i just went and saw jun quan's blog.
one hell of a ncc blog lol
anw i saw a particular post
and i am forcefully reminded of how DIFFERENT ncc is now and b4.
they slipped into silver in 2003.
pulled bac in 2004
slipped in silver agn in 2006.
THIS CANNOT HAPPEN
our standards cannot drop.
our PT cannot slacken.
our discipline cannot go down.
PT used to be 200 pumpings, 200 jumping jacks, 15 chinups, 2.4 km blahx.
NOW?! we specs succumb to the complaints of juniors
our PT is incredibly slack.
the juniors r not evn tired out!
r we too close to them?
time to distance. time to be cold and hard. no more succumbing.
time to buck up our training.
nowadays
i see our specialists joking wif the juniors in DRILL
see them playing pranks and fooling around
wat happened to the thrashing and whacking and shouting?
wat happened to the fierceness and the fear tat r associated wif specialists?
wat happened to OUR discipline, nt say the discipline of OUR cadets?
wat happened to the days when cadets trained till the could squeeze their shirts and sweat would flow?
wat happened to the days where we trained till out muscles could no longer function properly?
wat happened to continuous whacking and unreasonable punishments?
no more pumping in hot sun
no more seasoning our palms till they r rough
no more pain and sweat and shouting till our voices break
no more of the feeling tat after an ncc activity one has jus been through A LOT
most importantly
wat happened to our unity?
i rmb the days whn our activities were fast paced
whr specialists wasted no time arguing
whr after horrendous PT we changed
whr after changing we were whacked
we nvr knew if we were early
as we were alwaes whacked
now?
Juniors get away wif being whacked after changing.
no
cannot
not allowed
i rmb whn changing parades whr frequent
whn we wld plow through ppl to get to the toilets
stripping on the way
jus to race time
to get back changed in time
whr did tat go?
I rmb whn we were made to shout so much during activities
whn drills were never ending
whn we could DIE of drilling
as PT had alr drained us
whn we were whacked 20 for eyeball rolling
whn we were whacked 50 for dragging
whn we went down and recovered so many times our vision blurrs
whn after each drill session sumone wld report sick or black out
whn each water break was heaven to us
BUT IN THE END WE WLD FEEL HAPPY AND ACCOMPLISED
as though we had done alot and were proud of that
relieved. as well
tats most impt
i dun see tis in our activities anymore
where r our pumping parades
where we were greatly motivated?
no more
no more...
frm jun quan's blog
their specialist gave them an activity pumping quota of 1000
knn. wads out quota today? 50!!??
their seniors had bulging muscles and sexy legs
none of them were FAT
now i wonder why we shoot so badly
i tink i haf the answer
our PHYSICAL SUX.
period.
look at us specs
no one wif a body to b proud of
dun talk abt jnrs yet
bt this does nt come wif hiong activities
it comes wif personal training
if i ask now hu still trains
i dare sae many will ans no
wad's happening to our attitude? our passion?
if we specialists do not buck up
how do we buck up our jnrs?
wat i'd like to complain abt
is tat we specs argue too much
why dunt u guys b abit more on
and try to agree more wif the person hu gives the command first
and nt tink too much and gif so many problems
makes our activities so slow paced
makes specialists lose face in front of jnrs
why dun u guys hav faith
and jus believe the in charge noes wad he is doing?
why do sum ppl alwaes hav to tink tat they r alwaes rite?
and they remain dam OBSTINATE?
wat i cant stand is specs mocking each other in front of jnrs
if clts saw tis
we'd b whacked till our skin shrivels and our eyeballs fall out
i wish for our passion to b revived
for ncc to come bac to life
for it to be more than a cca
for it to be the lives of sum
for those who hav lost hope alr to hav faith agn
for our standard to b outstanding once agn
for us to b the best (although we alr r)
for our discipline to b legendary
for our jnrs hu succeed us to share in our ideals
for us to get our GOLD agn
i hate being in silver
i'd kill myself if we sink to bronze
wads our problem now?
complaints frm parents
insufficient time
MR ONG =X
no activites during holidaes
yes we hav problems
bt we hav cunning
we hav intellect
we can and will overcome
as ncc
to the ncc warriors seeing tis
frm ur acsm
dunt let rvncc fall.
