I wonder if this unit’s NCO is a bit too overboard.
Is this nurturing the adventurous spirit within the cadet?PT is a extremely good excuse to let cadets do push up. and aint specs suppose to do together with cadets during pt?
why make cadets roll on the floor while the specs are strolling around having fun? this is the kind of specs NCC HQ nurtured during Spec/ Senior Spec Course?
Hentak Kaki? why do it in mud? it seems cold
the specs that NCC HQ had trained and educated.
why does the NCOs want the cadet to get into such a mess, how do they expect these cadets to go home after training? why is the spec squatting there? at the left of the picture?
now doing jumping jacks in the mud. how great? and spec walking around
why? why is it like that?
this is not illusion, the cadet's feet are sinking into the watery mud.
and of course C/2LT Anthony Chay Wei Ming was present during that day's training and was busy taking pictures and video.
is this how SIR ANTHONY WAS TAUGHT? during the CLT COURSE? oh dear.
do you guys think that this actions above tallies with the Constitution of the NCO council of Catholic High School. and what makes them deserve the Gold Unit award?
i wonder what's with this session of "mud pt" and the rationale of this
