Dear Boys

It has been awhile since i last 'blogged'. Hope all your had a good rest. Here are some updates:

This wed is the 1st archery session. Please turn up ON TIME. The instructor is Mr Raymond Tan, OUR 1st CAPTAIN! Do seize this chance to talk to him, know him more. Yup:)

Sec1s: I have asked your platoon IC to pass around the particulars' list on wednesday again because the last one is incomplete (certain info is lacking).

Sec 2s: I hope that your remember that your have a LDC project: showcase the BB to church members during enrolment ceremony this year. Do start buzzing among each other. I will be talking to ur this friday. ;) (your do not need to submit a proper AOP and AI this friday) Yup so dun freak out yet...

Kayaking 1 star and 2 star: This sat we are going to kallang for our expedition. Those who have expressed their interests BUT not in the course, i am sorry but have to reject ur suggestion as there may not be enough kayaks. I will announce the details this friday.

For those who did not sign up the 1 star course, IF we are going to have a kayaking expedition, your WILL NOT have your own kayak. Thus, your may not have as much fun as those who will be having their own single kayaks. I will try to arrange for spray deck for the 2 Star;)

Sec3s: I hope that you have been preparing for the RTC. Do take this chance to ask ur officers and instructors what is the standard that has been set for your (read: our expectations). This exposure to leadership during RTC will prepare your for future leaderhip role(s) in BB this year.

Good news, i am considering letting your (sec 3s) hold on to leadership position early if your (sec 3s) can perform in RTC. Yes, i mean it. If your can work well as a team, communicate well, lead well and plan well, i do not see why i should hold your back from your leadership opportunities. This year's NCO council will have some changes. There will be more 'freeplay' for the NCO council. More avenues to address your issues and more chances to initiate some projects. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO PERFORM AND CONVINCE US (officers and instructors)!

Potential Founders' Men: I will be bringing the awards file this friday. Do your necessary photocopying and let me sign forms tt your need me to sign.

Those who are keen to go for NDP: As what Mr Chung has mentioned, this year's NDP is going to be exciting. Those who have tickets can consider giving me 1 so tt i can go n see your on the actual day (yes, i want to be there to see your, not some other girls)

Do read the announcements on the noticeboard as well. By the way, this friday there will be 2-3 slots of captain's address. I will be spending time talking to your either at platoon level or in small gp level. There will be some activities and i will give your some time to talk as well. Feel free to address your concerns so that we know how we can mentor/advice your.

And yes, your are missed! And yes, i am glad that my posted has taken up some substantial amount of space;)

National Day Parade 2009

Hi Boys

Current I only have 7 names with me who are interested on going for this year's NDP, still got 3 more vacancy so do consider about it as this year Parade and Ceremony will be totally different from past few years.

Some major difference between this year and previous years P&C: (let you all excited a bit)

1. This year will be a "night" parade, timing will start from around 7.18pm till 8pm.

2. ALL contingents will march pass President.

3. Road march will be longer than previous 2 years, heard that will march pass CityHall.

4. Uniform Group who are better in drills will lead the whole Row B (I presume leading all UGs and Army Contingent into the parade ground *excluding GOH*)

5. Parade will be much nearer to the audience, the large LDC screen will be in the middle of the parade ground. So you all imaging how near and close it will be.

6. Presidential Gun Salute will be floating and fired beside the floating platform.

For point number 4, We (BB Military Contingent Trainers + BB Officers) will and make sure that Boys' Brigade will take this prestigious role. So there will definately have internal training and selection, RSM for this year's parade will personally come down to our training venue to observe and decide which UG will take the lead.

The first Mass Brief has passed, I believe HQ will soon sending email to all captains and officers to register Boys for NDP.

So do consider about it again, dont miss this once in a life time opporunity.
