Good Bye

A sad event , deserves a proper post . . .

 

Good Bye sec4s . . . 

 

Record number of people crying for a farewell night.

 

Ha , ya , I don’t know why so many people cried though… Not that I’m being heartless or anything but , Fir and I didn’t cry lol and we’re alot closer to the sec4s than most other people.

 

Lets go on a trip back down memory lane - 

Thanks lots Sec4s like I told you all , for letting me step out and lead you guys.

 

I remember when Yee Meng asked my squad when we were just starting out , who wanted to take the sec2s. I eagerly raised up my hand. I thought it would be easier than taking a new batch of cadets. I thought , I think Alvin Ng and Dzafir thought the same as well.

We were quite wrong in the end, we inherited, a broken down, conflict stricken, communications breakdown, power struggle, quarrelsome and pretty much the most difficult batch I’v seen at that time, from your sec1 NCOs. We understood that it wasn’t really all your fault , took us quite a while to trace the problem back to your lack of true NPCC culture/exposure/enjoyment you all had in sec1. When we were having fun enjoying our sec2 lives with YM , you all were like going through an NCO camp at your first year. Ha.

SOOO moving on , troublelot-> troublemany-> troublesome-> troublefew-> trouble-less.

 

That was practically the stages you all went through, I don’t think anyone else besides Ng , Fir and I[Fir was damn sad when he had to leave you all last year] would hvae truely understood what you all really went through. The behind the scenes counselling , talking session moving on to help you all more on a friend and mentor level.

 

 

Truely , I feel at the end of the day. You all have made a huge impact in my life. Through you all , I personally have learnt to manage conflicts , to carry myself to be an example for you. The times we went through together , will be something I’ll never forget.

 

 

3 years of taking you all , seeing you all grow from problem cases , to problem solvers. Sets my mind and heart to ease , that when you all go out there. You go out there with more life knowledge , you go out there with an edge , you go out there with a strong history of triumph[victory] , you go out there , knowing that if you ever need help , there’s someone still back here. There are still people back here to push you when you are tired , to carry you when your injuried , to Suan you everyday , everytime they see you until you get so fed up and want to prove them wrong [=)] . 

 

A real good bye my cadets, the 6th NCO Batch. Even though we guided you, it was you all who made yourselves from carbon to diamond. Continue on that path.

 

Your Squad NCO for 2 years and CI for 1 – Joel
