Weekly Update (22 July 2016)

‌Today, we learnt how fall in and to fall out. The Cadet Inspectors also re-teach some of the drills for those who did not came for the previous training it was a great time for me to refresh my memory even though I still can’t remember the names of the drills. Anyways, the new drills we learn was `Ke-luar Baris´ and also some other drills. Then, after the drills segment, we had our campcraft segment. After changing, we recaped on the basic knots like the thumb, reef knot and more. One of the new things we learned was the `fireman's chair knot´. As I was tying the knot, I wonder what is actually the real meaning for the knot, and the seniors told me that the knot is actually used by the fire fighters to move the casualty from a higher ground to a lower ground. Than we had to do pumping for the mistakes we had made, one of it was that Cadet Leaders had to help us to carry the logistics back to NP room. At first I want to bring it back but the time we had left wasn’t enough for us to bring it back and it was our fault for not asking for time extension. Here, I want to say sorry to the Cadet Leaders and also thank them for helping us.

‌Today, we have learnt some new drills and also recap on some of our old drills. Before learning the new drills, the Cadet Inspectors helped us to check on our uniform and point out the part of the uniform we should take note of and what can we do to improve on it. For the new drills, we have learn how to dismiss for water break which is ‘Ke-luar Baris’ and dismissal which is ‘Bersurai’. We have also recap on how we should fall in and out. After the drills segment, we have our camp craft. We have try to tie the basic figure of 8 knots and lashing. When we were changing our uniform to PT-Kits, we took more than the time given, this teaches us about the importance of sense of urgency and teamwork. We also had a tedious punishment due to our mistakes we had done, "One For All, All For One" this will be the quote that will forever be in my mind. Overall, today’s training was tough and tedious but we enjoyed ourselves by learning new drills, we hope to cut down on our mistakes and have the sense of urgency at all times.
