Camp Pinnacle 2007

Camp Pinnacle 2007

3rd - 7th December

Camp Pinnacle, a prestigious camp in NCC. It is indeed honoured to be selected to go for this camp. From what the Course Warrant say, we are attending this camp because we are the so called " Cream Of The Crop", also explaining why it is called Pinnacle. This camp is somehow meant to reward Part C cadets for their hardwork, but if you are going to this camp with the mentality of slacking, you have the wrong mindset and might as well pack up and go home. This camp has broaden our knowledge and it is an once in a lifetime experience.

The camp is at SISPEC, School of Infantry SPECialists and the facilities are great. It also has a great cookhouse to feed those hungry soldiers.

This camp brushes up our discipline as discipline is still required. It also brushes up our drills as we were required to march around the campus and perform drills. For your information, it has really been a while since we really did drills.

We had team building games at the Singapore Discovery Centre, followed by a bus tour around SAFTI MI. We also had a talk about SISPEC and a tour around it. To our dismay, the trip to Paya Lebar Airbase was a disappointing one as the C-130 joyride had been cancelled due to Cat 1 weather although some of us already had this joyride before. The fun was actually during our Camp Pinnacle Night, where the different platoons perform. People from International Cadet Exchange Program was there and they performed too. That was when everyone got "high". There were people from Brunei, India, United Kingdom, USA, Thailand and Australia. We visited the NDU and Changi Naval Base and we sat in the Naval speed boats at NDU. After the ride, we were soaked from top to bottom, but it was a very enjoyable experience. And this camp to us is fun, mostly because of the quick bond between us in our platoon.

Kilo 6 aka "Kelong Tigers" will be remembered.

With this, I sum up my post on Camp Pinnacle 2007.

Reflection on SBAB Attachment 2007

I hereby congratulate all the 5 senior specialists and 2 specialists on completing the attachment lasting from 12th to 14th November. In this attachment, we get to explore the inside of a CH-47 Chinook and learn to operate it in a flight simulator. We were also taught on the various individual squadrons on what do they do and what do they operate.

Hands-on activities are once in a lifetime experience but the highlight of this attachment is definitely the joyride on the Chinook itself. We get to experience the feeling of being lifted up in the air on a Chinook. The feeling is definitely great. We even took a group photo with the AH-64 Apache. (top)

Officers there are sociable and ready to clarify our doubts, they also shared their rich experience with us, persuading us to sign on. The two and a-half days we spent at both the SBAB and Chong Pang Camp were very meaningful and that concludes another chapter of our NCC life.
