FYI, Ma'am Chang will keep track of cadets' number of CIP hours while Capt Lim will keep track of cadets' number of CEB hours and list of participation in 2010. Some of you mentioned that you did not receive the National Crime Prevention Badge last year. Capt Lim informed Capt Tan. NCDCC HQ will send 5 Crime Prevention badges and 1 CPR badge to us soon. Capt Lim is aware that one cadet lost all her badges in the bus and one cadet has lost her beret.

Congratulations to SSG Claire Seow who has been promoted to WO w.e.f. Feb 2010!
According to Major Howard, the other 6 SNCOs will be promoted to SSG in July 2010. This is because we have to follow the directives and other schools do not have cadets who are promoted to SGT in Sec 2. Thus we cannot have Sec 3 cadets promoted to SSG half a year ahead of other schools. This is to prevent comparison among units and showing off.

Please note that SANA, CD Knowledge, Footdrill (Gold) and Community Engagement Badges are compulsory badges for promotion to WO. Only two Sec 4 SSG will be nominated to be Warrant Officers in 2011.
