specialist course phase 1 just over...finally!
i was the OC through-out the camp...initially i was suppose to be the OC, that was during the initial planning stage...but i requested to be a PC...being S1, S4, OCs and even OIC is no fun...these posts got lots of work to do...that doesn't mean PCs have no work...but atleast PCs are able to interact with the cadets...and i like that...so i manage to persuade them into giving me a PC post...but on the day itself Hadi(OIC) ask me to become Alpha acting/temporary OC due to me being Alpha Platoon 1 PC and also beacuse whoever was suppose to be the OC will be turning up late....i reluctantly took up the post...and before i knew it i was the OC for the rest of the course...thanks to that guy for not turning up...haizz
anyway i was an active OC =)..i was always with my company...i just love Alpha Coy the cadets were great and so was the PCs...i got James, Carine, Syahid, Kamarul, Peng Hui, Oliver, Fann Howe and Zheng Liang...and i got an attached S4 that was Sathish..haha..one thing sad abt Alpha coy is that we always cock-up thanks to their OC that is me...we were almost always late...but atleast we were always first to report strength...hahaha..anyway..to prove that Alpha was better than Bravo i make sure we clinch every award...haha..in the end an Alpha cadet manage to win Overall Best..YEAH!!!...
enuff talk abt Alpha coy and stuffs...one reason i attended this Spec Crse is because my very own Part C is participating...all of them or atleast majority have potential..and i actually have high hopes for them...all even agreed to take a bet with me to come back with a 2nd Sgt rank...i really thought they could actually do it but it was disappointing....out of 18 or 16 that was send only 1 manage to get a 2nd Sgt rank...and its someone i didnt expect...but nonetheless i'm happy because 3 of them got nominated for best cadets...but they didn't made all the way...i'm still proud of them though...as for the rest its time to get serious....
just wanna remind them...rank is not that important but the passion and attitudes that counts...rank just prove that you have the required knowledge and standard... but it was tested in such short period...maybe if given more time some of them could have perform better...and it is partially my fault for not preparing them enuff... but i myself did not know that the marking scheme was soo strict...
anyway congrats guys...
and congrats to all those who attended Spec Course phase 1 Diqkie madly laughed at
