The bus came and picked all 39 of us up to the Home Team Academy, where the competition would be held. We waited for our time slot to arrive, and the competitors left for the holding area where all the participants met each other with adrenaline pumping in their blood. Anxiety, stress and racing pulses followed up, and soon it was time for them to enter the competition grounds.
Home Team Academy's soil, Home Team Academy's soft ground. AHS NPCC campcraft team marched into the field, everyone prepared for the upcoming campcraft competition. We have practiced hard and diligently for the past few months for this bi-annual campcraft competition, under the supervision of Peiyi Ma'am and Mervyn Sir.
The team consisted of 7 Secondary 4 cadets, namely SI Wanling, SSGT Yanling, SSGT Jiamin, SSGT Valerie, SSGT Ngik Hiong, SSGT Sheena and SSGT Ashley, 2 Secondary 3 cadets, CPL Yohana and CPL Weiting, and 2 Secondary 2 cadets, LCP Jacinth and LCP Jolene.
As the signal of the start of the campcraft competition rung, the team started to build their basha(make-shift shelter), gadget and flagstaff. Everyone was concentrating on their work, the cheering of their unit members encouraged them on to give them their very best, and at the same time, adding to their desire to emerge as champions.
However, as the signal that marked the end of the competition rung, we, unfortunately, had not raised up our school flag. This was inevitable due to some differences in logistics used in our practices and in the real competition. Everyone was disappointed, but nevertheless, we had done our best.
The competition has deepened our relationships amongst each other-we had strengthened the bonds between our unit members through the times we spent in our practices. Nevertheless, well done, AHSNPCC for remaining within the top 35% of the competitors.
