BN & AN tips

2008-12-10T23:00:00.000-08:00

Hey BGSJ juniors..

First of all, frm wad i heard from our own instructors (Vivien & Michelle), u guys hu r in BN n AN have successfully survived the 2-day (bn) or 3-day (an) course. CONGRATS K, PEOPLE! :)

I drop by here having a sincere intention to state some tips (the things that i cud rmb frm my xperience in nco course in '06 n '07) I noe most of u guys r tired afta tense training during the the course itself and now, this week u guys have to revise ur nco course booklet for your theory exam on Sun as well as practise your MOI (for the AN). However, hope u guys cud juz glance thru this post here bcause all this tips here might/might not help u guys :)

Tips for Exam:

THEORY

* Make sure u guys revise the booklet cz especially for AN, sometimes the ans is directly stated in ur booklet.
* Memorize some of the impt keywords if needed cz that can make u guys feel that u r confident that ur ans written is perfectly correct
* Understand the notes cz sometimes when u understand,u can memorize it easily or even need not to
* Clear your doubts b4 the exam day coz u r well- prepared for it. If possible, dont do it at the last min. cz u will definitely kanchiong.
(ask ur grp instructors/ grp mates/ course mates/ current ncos.. ANY1 u guys comfortable wif)
* Have some general knowledge bout things that r not directly in the booklet but definitely related to st john
(Eg. regarding ur st john full u - the position of ur cap badge.. may be qn : 'where is the right place ur cap badge shud be'.. there will be several options n the ans shud be 'directly above ur left eyebrow')-->This pt is especially for the BN.

MOI, FIRST AID PRESENTATION (AN)

* Understand what u r presenting
* Memorize some points if needed to avoid urself to read directly from the powerpoint itself
* Make the presentation interesting if possible cz tat makes u score better marks ( if u guys wanna noe more interesting presentation styles, ask michelle (: Really!! Must Ask!! )
* Have a good start and good end for ur presention cz first impression counts
* Work well wif ur partner n help out each other (try to cover up each other's mistakes if there is durin the presentation itself... shhh.. dont say i say this (: Bt i'll pray hard tat u guys dont make any mistakes k )
* Rehearse ur presentation twice or thrice if possible so that u guys are very prepared. At least u guys noe when its ur turn to takeover ur partner durin the presentation or which eva
* Be loud and clear throughout the presentation

MOI, FOOTDRILL (AN)

* Make sure ur overall presention is perfect as in ur full u, ur beret , ur boots, ur socks ( all that must be in tip top condition because ur overall look is part of ur marks)
-So, before u go for ur exam, adjust one another's uniform so that everyones is in perfect condition :)
* Make sure u noe how to report to the examiner when ur name is called to carry out the exam. Ask ur grp instructors the latest procedures if u r unsure cz there might be bits of changes.
* Make sure u noe what u r going to teach or that day. Must prepare in mind cz u might hesitate here and there if u do imprompto(sori idk how to spell)
* Practise the procedures practically mayb wif ur grp mates or coursemates so that u r fully prepared on the exam day.
* Be firm wen u give commands
* Emphasize the ending words cz its the start of the execution
* Be loud and clear when u give commands/instructions
* Look confident throughout the exam when u giv instructions/ teaching.. which eva

Tips for Camp:

1) Organize/ Pack ur belongings properly so that u can retrieve it quickly and easily (newly added)
- U may not be given such a long time to get ur items
2) If possible, prepare 2 nametags. (newly added)
-1 for full u, 1 for pt kit ---> easier for changing parade

GROUP IC

* ALWAYS take care of the flag. Dont Lose it. Pass to ur grp mates/ course mates if u needed to do anyting. Just dont Abandon it. Treat it s ur own belonging.
* Dont ever let ur flag touch the ground especially wen u guys in pumping position. Fold it quickly so tat it will lies on ur both hands nicely/ s long s it cud sustain
* Listen attentively to ur course ic because u will be leading ur grp mates at the same time. * Always take note of ur grp strength (people hu fall out n their reasons, absentees, people hu r present at that point of time). Because u have to report to ur course ic now n then.
* Be loud and clear as u give commands to ur grp mates when checking strength/ reporting strength

COURSE IC

* Be cool when ur name is called to be the course ic. Dont kanchiong!
* Dont be scared! Eventhough it'll be a bit (i mean a lot!) scary at the beginning, juz be confident!
- U definitely have my support, ur course mates support!! i can assure u!
* Greet every officers n instructors u see. Dont ever neglect evn 1 of them. Its a MUST!! (cz u r leading the whole course itself)
* Give clear instructions if possible so that ur course cud execute it smoothly.
* Note the time. Give suitable time for the things that u guys r supposed to do. Dont repeat my mistakes of giving such a short time for them having to do such a big ting:).
- Always rmb : ' In terms of leading, u hav to think logically and the speed of doing things. Theres a diff. bet. fast and able to do it and fast but not possible to do it.' - a piece of impt advise frm Zi Peng Sir that i always rmb :)
- Sometimes its difficult to immediately set a time for the course to do certain thing. Juz do what u think its right.
* Dont be discourage or disheartened if u get scolded by any instructors/ officers because u made mistakes. Eventhough u felt guilty afta the scolding, juz calm urself dwn and learn frm mistakes and try to avoid it the next time. U definitely have ur coursemates/ instructors that believe that u will nt giv up n continue to encourage u further :)
* Always take initiative. U may not wait for the D.I / D.O to giv u the instructions to check strength. If u think its the right time to check the course strength, juz continue to do so.
- For eg. fire drill session.

OTHERS

* Always help one another. Help ur grp ic n course ic if they needed help.
- For eg. in terms of carrying things, the grp ic have to carry the flag so help them to carry some of their belongings if needed.
- For eg. water bottles. Help one another align the bottles in straight lines.
- U guys r grp mates n course mates! Help one another!
* Always keep ur belongings in place where its supposed to be on the table in ur respective bunks b4 u proceed to any location/ b4 u sleep. Because bunk inspection can be carried out at any point of time.

All these tips stated here is frm my own experience when im in basic n advance course. This tips might be quite useful for some of u , i hope!!

Gd luck and All the best For ur exam! Juz Endure and Endure! U will benefit every bits of it afta this! SHINE PEOPLE! SHINE!

Loves , izzati :)
" Eventhough im nt there to giv u guys the support verbally, u guys still have my moral support .. i will always pray hard that every1 of my juniors ( bn and an ) will pass this course successfully :] "

(p.s: All this tips also implies to the others hu r in basic n advance course from other corps. Feel free to glance thru this. Its my pleasure! As the theme of the course this yr is 1 zone, 1 vision rite?)
