On 31 July 2004, it was the last day where the 31st Batch of NCOs got to be with their cadets for a Saturday. After this day, they will part from the Unit for the individual pursuits and O lvls revision. Yupz, nevertheless they are all very welcomed to come back to the unit anytime they wished and they will not be disappointed at all, but rather glad to have their successors doing well.. Not only the NCOs leave, my once seniors, once mentors, once colleagues had also stepped down. Ta Hoong, saw me grow from a Sec 1 cadet to a Sec 4 NCO and then a CI. He was a very nice and also patient senior, willing to go down to correct your slightest mistake to enable to learn better. Glenn, my direct senior of one year age gap. He had a very systematic and organised thinking sequence. Very well versed and also efficient administrator too, he has thus passed on his Head Admin Baton to me too. Kah Wee, he was my SI last year. He was not at frontline compared to other NCOs but he too possessed a good managerial technique too. He was seen as a welfare person too.
Each of my seniors had their set of qualities which many NCOs and CIs will possess and will like to learn too. I myself have alot to learn too along my journey as a Learner, Mentor, Senior, subordinate, student.... After realising I am alone with Tai and Ben Tay, we all gotta strive hard and do our best in our specialised fields for the good development of our cadets, SJI and SJI NPCC too!
Had ATC meeting yesterday evening at KAP to revise the GnT and prepare some contingency plans. Was the only guy in the meeting (as usual) with Amanda, Karen and Ying Yuan. Hahax, realised my position was reduced with the gender inbalance. Signed up for the Macs EZ Link rewards system after being approached by the staff. Tiring Day overall only had dinner at 9.30.
Ran in the morning today, saw ODAC trg for their Real Run Competition. Ran abt 9 rounds and did quite a few push ups about 130. Need to train up my overall fitness as my Shuttle run dropped from 9.7 to 10.3, broad jump dropped from 225 to 222, Sit and reach dropped from 41 to 37, Sit ups remained 45, 2.4 improved from 11.02 to 10.51, Pull Ups only 1 so far. Still got a long way to go!!!
