1st 2 days of 56th NCC C/OFFR course = Laughing course ....

First day, report at blk 246 to my syndicate. Then settle all the admins stuff ... Then march to MPH for the photo taking, then the commandant NCC come and join in the photo taking and he said : " This is my very last photo taking with the NCC ..." We'll all laughing, the officers were also laughing .... After photo taking then went to MPH for the opening address ceremony, Commandant NCC Stuart Khoo gave his speech, he said that he will be joining us from this week until 3rd Dec. Introducing all the staffs in the NCC structure, and he even introduce us the new Commandant NCC which will be taking over by a Commando/Ranger ... Forget his name already .... His uniform has alot of wing badges, somemore some of the wing badge are big ... Seriously ... Then had a reception at the canteen ... Eat alot of stuff, after eating we fall in outside the canteen and march into MPH and sit inside there, then Course Warrant Teo talk cock with us ... He really had tons of comments and jokes to say ... He say :"Wah, very soon you'll will be having ur lunch already ah !!" ... Then he start asking cadets some qns ... "He said : "Who is our current Commandant NCC ??" Then he point to a girl, that girl doesn't know the answer !!! Then another guy from my syndicate replied : "Lawerence Chua". Then the whole course laugh ... Warrant Teo say : "Lawerence Chua your relative ah ??" Warrant Teo continue : "It's Major Lawerence Chua, ur course commander. It's LTC Stuart Khoo !!" Ok, after lunch we had a lecture by a outside vendor. He's here to lecture about success and to counter our fear all this ... I feel that it's a excellent lecture for us !! And it's also another joking lecture too ...

Day 2, which is today. We had our SAR 21 Technical Handling ... We had a SAR 21 introduction at the Threatre. Then we try to practise and had a test ... Oh yeah, there's alot of testing category ... For e.g. striping and assemble of SAR 21, loading and unloading and Immediate Action to it ... And i pass all the category ... It's quite easy la actually, the striping of the SAR 21 is super easy, but then assemling of SAR 21 got abit of problem ... It might took a longer time to assemble the weapon ... The immediate action i got a small little of problem with it but well it's solved whereas the rest there's no problem with it. Then after lunch, we had our lesson on clearing of weapon which is that M-16 rifle ... Using of rifle cleaning kit and clean the rifle, and it's easy too ... Just setup the 5 piece rod and slot a flatelette (a cloth use to clear the muzzle) through the small hole ... And my small group of 4 is the first to clear that dirty rifle ... YEAH !! Because we slot the 5 piece rod through the muzzle and then it created a squeezy noise which means the carbons are clear and the rifle muzzle is clean !! Yeah !! And today we are dismiss by 4.30pm ... So early ah !!

Everybody, just to tell u'll. SAR 21 isn't lighter than that old M-16 ...

The heaviest SAR 21 is those which are equipped with a M-203 grenade launcher which weighs about 5.3kg ...

The normal SAR 21 weighs about 3.82kg while a M-16 rifle weighs about 2.85kg.

A difference of 0.97kg
