Well now abt the second camp... Camp Etoile... stars in french. yup. its actually
a sec one freshman camp... but i was pretty amazed by my punggol cadets.. when
they were late, they asked for permission to fall in... man, i feel gd abt being a VI.
despite some pple say tt i didnt train my new sec 3s hard enuff. to rub salt to wound,
they said, their sec 1s are better than my sec 3. i not the kind to bear grudges but
i believe they had to take back some words after they seen my 2 sec 3s performed
in ULP. juz imagine u send 2 sec 1s to ULP... having such performances, i'm very proud
of them... so wat they lack basic knowledge of FD, evac, FA and stuff. they are keen
in learning, shows leadership, a gd team player and most importantly, they speak up
and they haf initiative. tts wat i hate... comparing schs... for wat? to show how gd
u are as a VI?

anyway, lets bring down my blood pressure and tok abt the camp. the sec 1s really
amazed me... their level of urgency was thumbs up. and they are enthu... and i feel
that they are going to be great unit leaders next time... i wasnt tt gd when i was
sec 1... and some of them, their evac skills.. wow...

i muz also comment on the instructors... we juz break camp for ULP, went home
packed our stuff and had a gd night sleep, then next morning another camp. But we
had very gd cadet helpers who actually volunteered... seriously w/o them, the camp
wouldnt be so smooth. the instructors also broke their utmost limits. Most imptly,
i feel that the sec 1s had grown up. in terms of maturity and leadership. happy to
say we met our objectives. i believe our effort will pay off in a few years time
when they take over the units. :)
