Training on 2nd February.

the strength: Part A 8/23
Part B 16/31
Part C 23/31
Part D 27/31

Training on that day is as per normal. Due to communications problem, the part a's were not informed of the training on that day which is why there is a little number of people on that day. Another thing is that there is misunderstanding between them that 'they are not allowed to play in front of cadets' this rule. Once and for all Jason told them that if it is part of training, then it is no problem if they play a bit as in that of games such as soccer. Another thing is that i noticed that their timing in falling in is very terrible, as in when they are getting ready for colours that time between 1415 to 1500. i feel that their reason that the cadets are late and also that it is because of teachers holding them back and they also need to eat lunch. I feel that their reason that cadets are late is very bad as from what i see, cadets being late is one thing, but the cadets who have falled in earlier and are ready could not find the specialist anywhere. In fact on that day itself i came across cadets who ask me where is colours being held. I believe that the specialist were later then the cadets as they feel that there is no point wasting time there waiting for the others to come. which is where a chain reaction will be set off. The chain reaction of since cadets are late so we can slack more and go later, and the cadets mindset will be that since my sergeant not here yet i come so early very mah lu, might as well come later when everyone has falled in. Such things will drag and such practice should not be condoned. I have spoken to them and tell them to inform cadets to have a heavy recess and report to training on time, and if need to then buy something light and keep it for lesson end to eat. The part B and C's drill are still not up to scratch and i hope that they can work harder to catch up on what they have missed. that's all.
