Stuffies :D

Hey guys,

1) Hope you guys would check blog more frequently, as Reeve pointed out during training today. Apart from FB, it is one of the most important source fo disseminating info outside of training time.

2) Today was the deadline for submission of PN/June camp excuses, so those who haven't submitted are invalidly absent. YAY~~~

3) Gentle reminder: the Blood Bank talk will be held this Friday from 3 to 5pm (as mentioned on consent form, expected to end earlier)

ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY unless valid excuses are provided. Procedure for submitting excuses during training applies. Valid means pre-fixed activities that cannot be changed. Preferably rearrange tuition or other classes to come for this.

Refer to consent form for more details. Oh yes: do bring your consent forms as well, otherwise i'll have to start nagging for them all over again -.-

Yep ok cya Friday then :)

Attendance tracking tool

Hey guys,

Gavin here. I've added a Google document on the sidebar for you guys as a attendance tracking tool. Serves a few purposes:
--- You guys can check how your attendance is doing
--- If you guys feel that your excuses have been rejected unjustly, you may email Reeve to appeal.
--- You could also submit excuses for past trainings you missed

Yeah. You can find the link below the Teasure Chest link on the right tab. If you have any trouble accessing, do email our batch group and I'll try to reply promptly. Thanks~

EDIT: I need to share it with you for you to be able to access it. So inform me if you are supposed to have access and it's not granted.

FD (B) accreds postponed

Sec 1s...

Your current FD standard is really bad, and if we had accreded you guys, all of you would have failed, Therefore, the FD (B) accreds has been postponed to this Wednesday. All of you better mug for it because if you fail it, the chance of you getting promoted is lowered.

We want to see you putting in more effort, because ultimately, passing your accreds is for your own good.
Make your RIRC life a meaningful journey

-B62

New treasure chest!

Blog IPC

Hi guys,

we're having another IPC right here on the blog! This competition is similar to the first, however this time the theme is soccer, as you might be seeing plenty of that in the future ;). If you know the names of the (Year 3/4) sirs in the pictures below, type them out in the comments box and if you answer correctly, you will gain 15 points for your platoon!

Good luck! :D
~b62.

Training tomorrow (14 July)

Hi guys,

Quick reminder for you guys: remember to wear your new (unless you bought the older version from anyone in B61 :P) unit T-shirt for training tomorrow! Of course, if you do not wear it... you can always try and find out for yourselves ;)

Next thing, those who owe their PN/June camp consent forms or excuses, remember to bring them tomorrow as well. Best that you settle this stuff as soon as possible, so that I don't have to keep chasing you guys. Plus, you can keep a good attendance record by submitting on time :)

Ok c'ya tmr!

20th July

Hey guys,

please leave the date 20th of July free for now if you can, as we may be participating in the CAC finals. Further details will be given later :)

Thanks.

Hi Sec 1s,

You guys are gonna have a FD (B) accreds this Monday, so be prepared to suffer :D

June events (PN and camp)

Hello everybody,

Gavin from B62 here :). As you guys should know by now, I'm the guy in charge of attendance and admin-related stuff. Basically this post is to settle attendance related stuff for PN and June camp.

PN (Performance Night):
So, I need the following people to submit their PN consent forms:
B63: Yu Chen, Fangyuan, Jack, Aloysius, Saha, Jared, Benjamin

And these people need to submit excuses:
B63: Nathanael, Dylan, Vincent, Chang Yi
B64: Yu Hang, Melvin, Yijie, Daniel

June camp:
Consent forms:
B63: Yu Chen, Fangyuan, Nathanael
B64: Lin Hong

Excuses: Just Jack from B63 :)

--- Please follow the latest attendance protocol and submit both soft and hard copy evidence, and hard copy excuse letters. This is to be done by the end of July.
--- If you guys don't submit your excuses, then we'll consider that you missed camp invalidly. So please do cooperate and submit your excuses on time.
--- As for consent forms, please them pass to me by the end of training on 24th July (two weeks)
--- I'll remind you guys next training. If you need extra consent forms, please do email me (gavin@merlioncity.net). I can pass you copies for your parents to sign during training.

You can also find this post on the unit FB page. Thanks~

-B62

Attendance protocol

Hey peeps,

Below is the link for the official attendance protocol (yay)! It contains a list of all valid excuses, evidence needed etc. You can also refer to the document posted by Benjamin on the RIRC unit FB group as an alternative, more simple version (remember... 100% attendance? :P).

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wql8len2lup10q9/Attendance%20protocol.docx

Yup, that's all from me...

Napfa Retest

Hi all,

This is just a note to all going for NAPFA retest tomorrow (wednesday 3rd July), do remember that ALL of you are still required to come for training immediately after your NAPFA retest. Please report at the SR block foyer (normal reporting area if you all do not know already) and Forster or Gavin Sir will be there to take your attendance. So make sure you go look for them or else there goes you 100% attendance (POOF). If they aren't there, kindly look for any of your kind sirs :) to ask them to direct you to either Forster or Gavin Sir. Thank you.

P.S. Pls try to pass your NAPFA, we know its tough but try your best

~B62

RCK stuffies

HEYHEYHEY,

This is for the Sec 1s. You guys are going to have your RCK (B) reaccreds this Wednesday (yay!).
I know some of you have already passed this test, but we have come up with a cooler paper that all of you have to take. It's pretty awesome, and much tougher than the lame HQ papers. Also, the passing rate is 75%, so you guys probably should (YOU MUST!) mug for it.

One more thing, there will be a revision session before the accreds, so if you come prepared for the accreds, then you'll be prepared to bag yourself some platoon points in the stuff we have planned in the revision session.

Just so you know, the platoon with the most number of platoon points at the end of this term will get something epic from us in Term 4, so buck up and don't f*** up :D

SEC 2s THIS IS FOR YOU! DON'T THINK YOU CAN GET OFF EASY, WE GONNA HAVE SOME FUN WITH RCK NEXT TRAINING, SO YOU GUYS BETTER MUG AND SCORE SOME POINTS FOR YOUR PLATOON IN THE RCK LESSON!

-Your beloved B62
