To all newly promoted 55th Cadet Officers, congratulations and welcome to the West family! You've survived the gruelling 3-week Cadet Officer course, and now you've come a level up, a level different from your cadet days (and therefore, you're expected to behave differently from how you behaved back then). Due to time contrain and other factors, we didn't have the time to introduce to you how things run in West, and so now Ears up! we shall do it now (high tech leh!)
Maybe it might be useful for you to know how things work around here:
Before you appear at HQ for any event (in general) to help out or be an instructor in, it is compulsory that you sign up (approximately 2 weeks) beforehand - inform your Intake OIC that you are available on that day(s), and would like to be shortlisted to attend the event/camp - walk-in registration will not be entertained.
Just so you know, there are no more spaces for April trainings (and there's no camp in April) so the next activity would begin from May onwards - depending whether there are activities or not. However, since the Intake OIC has yet to be appointed yet, you may register with Clement (cegyx@hotmail.com) for trainings/camps for the time being.
Activities classified under Trainings: Trainfire, IMT and Range.
Activities classified under Events: Affirmation Ceremony, NCC Day Parade, NCC Day Dinner, SYFOC, etc.
Activities classified under Camps: Camp Feast, Spec Course, Senior Spec Course, Cadet Officer Course.
I'm just listing down the different categories there are for you, but it doesn't mean that you are eligible to apply for all course - the Cadet Officer Course, for example. Having just graduated from Cadet Officer course yourselves, and almost completely ignorant about how HQ works, it isn't an ideal thing for you to taking up posts in such a major course like the abovementioned.
Of course, the smaller ones like Camp Feast and probably Spec Course are the ones you may want to look at first - everybody starts somewhere - and starting small, you'll better learn the trick of your trait. Of course, be reasonable; don't start applying for OIC post, when you just come out from your course - gain some (uh, quite alot of) experience before you intend to go higher.
As you'd have probably been told, each day activity brings you 5 points, while camps vary from one to another, depending on the duration - the number of nights + 1 day - so it's (no. of nights x 10) + 5 = (total number of points). Your course instructors would probably have taught you guys how to go about collecting points during the course itself.
For the new batches, if I'm not wrong, you'd have to clear your probabtion period - attend 1 Trainfire, 1 IMT and 1 Range within the period of 6 months. 6 months is quite a long time, so relax; don't need to rush.
