today's SAC passing out parade...kinda sad to see the committee go..
well..this patch of NCOs have been real interesting..there are only 5 members in the committee - no more, no less, just the 5 of them..i can still remember they used to be very childish and disobedient when they first came to join the cca. Initially, this patch consisted of about 15 cadets; n since after the training camp, all except these 5 quited st.john..that was my first time i ever had face such a problem ever since when i was a vice-president of SAC st.john n later their corp staff officer. But well, they stood firm and strong there. I had seen them grown up, though the time i were with them was comparatively little. Now they have learnt to take charge, have grown much more mature..of course, they are real interesting cos one of them love to give some unique education to my juniors..well, anyway i'll not elaborate more on this..hehee >_<
and well, they are the patch who got into third place in first aid competition last year, after a few years of staying out of top 3 positions. In fact, they are the ones who give me much more hope in believing SAC's potential. and it is them who give me the real basic objective of first aid. and it is only until then i realise that i should make sure that all my cadets are well-trained in first aid so that they can offer their service to the public, and not just solely being trained to fight for the positions..
Now, they are going to leave soon and i am going to face a new patch of committee with a different characteristics. A new challenge is coming towards me. Somehow or rather, i realise why i like being a corp staff officer. Every year, i am facing a different patch and i face the challenges in different angles. It really trains me up to learn to adapt flexibly to the ever-changing environment..
A new patch is leading and i have already tried to teach them whatever i know (though not all). This also means i am leaving the fate of SAC to them entirely. This means i am going back to fulfill my basic duty - a student.
