Depends on your Unit CO.. if CO very gungho, will organise one for the cadets to go..Originally posted by stellazio:ncc got outfield ar.
Hmm.. I not from NPCC so I can't comment much..
NCC doesn't teach you much about NS. Basically, what you learn in there can be covered in a pretty short time in NS. You're just spending time learning basic stuff for 4 years, unless you go for higher-up courses like Advance Drill Course or Cadet LT Course. But even our higher-up courses are nothing compared to the real thing.
NCC is good for building bonds, and for good memories. Sign up for all the course you can get, especially if you're from the Air Unit.

i rmb my part A and B camp must pitch tent and sleep in the basha, next day do IFC stuff.
Much of which is quite different from what they teach in bmt nowadays though. -
perhaps one good thing about NCC is that you can take the BAC.
which would need you to meet a level of fitness (which would prove useful in NS - provided you maintain!), an experience that you can use as an edge in NS (unless you join the CDOs)
where does NCC conduct it's outfield? In school? In Amoy Quee Camp? -

whats bac.. i dun think ncc conducts that.
err during my time, the outfield camps was held at amoy quee.
nowadays i heard to cut cost, part A and B camps held in school, only Spec, UDI and CLT courses at amoy quee not so sure bout it but it was this way for the 2 batches after me. -
basic airborne couse
i was attached to NCC for a short stint in NS, and I noticed they stayed in bunks for Spec Cse. that was in 06. Looks like there's no 'outfield'. -
thank you everyone!
now i have a better idea the 'link' btw NCC and NS....
-
In terms of physical training, you can't really compare the different CCAs. Physical fitness is totally within a person's control (well, not totally, but to a significant extent). Schools shouldn't need to push students to be fit.
I agree about Scouts being the better CCA, mainly because I was one.
From all the stories I've read on this forum, I can draw many parallels to my own experiences in Scouts. -
Our outfields are not conducted locally, thats for my school. We did that over in Malaysia's forest. Or a short one in Ubin which shouldn't be really considered as an outfield at all... but what we do is stupid la... our IFC are just the crawls etc... camouflaging by tying the leaves and things onto our bodies with rubber bands...Originally posted by sir sickolot II:basic airborne couse

BAC.. if only I had the chance to attend that course, sounds damn fun.. -

Really sian.. this is one of the only few ways I can get airbourne in SG...

It gives a some advantage in terms of discipline, knowledge of drills, and fieldcraft.
Those in Scouts or NPCC, take your campcraft seriously. It will be very useful during your Situational Test in BMT. -
