. I noticed that majority (or is it all?) of you do not have any badges. Here's some suggestions. If you haven't gotten them yourself already.

NAPFA badges (Bronze, Silver, Gold):
Approach ASM with the number of Bronze, Silver, Gold badges needed for Part Bs. There is a plastic bag of NAPFA badges in the store. Hopefully, it's enough for all. If not, you can always follow the same method as for your Total Defence Bronze badge (mentioned further on in the post). Last time I asked, it was priced at $1/pc at Beach Rd.

Kayaking Badge*/Part A Proficiency Badge*:
Approach ASM or any of the SSGs with a nominal roll of the Part B cadets who qualify for these badges. The two badges can only be issued by HQ NCC. ASM will then prepare a Badges Indent form for CO to endorse and submit to HQ.

*NOTE: If you can get this done before Trainfire tomorrow, there may be chance for you to get it really soon.

Total Defence(TD) Bronze Badge*:
Same as the previous badges, they can also be issued by HQ NCC. In a matter of fact, all badges/ranks are issued by HQ. It just takes quite some time for you to receive them. You can always try the same way as the Kayaking/Proficiency Badge and approach ASM with the nominal roll.
But, the recommended method to get your TD Bronze badge asap is to:
1) Get the amount of badges needed and the names of the cadets who are buying
2) One or a few of you head down to Beach Rd one of these days and buy the badges with money collected from those buying (the last time I asked, it was priced at $2.50/pc)
3) Give the badges to their owners and you're done

LCP Rank:
This is also be issued by HQ NCC. But, similar to the kayaking and proficiency badges, it'll take time for the forms to be processed. So, we suggest that you buy them instead.

Do contact your seniors or leave a message on the tagboard if you come across any problems on this issue. I'll do my best to address the problems/questions asap.

To All Part Bs,

As all of you should know by now, there will be Trainfire at HQ NCC, Amoy Quee Camp, on Thursday, 8th Jan 2009. Do remember to read up on what ever Trainfire notes that you may have from previous Trainfire sessions last year.

Also, don't forget to bring the following items:

1. Headgear (Beret, Jockey Cap)
2. Water Bottle
3. Ez-link card/IC (for drawing of weapon)

Be sure to be on your best behaviour, look out for one another and respect the instructors and staffs at HQ. Be it whether they are Cadet Officers or NCC/SAF Personnel.

Ensure that you have a proper haircut especially for the male cadets and for the female cadets, please remember to bring your hair net.

Do not bring excess valuables such as MP3s, excess cash etc to be safe. Most importantly, DO NOT bring camera-handphones and cameras.

FYI: C/OFFR Chwan Rong and I will be present at the Trainfire as well.

To all BBSS Sea Cadets,

It's the start of a new year. Welcome back!

A big congratulations to all cadets who have been promoted with effect from 2nd Jan 2009. And also to SSG Lee Wei Ting on his appointment as Assistant Sergeant Major.

I am sure all of you will know this by now. "With great power, comes great responsibility"
With most of you being promoted, it would mean you have achieved a certain standard. Juniors will look up to you and take you as their role model.

Through this year and the years to come, all of you will get a chance to hold leadership appointments. Be it in a small section or even taking the entire Unit. Take these chances to learn from your seniors and from your experiences as only from these, will you be able to become better leaders. Remember, lead by example and you'll eventually have followers who will stick by you when the going gets tough.

Teamwork is key to achieve our goals. So, let's all work together to achieve and maintain our status as a GOLD Unit.

ALL TOGETHER !

Hi !! Wei Ting here , the part Cs has taken over the unit for about half a year already. Any comments and suggestions about the training , please feel free to approach any instructors (we wont eat you up or anything) .We are here to make the unit a better one isn't it ?

For now, please take note of the following event ,
Sea competition(Bends and Hitches) - 28/8/08
Sea Competition(Kayaking) - 2/9/08 and 3/9/08
Challenge Quest - 23/10/08

All these events are top priority for school training's nowadays.
These events will greatly affect our stand in the Best Unit Competition. Gold , silver or bronze will depend on all this competition.The result of competitions is important, but dont forget about the attendance in normal school training.It is equally as important.

For the sea competition(kayaking), it will be at upper seletar sea training centre which is a new training centre. The route will be a straight line route , this will test your acceleration skill and also the ability to kayak in a straight line using the explorer kayak.

When i have the time, i will post up pictures of the new training centre for you to get a rough idea of how the place look like .

Congratulation to the 5 cadets that have attended and completed it with the rank of Staff Sergeant. However, with a greater rank comes a higher responsibilities, I hope that you guys will take what you have learned throughout the course and passed on all the good stuff to your juniors or even your own friends!

Especially congratulation to Clarence, who have been awarded the overall course best cadet and the company best cadet for the senior specialists' course, and also to the rest who have been nominated to be the company best! To all those who who have not win away any awards, don't be disheartened if you know you have tried your best! There will still be many chances for you to learn and improve yourselves!

To those that weren't selected for the Senior Specialists' Course, don't be disappointed, there will still be chances where you can show your talents and good points, there will also be time where you can excel yourself. Don't think that only Staff Sergeants can lead and get all the great stuff, the NCC will also acknowledge the hard work of the specialists, and if you are willing to work and show that you can do it, you will find something great that you never even had dreamt of!
