"Sorry Sir." But What For?
By now I suppose all of you here know the scores of the IMT shoot, as a platoon and company level. And for the guys who were in front during fall-in position, yes, I did cry while scolding you all.

Eugene expressed his apologies to me immediately after the whole episode. Though heartwarming and assuring that there's someone who cares, it kept me thinking: Yes I cried, you all broke my heart (yes I still have a heart), a "Sorry" made me feel better, but really, that's not the point.

Yes, I'm sure there are others who are disappointed, but considering the bigger picture, it wasn't the score that was frustrating and disappointing. It was the lack of passion and enthusiasm that was shocking. The new teacher-officer commented on the indifference most of you showed, how you seemed to took it as if nothing has happened, and was seriously disappointed, yet irritated and frustrated.

If that's the case, whatever happened to "RVNC FTW"? That would just be a mere lip-service, isn't it? A "Yes Sir!", and then back to RVHS with a "Fail" score, is nothing more than a mere lip-service. No passion, no enthusiasm, just a "Yes Sir!" to prevent further questioning. Period.

Shooting is a skill that can be trained with time. But without passion and enthusiasm, without feeling for the unit nor the CCA, any training would be rendered useless. I believe that the most honest of reflections are not being spoken, and passion is just like that - it is kept within your heart, growing within you as you progress on in RVNCC. Admittedly, NCC is one CCA that is hard to be passionate about.

However, having said that, all's not lost, as there will be people who will take the positive step, and I believe your new PCs and APCs should be such people. But that must also be coupled with your own heart and mind - what you feel and think about NCC. And what better time is it to think of it than now, because you all will be the next batch of Specialists.

"When the going gets tough, the tough gets going." I understand pre-Specialists days may be tough, but I strongly believe that each and every one of you are tough cadets. Perhaps, it's time for you all to get going.
