I decided to join NPCC when i was in Sec 1, actually it was not my idea at first as my parents forced me to join.After i joined NPCC, i gradually came to like it and enjoyed the activities we do in NPCC such as Drills, Campcraft, etc. At Sec 1, there wasn't much interesting activities to do in NPCC but except practicing drills and camps which i would consider this 'phase' very boring.I am so happy, i got my very first rank... Lance Corporal...!!
However, things take a different turn at Sec 2 in NPCC. At Sec 2, we get to do more exciting stuffs such as shooting, joining Adventure Camps(tougher than normal camps but more fun)which is only once a year for Sec2 and Sec3. There was also the Educational trips organised by our Officers, we went for AFormosa in Malacca.We also went for the courses during June holidays such as CD courses and SANA courses which was actually quite interesting and fun for us. I finally got my Corporal rank after much waiting... sigh... at least come late better than never... right?
Things started to get more and more challenging and at the same time more and more fun in Sec 3.At Sec3, we get to organise the first cohesion camp for that year but i have to admit, it is not as good as the one organised by our seniors... but at least we did our best and we manage to learn our lessons from that experience.We also get to go for the 2nd Adventure camp known as the Survival Camp in Sec3, which was very fun and interesting compared to the one we had at Sec2.There we get to do the FlyingFox , Jetty Jump( which i enjoyed alot and i even went for the 2nd and 3rd round...!), etc. Although though we had lot of fun inNPCC at Sec3, our responsibility grew larger as we became the Cadet Leaders in Sec3. We got our Sergeant rank at the start of Sec3 NPCC...yeah...!!! And finally some of us which included me got the Staff Sergeant rank in the late July of year 2008, dreams come true at last... NPCC had trained us all as young adults with great responsibility and discipline so we should do something in return for it.Even though the Sec 3s are going to step down next year, i believe we can do our best to serve NPCC in the remaining days of our stay in NPCC.
