Weekly Training Update (21 July 2017)

Today was one of the best training we ever had due to the reason that we did not have any punishment and we learned a new drill which taught us how to turn while marching. When we were practicing, we made a lot of mistakes and we had to keep repeating the drill but we managed to do it properly by the end of the day. It was also relaxing after our drills as we could change back to our PE attire and take long breaks after. It was exciting for me as it was the first time that we wore our full NPCC uniform during CCA. Today's training was very memorable for us.

Friday's training was tiring and repetitive but it did help me. I put in my all, which reflected in my actions even though I was not in GOH. In the supporting contingent, I had to endure staying in the same position for a while but it built my endurance. I had to revisit the basic drills for marching and how to march properly with 90 degrees forward and 45 degrees backwards arm swings. Even though it might have been tough and tiring, it definitely helped me to be a better NPCC cadet.

Today's training was a little different. We were rehearsing for the upcoming National Day Parade which will be held in school. Firstly, we were separated into different squads, Guard Of Honour and the Supporting Contingent. Although I was a little disappointed not being part of the Guard Of Honour, I still put in my best effort in being part of the Supporting Contingent. In my opinion, I felt that the National Day Parade rehearsal was a little boring as we kept repeating the same things over again. Being part of the Supporting Contingent, we were not given the privilege to march into the parade. Nonetheless, I still feel that today's National Day Parade rehearsal was meaningful and I have definitely learnt something from it.
