early morning 7.30 cadet falling in,instructor came out from the npcc office and take charge of their respective squad.the cadet look excited and some look tired.

7.30 to 0800 booking in procedure,take attendance,this also include inspection of bag for banned item in the camp.After checking the ncos take the squad for a small drill session which is wrong they should prepare their cadet for the next activties or let cadet to have water break as the timetable did not state that there is drill for this session. following what is suppose to do,instructor must know the next activities and get ready.Follow the activities stated in timetable.

0800 to 0830 Camp Opening Parade / Briefing Of Camp Objective,the camp opening we are late by 5 min because instructor are not aware of the time stated in the timeable.After opening parade is our camp objective briefing,

0830 to 0930 sec 1 Uniform lecture, the ncos teach the cadet the standerd for the uniform what should be done and what should nt be done.this session is very smooth.the lecture was boring i believe the ncos can make the lecture more intresting and fun.

Method of Instruction Lecture (drill) the sec 2 ncos teach the basic MOI as next year they taking over the unit. During the lecture, the ncos who got nothing to do tense to disturb the lecture and i think the activities should take action instead of playing with them too.the sec 2 got better knowledge on how to lead the squad for drills.camp coordinator must ensure the program go smoothly without intrupution and camp runner should assist the camp coordinator.

0930 - 1230 sec 1 and 2 drill session,low moral,but when use the promotion to attract them the squad moral tense to boost up.drill session insturctor should take note of mistake and correct them on the spot instead of leting dem repreat the same mistake.the cadet got better understanding for drill after revision.drill intructor must be alert and must take note of squad moral and safety.

1330 - 1430 (sec1)after lunch the sec 1 song session smooth running and the sec 1 have fun singing.for this session i can notice that cadet got no intrest,but song session is important it add joy and fun for atc esp campfire.cadet lke to shout song not sing song.
