2011 2nd NCC Silent Precision Drill Squad Competition Finals

Greetings, the 2nd NCC Silent Precision Drill Squad Competition Finals was concluded yesterday. I would like to thank the Parents, Teachers, supporters and all the Cadet performers for making yesterday's event a huge success and a memorable one. I would like to thank all the volunteers that assisted me in conducting this annual event smoothly. I take pride in your passion to serve the Corps.

I must acknowledge that there were some dispute on the results. The 3 judges and myself have reviewed the video and we have come to a decision that the weapon slipped but did not drop and hence Yishun Town is the Champions for 2011.

With your fruitful feedback, next year i will have to include a deduction of points for slipped rifles too. This is my 2nd year in organising this event and with your constant and constructive feedback, i will improve the processes of the competition.

Once again, THANK YOU for the wonderful journey you have provided and my next big task is the NCC DAY PARADE where the President of Singapore will be gracing the parade and the NCC Anniversary Relay Run. Cheers.

For Cadets who have submitted their forms, kindly contact your CSO to reactivate the submission. For Cadets who have not, i hope you will step up and be counted to join this course as we have made a major adjustment to accommodate your studies.

If you have any enquiries, call your District Commander or CSO to find out how to apply and submit your course registration forms.

NCC 110 YEARS ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS

Greetings, NCC will be celebrating its 110th Anniversary this year. HQ NCC is planning an array of activities to celebrate this special year. One of the highlights is to conduct a relay run to rejoice but not to compete. I would like to seek your ideas, views or suggestions on how you would like this relay run to be conducted. Let me start off first. My idea is to start the relay run from a NCC school unit and passing the NCC flag to the next school until the flag passes all NCC school units and ends at HQ NCC with a carnival. Each school will have runners to carry the flag and pass it on to the next school. Just a thought. Any better ideas ?
