Inter-Unit Drill Competition 2011
Our cadets participated in the IUDC 2011, and here are their thoughts on this experience.
一
It was the first time our unit ever participated in drill competition. Every one of us were hoping to be the representative for our squad, but unfortunately, only 14 people can participate in this drill competition. 1 parade commander, 1 reserve and others doing drills.
Before the drill competition, we had to attend a series of drill training. Even though most of the training was tiring but I feel that we really benefited a lot from it. The competition has also deepened our relationship.
The drill competition was held on a bright and sunny 16th of July. The participants and the supporters gathered in school at around 8.55am outside the Npcc room. After this, the bus came at 9am sharp and brought us to the Home Team Academy, where the competition would be held. After we drop off from the bus, we marched all the way to the drill shed. The first thing we did after reaching was to get changed into and register. Then we proceeded to uniform inspection which was part of the drill competition. After that, we practiced the drills for the last time to correct any mistakes made. The ma'ams were cracking jokes to ease the tense atmosphere before we entered the Unity Square.
Finally, the time has come. The parade commander, CPL Matilda, gave us commands to march into the competition grounds. The parade commander asked for permission to start the drills from the Sirs. We had practiced diligently for the past few months for this drill competition, under the supervision of Rayseen Ma'am, Jacinth ma'am, and Wanling ma'am, so we had very high expectations of ourselves. As the signal was heard, we began doing the drills. Everyone was concentrating on doing the drills. We managed to have nice 'bangs' and coordinate well.
At last, the competition ended after 4 minutes. We marched out of the parade after granting permission from the Sirs. Even though some of us could not coordinate well, but nevertheless, we felt that we had put in our best efforts.
Through this drill competition, I think that all us had become closer to each other. This completion had strengthen the bonds between our unit as we had spend much time together during the trainings. It will definitely leave a good memory for all of us.
