Post Drill Competition Updates

Hi All,

Yes, we will be posting comments from judges for the different contingents. The team is currently working very hard on this, collating the comments, deciphering(the handwriting part..) it and typing it out on the computers!

It will definitely come. GBHQ will keep you all posted! :)

Thanks for the kind words, the team appreciates it.

And now, back to more assignments.

Finally..

It's over! It has been surprises upon surprises.

One of the first few times that it rained over the 2 weekends for Drill Competition. (It has never poured ever since year 2000 for Drill Competition)

Thank God for the girls and officers who were helping us, without your woman power, we wouldn't have been able to run this event properly.

Thank you all for accomodating to the camp's requests like the phones and making the uncles go up and down the buses to exchange passes. It was crazy! But you were so accomodating.

Lastly, congratulations to the challenge shield winners!

And now, time to hit books proper and do assignments. And... things to clear up the mess in my room. ;)

Afterthoughts..

.. of the Pioneer Drill Competition..

Was quite disappointed to read how the girls were blaming the sound, the weather and everything else for their results at the competition except themselves.

I shall not comment on how each contingent fare but all I can say is that we should all thank God for our results. The results are a reflection of your performance on Saturday.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Pioneer's done!

WOW! A whirlwind of events happening today!

Lots of minor hiccups but I thank God for people who were quick to respond and solve the problems. Thank God for problem solvers!

The most "dramatic" thing that happened was the downpour. Oh well.. but God is still good, He held the rain till the 2nd last contingent.

I'm glad that today is finally over, a long day which started 0700hrs @ Nee Soon camp.

Thank God for Ms T, who gave us soyabean drinks for the judges as the breakfast haven't arrived.

Thank God for the judges who stood under the sun from 0900hrs till evening.

Thank God for Ms L and team who comes back every competition to help with scoring.

Thank God for Ms P who gave the wisest advice and led everyone immediately into the plan for wet weather program.

Thank God for our mentors and senior officers who were here for us. :)

The silent drill for the girls were impressive! Who says we need timing for everything? :) Well, the Pioneer challenge shield is already taken by 2nd Company (S). So let's see who'll take the remaining 2 shields.

God is good. :)

Tips for Drill Competition

Drill Competition is in FIVE DAYS TIME!!!

Some common sense tips..
1. Drinks lots of water, you don't want to faint in front of everyone. Not cool.
2. Eat before the competition to ensure you have enough carbo in your body. Don't overeat too, overeating will cause you to have bad pains in your tummy (for me, at least).
3. Sleep well the night before. Lack of sleep will not help you to perform at your best.
4. Clear all of your doubts with the drill manual! Not from your seniors! This is important!
5. Put sunblock! Protect your face, your arms! You don't want to have freckles when you grow old or ugly caplines. :P
6. Triple secure your caps. Totally. We had girls dropping caps on competition ground. Though you'll suddenly feel cooler than the rest of the contingent, but..
mishaps like tripping over the cap, hair blocking your view.. and for the more aesthetic part would be.. it'll be captured on camera!!
7. Pray. :)

Will put in more when I think of any. For now, back to work and I'll see all of you these coming Saturdays!
