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.

NCC CADET SPECIALISTS COURSE DATES

Greetings, kindly be informed that the NCC Cadet Specialists Course dates is posted on the Leaders Forum. This year the course will be exciting, an eye opener and exponential as the saying goes teach less, learn more. Those attending the 4 days course will be spending the first 2 days at Pasir Laba Camp, SISPEC and the next 2 days at Campus.

Those attending the 3 and 2 days course will be held at NCC Campus.

My aim of bringing you closer to the SAF's Warrant Officers and Specialists Corps is becoming a reality and you can observe, experience and feel the pulse of the this unique Corps when you attend the course. See you soon.

After visiting Kusu island for the first time, i wondered whether i am related to the founder of that island who is DOM JOSE DE SILVA. If only it was mine, i would name it Supernumerary Haven.

This is the cruise ship we took to Kusu island. The whole ship was ours to enjoy. It was a cool leisure ride that all the HQ NCC staff enjoyed.

Greetings, after the Affirmation Ceremony, i have been busy with other work followed by the 51st CLT Course Graduation Ceremony. Hope to post some of the pics in the next few days. That was followed by taking my Kayaking 1 star course that i was certified on 25 Apr 06. Been busy trying to co-ord the program for NCC Spec's Course and NDP admin.

On the 28 April celebrated HQ NCC 37th Aniiversary cum Family Day with a cruise to KUSU island. Played games on the ship, visited Kusu island, had lunch on the ship and finally celebrated the birthdays of those in the month of Feb, Mar and Apr. Had a good time.
