It's been soooo long

Wow! I just realised it's been 2 months since the last post!
*faint*

I guess we havent had many drill events in the past few months and wont be having anymore until drill camp in Nov. It's really rest time for us :D

But keep the questions coming in and we'll answer them k? :)

As for the last two questions, I'll just post them up so that everyone will know

Question: When receiving awards, do we shake hands first or receive awards first?

Answer:
Normal protocol is to shake hands first, then receive awards. this is also common when not in uniform, at school functions or business functions.

So... we shake hands, then receive awards.

Question: With regards to ...langkah ka-sebelah kanan, do we always start moving with our right leg? And for odd numbers, do we bang with the left leg? We bang with the right if it is for even numbers? And it is the exact opposite for langkah ke-sebelah kiri?

Answer: This was answered during officers retreat (we're pretty efficient thanks to mengru ;) ), but the official reply...

Firstly, some of you may be shaking your heads wondering what is langkah ka-sebelah kanan??? Frankly, we scratched our heads too for awhile.

But the command is (no. of paces) langkah ka-sebelah kanan/kiri Gerak! It's a command for taking steps to the left or the right and well, to answer the question,. if we are taking steps to the left, we start moving our left foot first and always bang with our right. If we're moving to the right, we always start with our right foot and bang with our left.

Alritey, that's all for now! Keep the questions coming in!! Thanks! :)
