The Captain Speaks...

Dear Boys, Instructors and Officers

Indeed it has been very fast isn't it? In a month's time, we will be busy preparing for Christmas, celebrating Christmas and followed by a New 2012!

Let me recap what 45th has done this year:

• CCA Orientation in Jan
• BB Day/ Senior Proficiency Award Presentation
• Swimming
• RTC/LDC
• BB Week
• 1 Star Kayaking
• Enrolment Service/ Presentation of Colour
• CTC
• Transformer movie
• Athletics
• BB CARES
• Stage 3 Assessment
• (Upcoming) BB Share-A-Gift
• (Upcoming) BB Chalet and BBQ
• numerous parades

This is not inclusive of 2 annual competitions (BB Blaze and BB Character Quest) and school events such as Champions Day, X-Country and etc etc.

I would like to ask 2 simple questions.

Boys, this is what you have gone through. The first question I want to ask is: Did you know that in order for the activities to be carried out successfully, your seniors (e.g this year and last year NCO Council), instructors and teachers had to ensure that everything was running smoothly? 

Here's a kudos to the unsung heroes - the group of senior Boys, instructors and officers (including teacher officers) - for their dedication and hardwork for ensuring that whatever that was planned was carried out. I know everyone has their own commitment outside of 45th, but the fact is that we see each other week after week means that we had dedicated part of our time to come together as a Company.

My next question is, how can YOU contribute to the success of 45th? Or at least, how can you ensure that the Company is running and meeting its intended objectives?

Boys, your are not just merely participating in the activities blindly. Every activities and lessons (and even punishments) have its intended objective. Not clear what is the objective of the lesson? Ask your seniors and/or instructors and officers.

There are also several things that we have always emphasised - several things taught in BB cant be learnt in classroom. By this I mean that BB exist as a Co-Curricular Activity, which is to complement what the current teachers are doing in classroom. So, several skills such as servitude, leadership skills, communication skills and even lessons drawn from the Bible cannot be learnt outside. Some people had told me that they began to see how they had benefited from BB only after they had graduated. Don't be like them, start to see the values now!

So what do I expect from you Boys? I hope to see the following, 

-1. Maturity in your own character. - As you grow up, I hope to see you knowing what are the character traits (types) that are important, and learn to emulate (develop and show) it.

-2. Willing to participate in activities. - Almost all activities requires planning and hard work from your seniors, instructors or officers. Show your appreciation for them and 45th by participating in it. I also wish to state that officers and instructors are not perfect too, so we will definitely welcome feedback so as to improve the experience for the future batches. 

-3. Show your initiatives. -Take the opportunity to hone your leadership and social skills while you are young. This set of skills will become useful when you work next time.

So, some of your may ask, what can you expect from 45th? (This will be a secret and revealed during the Captain's Address next year)

Instructors and officers, allow me to express my gratitude (again) for your service this year. Alot of changes are occurring at HQ level (in terms of direction and programme) and are pushed down to the company level. Thus, there are several changes that had occurred or will be occurring next year. I appreciate the feedback given and will discuss with everyone during officers planning session in 1st December. Let's take a break and recharge for next year. Details for 1st and 2nd December will be sent via a separate email.
