CIBTC Residential Course 2

this week was over. More challenging,more fun, more taxing week. it was residential course 2 for CIBTC D10. RC2 was more packed with POP trainings and less of drills clarifiaction and more on campcraft knowledge.

First 4D3N was residential in HTA. Same bunk. Bunk 31 at charlie coy. Drills was fun and but my heel injury seems not getting any better. But manage to overcome the pain in the process. Hope that it will heal before POP. Was in the selection for sword drills which i really enjoyed. Gracefulness and precision. Campcraft learn many things that i dun actually know. Was quick in learning them. Delta is a big family, although sometimes very quiet, but we know what we are heading to - Faster, sharper and better than the rest.

On the last day, it was at Ubin. Went around to do tent pitching and flag staff. First time erecting a flagstaff. Was happy about that. Did with only 2 other pple, gwen and weiquan. Although 3 man doing, we were the first to erect. Ubin is going to be my home for the last phase 4d3n, hope to have fun, and hope that my heels wun affect much of my movement.

Sat, when some were resting, the selection of sword bearers were in the process. After some practices, we were trained in our WOC. Results will be make known soon and hope to get some positions or becoming the PC. It will be such a glory and pride.
after that had lunch, meet some peeps at army market, as usual it was noisy as A-B were there. After that, went to tampines to watch Rupanzel with Delta mates. Interesting plot from disney. had supper and went home with gwen.

Till now, the course was fun and had enrich me alot. Soft and hard skills. Reinforce my leadership skills. Interesting to get to know more about others, and how others think of me. Receiving many feedbacks and hope to get more. Next time when i post should be POP, so i look forward for the next post.

CIBTC Residential Course 1

Finally have sometime to blog about RC1. Was back on friday, and since then was preparing lesson plans and polishing uniform.

RC1, a 5d2n stay in, was pretty exciting, fun, tiring, taxing. First day, reach there like too early, waited for awhile before going into HTA. Waited for CIIs to come, get to know my grouping. So I was in Delta, and ATC group 4. Was quite blur at the start.

Throughout the RC1, we have lectures on various topics and numerous discussions. Hard skills like drills were recapped campcrafts practice. Finally manage to hold a sword. Hope to hold it soon again in RC2. THen mnore covering of hard skills. the third day was packed with drills, so all were mainly exhausted and legs were sore and numb. I think i hurt my nerve then. Now still in pain. But endurable, so nvm. Also went for dry practice. Torres .38 revolver. Hope to get marksman, since no time limit. NRA target will still be my enermy.

Delta squad. An interesting squad. Not very strong in hard skills, especially drills, but can see quite an interesting environment to learn in. Hard skills need some polishing. I believe RC2 is when we perform as we work like one big family.

CIIs. Delta squad CIIs are Maam Theresa and Maam Xiaowen. Both can see that they are putting their effort. I appreciate them as well as the others CIIs. Losing their voice and stuffs. So we should really put in our 100% everytime.

Weekends, met up with one or two for atc proposal. Doing lesson plans. Preparing uniforms. Helping squadmates. Managing fb. Quite taxing, but hope to help the rest. Need some rest today, and recharge my adrenaline level, so RC2, a 4d3n will be much better.
