NCC (Land) December Training Camp 2009 Part 3
After 6 hours of sleep, I woke up with lesser cramps compared to the previous night. Glad that I slept even better this time, quickly immediately after I closed my eyes. I think this was due to the tiredness accumulated from last night and the DIY "pillow" made from clothes stuck inside my sleeping bag's cover.
Soon, I fall-in in my detail level in the Wushu area. Then I knew that there would be no PT on the last day. I was quite relieved though. But the boring thing cane: We had to clean up the place. Our detail was in-charge of the school canteen. I was in-charge of cleaning the tank that was used to dispense drinks for our meals. It was indeed troublesome to clean that up but somehow I managed to. After the clean-up, we waited for inspection. After the inspection, we were told that the benches that were not in use by us were unclean. Our sergeant Major told us that even though we did not use that area, we should also help to clean up since this is our school. So we took another 10 minutes to clean up that area and waited for another inspection.
After the clean-up was feedback time. Our sergeant Major asked us some feedback about the camp events.
- The first question he asked was how was the Inter-detail Games. I would think that it was quite fun and engaging, it also bonded us as a detail. But at the same time it was quite boring waiting for quite a long time and the fact that it was quite dangerous playing with legs tied.
- The 2nd question he asked was how was the War Game. I would think that the War Game was also quite exciting and engaging. It taught us the importance of being strategic in whatever we do. But I felt that more time should be given for the game.
- The third question was how was the Amazing Race. I would think that the distance covered was too long, from Paya Lebar to East Coast to Simei! Either the distance covered should be shorter or should be longer with the use of public transport.
- The forth question was how was the Cadets Night. I would think that it was quite fun and engaging with the auctioning session before the actual event. In between the skits, there were games to keep you engaged. I feel that the Cadets Night should be longer.
- The fifth question was how was the Night Walk. I would think that it was not scary after all. More props should be used to increase the scariness of the walk. More types of actions should be used instead of just popping out and yelling. The distance covered should also be longer. Overall, I think that the walk was not as good as last year's and the specialist had failed in some ways.
- The last question asked was how do you find the camp overall. I would say that it was quite well organised, especially compared to Camp STEEL organised by the NCC HQ. It was also quite engaging and exciting even though extremely tiring. I feel that the camp should be longer to keep us engaged during the school holidays.
After that was the prize presentation ceremony. There was the best cadet award in every detail. For my detail, another Part B cadet got the prize (a mug). No surprise-he was much more enthu than me, he was the one who came out with the food cheers. There was also the Best Part A cadet award (a plug) and the best overall cadet award (a plug). For me, I did not really mind not getting an award. The most important thing was that we learnt the importance of teamwork and many skills required for NCC.
After that we Bersurai and broke camp and HOME SWEET HOME!
