On 15 December 2006, LTA Abubakar bin Abduillah Alkatib completed a 12-month Commissioning Course for British and international students, the equivalent of an Officer Cadet Course in Singapore. He has done our nation proud by winning the Overseas Sword-of-Honour, given to the foreign student with the best overall performance. This is the first time the award has been won consecutively by a Singaporean student, the previous winner being then-2LT Iskandar bin Abdullah. In addition, LTA Abubakar was named Best Overseas Cadet in Defence and Internal Affairs, while fellow Singaporean LTA Emerson Ang came out Best in War Studies.In the course of training, participants had to complete gruelling tasks like the Army Combat Fitness Test, an uphill run while carrying a heavy load. They were also exposed to complex scenarios from war experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. LTA Abubakar proved that he was up to the challenge. He said, “Wanting to do Singapore proud was a driving motivation during the course. The fact that I was representing my country inspired me to go the extra mile.”A military man since his NCC days, LTA Abubakar expressed his comfort with a regimental lifestyle and his hope for an instructional tour in Officer Cadet School. He said, "As an officer, I am able to help determine the path which my men will take for the rest of their lives. I like the idea of leading people to become leaders, and Officer Cadet School would be the best place for that."

To all CLTs and Cadets, here is living proof that nothing is impossible. The sky is the limit but your dreams has no horizons. Believe in yourself and serve with pride and dedication.

YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
*********************


WIL (Work Integrated Learning)

What is it about?

The Reformative Trainees (RT) Project was first launched during the Jan-Jun 2002 semester as a pilot programme under the WIL Module. The objective of the project was to give our WIL students an opportunity to use their IT knowledge and skills to serve the community, and at the same time, develop the hidden potential and leadership skills in each of them.

The programme included six training sessions at the Prisons Aftercare Supervision Section (PASS) where the student trainers were lecturers and tutors to a group of selected RT boys.

The RT boys are low-risk offenders under the supervision of the PASS, and this programme are also aimed at helping the boys adjust back to society. The student trainers play an important role as “role-models” to these boys.

This year is the 6th year we are having this project where 9 students trained 15 trainees.

What we will be having?

We will be having a Yellow Ribbon Graduation Ceremony for the RT boys to mark the end of the lessons given to them and also, to award them with certificates to show that they have graduated from this course.

When is it? 5th August 2006
Where is it? Ngee Ann Polytechnic Convention Centre
What time? 10am – 12.30pm
What to wear? Smart Casual

You are welcome to visit our website at http://baweb1.np.edu.sg/wil-keys
Please register yourselves at the website to indicate that you are coming.


Who are invited to the Graduation Ceremony?

Basically, we invited everyone whom we know to the Ceremony to allow them to see what we have been doing and how they can help to reintegrate the RT boys back into the society. But since National Cadet Corps (NCC) is a supporter of the Yellow Ribbon Project, NCC is a priority in our guest list. We hope that NCC can support this event by just going for our Graduation Ceremony. We targeted to have at least 100 people from the Corps (20 x CLTs/Cadets per district) to attend the Ceremony. Lastly, we really do hope we have your support and hope that you can make it for our Ceremony. Thank you.

Greetings, Central Phase 1 and East Phase 1 Specialist Course just ended. The number of Cadets attended the course were 248 and 237 out of 300 respectively. So much slots wasted. Supernumeraries, if you are free why not hop on to the 2 days program at SISPEC. This program would definitely give you a slice of what Army life is all about. For the ladies, it would give you an idea what your brothers or boyfriends would go through when they are posted to SISPEC. Hope to see more participation. Cheers.

Today marks the graduation of Central Phase 1 Cadet Specialists Course. The cadets had a great time during the 2 days spent at SISPEC. The pic above was taken at SISPEC Kilo and Lima Company Line where they stayed on the first 2 days of the course. A total of 248 cadets graduated today. My heartiest congratulations to all the Cadets that made it thru the course. You have just taken your first step on being a leader. Cheers.

Greetings, the photo you see above are our international friends from the Air and Sea. This photo was taken yesterday followed by a formal introduction. They would be here until mid June soaking the sights and tours of our beautiful country. Lets give them a warm welcome. Hurrah.

Greetings, need some help this Wednesday for NDP training. Meet at campus on 31 May 06, 1100 hr. Lunch provided and transportation will be provided to Khatib Camp. Training time is from 13oo to 1800 hr. Attire no.4 uniform with head dress. If you are able to assist kindly drop me a mail or sms me. My sincere thanks and hope you will answer my distress call. Have a great weekend. Cheers.

Greetings, this is a really busy week for me as i am co-ordinating and preparing for the Cadet Specialists Course that would be commencing next Monday. Finally, Cadets will have this chance to see, feel and absorb the atmosphere of where junior leaders are moulded to become great leaders of the future. If you are not cut to be an Officer in the SAF, let me assure you there is still a rewarding career being a Specialists and subsequently a Warrant Officer if you make the cut. Supernumeraries, if you have the chance, hop on and tag along for the experience but you have to inform your District TCO or Specialists. Best regards and Happy Holidays.

SM NCC

Next big event will be the National Camp from 10 to 13 Aug.
