6 July Weekly 2018 Training

It was our training after the June holidays.The weather

has been hot nowadays and most of my squad mates feel dizzy while wearing the beret.I hope that we could do drills under the sheltered area to keep us cool. Today we did hentak which was tiring, we could have communicate among ourselves like moving the eye balls to ask the squad to lock their arms.We also did marching drills, most of us liked it but we knew that there was more drill to come and we learnt the "easy" drills. Our favourite part was doing songs and cheers, we got to bond we each other more. We managed to change our uniforms back to pt kit in 9 min 55 sec the time given was 10 min. We were proud of ourselves but next training we will need more time as there were some absentees and there were people who never bring their uniform. My squad mates need to have responsibility, some of them keep losing parts of the uniform and forgetting to bring them. Lastly, some of the squad mates were casualty for almost the whole day they were feeling unwell. I hope that they gain more confidence every training.

Today’s training was exciting and interesting. Even though we forgot most of the drills or we did not know how to execute it, we still tried to do it. Examples of drills are turning from front to right or left while marching and eyes up look left while marching.

Some of us wanted to join the NDO(National Day Observance), it was amazing and awesome to finally do drills with the Sec 1s and Sec 3s together! It was also good to understand how the cadets or cadet leaders did for last year’s NDO because some of us think it will be easy but when we tried it, it was very tiring. After doing the drills, I felt refreshed from the drills as it woke me up

Camp craft was as good as the drills as most of us learnt new things and know more from before. We learned how to tie the Sheepshank, Manharness and Square Lashing
