Hello ppls

Yesterday we had our first advanced drill training since a long time ago, and I was somewhat disappointed at our behaviour yesterday. All of us should have sensed that we were noisier and less disciplined than usual. Moreover, the sec ones joined us yesterday, and I think we were not being a good example to our new juniors, so I urge everyone to have some control, especially when we are presenting ourselves to people that we have not met before or seldom meet. There was also the issue of the uniform, and I know many of us must be elated after being promoted, but it really does not give us the excuse to slack in uniform preparation. If you are a sergeant, prove that you deserve to be one. If you are a corporal, prove that you deserve to be one. And also during training, many of us have forgotten about form squad and change direction in static, and a lot of time was spent in revising those. So in future, I hope that if you are not certain about something that is the focus of the next training, do revise on it, does not really take up a lot of time, so no training time would be wasted and we could probably get more rest and fun if we perform well. And that would more or less sum up the training. -- Wei Zheng
