Greetings,

The year is starting off with a big bang. I'm in the midst of preparing the NCC Challenge Quest presentation, sorting the administration for the Supernumerary selection and at the same time the preparations or the Affirmation Ceremony is kicking in.

Kindly pass the word around that the application for the Supernumerary Training Camp selection will close on 25 Jan 06. The response is truly overwhelming. Each District will only have 5 CLTs and 25 cadets for the Camp. The competition can only bring the status of the Supernumeraries to greater heights. Good luck and All the best.

It's a residential camp and I'm working out the final details. The camp info would be published by next week. I am still deciding on the minimum rank for entry to this Camp. Your views pls? 1SG or 2SG.

My hands will be full from next week onwards to finalise the details of the NCC Challenge Quest, Supernumerary Training Camp and Affirmation Ceremony 2006 that would be held on 25 March.
