camp pinnacle. just a little experience gained compared to what was inputted inside me after 5 days.


at first i thought it will be a "back-to-back" elite of the elites in ncc, all the csms and asms battling out to see who's better. i thought too much. even though "pinnacle" meant the top, the best. well, its when the best get together to be even better.


a little experience was e C130 cargo plane flight, e SAR21 life range, some boat tht the NDU uses that goes really fast and so much better than a roller coaster..up the RSS Endurance to visit everything matters in a ship.. there were whole lot of talks by e different forces of the defence force in sg. the displays of all the weapons & tht short visit to e parliament house.


it was kinda enriching if u ask me. doin everything sea,land,air. things i would nv hav thought of even lookin at.. then we, central cadets, hafta book-out everyday coz thr's lack of space for everyone in hq.. so it began, and soon i found out i dun hafta diam all the way, i found out i dun hafta shout.. even my clts slacked around.. & e waiting time was "intriguing".. it became boring..


but no, like all camps, its e people who make the camp, they said..like i said, the programmes were jus little experience.. and this camp really prove to me tht point.. we were told we are elites in ncc, but we are actually normal ppl, like everyone else, discovering bout one self and one other's potentials, given the chance to make miracles happen.. and it's my platoonmates tht really make this camp..every waiting time was backed up with songs, stupid, lame, but all the more impactful.. these are the ppl who make things happen, who make do with what they hav and it was quite inspiring to think it this way.. not long after, i made friends.. lots of them, and everyone had quite a fun 5 days.. even though we are csms of our own respective units, i saw them a mirror of myself.. ppl who still got tht.. lets say "emotions", coz "csm" was always a very serious word..


through camp pin, i got to know lots of their capabilities too, i know now where sji stands.. it doesnt really mean top units, units with long history and lots of awards tht makes the difference.. doesnt mean tht prefect drills and physical conditions tht rule e others.. its the people. its their actions, small or big indifferent, tht really matters for the company.. its time i pass my passion to my juniors now, and to all the fellow csms, good luck to u all too.. we can do it together..

the badge, is nothing but a reminder, reminder tht i hav a part to play.. in life.
