Review for 5th POP

Todae was the 5th passing out parade for the barracudas. The day actually started at 1400hrs where the part Cs were told to gather. They were there early because they wanted to apply for supernumerary. i was told that LTA Goh wanted oni the top 3 from the interview to go attend. the top 3 were CPL Marcus, CPL Joel, 2SG Ming Hui. However they felt that 2SG Jeremy was also not bad. Only reservations was that he would be too playful in HQ. The interview was conducted by the senior specs and evan kong. I was there to oversee and advise. At 1530hrs where all the part As and Bs arrived, uniform check was conducted and they went down to the parade square for rehearsals. The rehearsal was abit bullshit because the part D was playing..nevertheless this is expected. This was their day so i did not want to spoil it. But still the rehearsals went smoothly. At 1700hrs, the whole company went to the ava theatre for the special programme..which was a video playback on the part Ds journey throughout the 4 years. Followed by a speech by LTA Goh and it was then that we found out that LTC Hee was also leaving teaching and the corps. So he also gave a speech. At 1730hrs, they left the ava theatre and we clts came to attention and saluted him to thank him for his effort, guidiance and leadership for the past 8 years. They went down for the final rehearsal on the POP and den came the actual parade. The officer for this parade was supposed to be our CO as usual, but this year it was LTC Hee. Cool huh. We presented the clts token of appreciation to the 3 outstanding cadets along with their polo-Ts thru LTC Hee. After the 'bersu-rai' they threw their berets and water bombs and had the usual fun and nonsense stuff just like the past 4 years since our pioneer batch seniors passed out. But it was shortlived this year as everything came to an end after..5 mins? LTA Goh did not allow it to carry on. Me and jason was there to supervise the clean up and then we went back to the ncc room. Ronald was already there and he seemed pissed over something. I shall not go further into details. But i wan to remind all clts that..no matter how pissed or angry we are over something or anything..we should never ever throw our temper in front of the cadets, or vent our anger on them. You may think that they will understand ur feelings or wadever..even if they really do, it does not reflect well about the clts. It makes us look bad. Whatever the case, it is over..i think the clt involved should reflect seriously on what happened after POP and how he could have handled it. Nevertheless we other clts should also take note of such behaviour and refrain from it. So lets put it this way..in future whatever actions we do, please consider our image as clts and also remember the word 'PROFESSIONALISM' as what Jian Cheng said. All that has been said and done is past. What we should do now is to reflect. Let this be the end of today's incident and no one shall ever bring it up again. Thats all for now.

psps: ronald, the orienteering review.. sea com review also. u or daryl, one of ur mus do it. thanks.

Also all the best to u guys for ur promos and a levels whichever it is. And the 3 recipients of the token of appreciation messaged me to thanks us and they said that they really loved the gift..haha. Although it was ex..shall we make it again for the next batch?? something to consider...
