NYAA Campcraft

LOL I know that this is abit late.

15 August 2007
Hours completed: 1.5 hrs
Participants: Jeremy, YiWei, Sakib, Zhi Yang, Yi An, Nico

To prepare for the tent pitching in ATC, this campcraft session was organised to teach and train the sec 2s how to pitch a tent. The sec 3s who participated could revise and practice their tent pitching skills.

During the session, we practiced the various tent pitching skills such as pegging, tying of the tent guy loop, and also made ourselves more familiar with the procedure of pitching a tent.

However, due to lack of time, we did not pitch a complete tent. (Our tent did not have the outer sheet)

The procedure of pitching a tent is as follows:
1. Attached the horizontal pole to the vertical poles and get two people to hold it such that it is perpendicular to the ground.
2. Place the inner sheet over the poles and tie the 1.5m long twines to the hoops on the inner sheet using a bowline.
3. Determine the peg position and start pegging.
4. Tie the twine onto the peg using the tnet guy loop.
5. Place the outer sheet over the inner sheet.
6. Determine peg position and start pegging again.
7. Tie the outer sheet to the pegs with tent guy loops again.

Seniors

Hi,

This is to all sec three seniors.

Some of you might still be suffering from post ROD syndrome.

But i would like to tell you guys that the NCOs cannot do without seniors.

Though sometimes you guys joke and play around, which i can understand fully, you must still understand that there is a time to play and there is a time to be serious and working hard.

And study hard for your exams!

I hope to see a improved batch of seniors when i see you next time.

Thank You,
CI Zhan Liang

NCOs Evaluation

Hi,

This is to all NCOs. I would just like to say afew words.

First of all, it has been a month since you guys took over officially. Some of you have been performing up to standard while many of you have not. There has been afew occassions where some of you have shined while many occassions that neither of you did.

There was the ATC which i believe i havent talked to you guys about. But i do hope that all of you who went remember that specific line i spoke to you about. It is the Victorian Pride that we are talking about. Do the best you can to bring that up.

That brings me to the other point. There are many tasks that i have asked some of you to do. Most of you responded well.

Sakib did an excellent job collecting the NYAA forms.

YiWei did an excellent job organising kayaking.

However, afew tasks i have handed over are still incompleted, such as the badge chart as well as badge lists. This speaks volume about your responsibility.

The upcoming events such as the Unit Camp at end of year would be another great challenge to you guys. And i expect the proposal to be in by the end of september. Once my exams are over i will come after you guys.

Also, do set a good example to your juniors in whatever way possible.

As i take a step down for the month of septmeber, you guys still have yourself to be responsible to.

NIL SINE LABORE,

To secondary one and two cadets reading,

Be a good cadet. Appreciate what the NCOs are doing for you. Its for the unit. Its for the school.

NIL SINE NCOs,

All NPCC cadets are to don Full Uniform and participate. Should you have other activities on the same morning, you must cancel or postpone all other activities.
