My NCC Badges & Rank (Update 2)
Yesterday, on 11/2/2010 (training changed to Thursday), I got my Corporal (CPL) rank. It was quite unexpected for me, since I thought we are not going to get our Corporal ranks, just like our seniors last year. They went to the Specialists' Course with their Lance Corporal rank (LCP).
The training yesterday was the longest in terms of drills session, from around 2.45 p.m. to 5.30 p.m, where normally it was from 2.45 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. After this we had our singing and talking session with our ASM till 6 p.m. Because of this, our PT was the shortest, only consisted of 10 push-ups and 1 round around the hostel in full no. 4, compared to having 25 push-ups, 50 crunches, 20 squats, 30 counts of 4 flutter kicks and 30 counts of 8 jumping jets. Due to the lack of time, there was no games.
During debriefing, our teacher-in-charge SUDDENLY told us that we were going to get our ranks! I am so surprised! I thought we were never going to get our ranks. One by one, we collected our ranks. This brightens up my mood, this is the right time to get our rank, just before the Chinese New Year, it is a good start. Too bad for my friend Aquashah, he did not turn up for training since he had a family reunion (not because of CNY since he is a Muslim).
Immediately I went home, I went to the army shop near my house to get my rank sewn.
Once again, I wish everyone, including my family and friends a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

My NCC badges and rank...(updated)
After a patient long wait of 6-7 months, on 10 July 2009, which was yesterday, we finally received our Lance Corporal rank, together with 2 other badges (Napfa badge (bronze) and Total Defence badge (bronze))!
While we were having our Speech Day Full Dress Rehearsal, our teacher-in-charge suddenly called us up to the amphitheatre. There, I saw our ranks and badges lying on the steps, I thought: Yes! We finally can get our rank and badges, no need to be looked down by other schools or our classmates from NPCC as a Private! Soon our teacher-in-charge told us sign on a paper to verify and then fall in. He then started distributing our ranks one by one. After everyone had gotten their ranks (too bad for those who did not turn up, they are still Privates), our teacher-in-charge then told us to collect our badges one by one. After gotten all our stuffs, our teacher told us to get our ranks sewed by Monday. Then we realised that we did not get our 1-star kayaking badge. They told us that it was out of stock. For me I went to the army shop near my house to get my rank sewed as sewing myself is freakingly difficult and might turn out ugly. That day was a good day for me as I was no longer a Private! But still I am looking forward to more achievements in NCC!

My NCC badges and rank...
Recently, I am very bored and had nothing to do, I have no choice but to spam my blog. All I want to tell you is I have gotten 5 NCC badges. They are the Water Ambassador badge, Energy Conservation badge, my napfa badge(bronze), the 1-star kayaking badge and finally, the Total Defence badge. I have already gotten the Water Ambassador badge and the Energy Conservation badge (shown in the picture). I have 3 badges that I have yet gotten, and one more important thing, my Lance Corporal rank, which I waited freakingly long, other schools had already gotten it four to five months earlier than us! I am getting terribly impatient and thinking of buying my own rank. Updates will be available in a later post, lets hope I would be able to receive my rank and badges soon...
sorry for poor quality of picture...
