Back to reality
passing the running shoes to the current batch of NCOs
to help them continue on with this wonderful journey
giving them all the support we can muster.
They look good, dont thay? :)
They look good, dont thay? :)
Also, we leave the secthrees and sectwos, leaving with them only our legacy and hopefully inspire them to become great leaders for the future juniors.
Looking back, our times in Red Cross was nothing less than memorable.
The things were did, unforgettable memories will always be with us
Sec1s, New Recruits 2007
- Us as new recruits, learnt how to stop drag---Everyone walked around the classroom following behind Sylvia Ma'am until we stopped dragging
- Being the first one to be used for a live demonstration for the pretty arm sling that we learnt from Munching Ma'am
- My "lovely" scalp bandage for FA promo test, which everyone just loved to laugh at!! --hey! i can do a scalp bandage now! no problem! :)
- Doing evac with Indora Ma'am as the spice garden!
- Firedrills in June Camp--woken up by the seniors half an hour early to wash up and sitting in the gym, just waiting for the firedrill whistle to sound; the many firedrills a day
- THAT firedrill, that the secthrees got locked up, and we ended up with less then 5 people in the live squad.
- &THAT firedrill, after shower time, the base was the lobby, and it was a marine accident; jellyfishes stings, Chloe hyperventilating, and the secthrees seemingly going missing ; freaking the entire unit out
- Doing hundreds of pumpings and leg raisers in the bus bay, just after we showered.
- Going down to men's pumping with every single change of venue; and even 40 over minutes in men's just waiting for the other group to arrive back into school. Yes, >40min, according to JY; while the NCOs stood there and screamed at the other group for not running to join us.
- Formal Camp Reports.1000words and structure standardised
- Practicing footdrill every recess for fun and laughing at it all the time.
- Circle bonding in the amphi
- Lunch in 5min during June camp.
- Our styrofoam cup buddies!
- Dione being extremely environmentally friendly during debrief and advised all of us to not use styrofoam too much because of CFC's
Sec2s the best year of Red Cross 2008
- Failing RCV silver and OA bronze many many times, until we got scolded so badly by the NCOs
- Doing stuff for the juniors, but not sure whether we were doing it the right way
