Here are what our cadets had to say about the camp, from 1SG Chu Hang "The course wasn't as easy as I thought, we are not allowed to bathe and to wash our face. After the second day, everyone was extremely tired, but there are also many important leadership skills that our unit lack of. I have learned how to plan training, how to teach and pass down knowledge".
From 1SG Amoz "Before the camp started, I was expecting it to be another ordinary camp, however, it was a much more mentally and physically demanding camp."
From 1SG Aaron "Overall I find that the leaders camp is mentally challenging. The first day seems forever, time passes very slowly. Honestly, in my mind, I am hoping that the camp will come to an end as soon as possible, but come to think of it now, I kind of miss the time where I get to know new friends and the games I have played there. It is a memorable experience, being able to sleep in the Basha which I believe most of us have not tried sleeping in a Basha before. Also, not able to shower for 3 days which would make you feel uncomfortable, making you want to give up easily. This camp really test your physical and mental endurance. The leaders challenge is one of the toughest thing I have done. We would need to run from place to place, doing Individual Fieldcraft (IFC) , Airsoft and the reverse Motivation Obstacle Course (MOC). It was really very tiring that I almost give up, yet I persevered. People might think Leaders Camp is a slack camp. But honestly it is not. It is mentally demanding. Waking us up at 5:30 am and having PT early in the morning. Also during the start of the camp, it is very hard to adapt as the people in your platoon are people that you do not know. But yet I made a lot of friends. I have learnt lots of stuff from the camp. For example, teamwork. Teamwork is the main thing I have learned in this camp. Without teamwork, alot of things wouldn't have accomplish. For example, the building of Basha and the reverse MOC. I really had fun in this camp and I would recommend my juniors to attend the camp."
From 1SG Travis "The 3 days leaders camp was mentally and physically demanding. I felt that i have learnt alot of leadership skills through the various activities. The most memorable part of the camp was the leaders challenge. It consist of the Motivation Obstacle Course, airsoft rifle shooting and the Individual Fieldcraft (IFC). The challenge proved to be physically and mentally demanding as it was the last day of our camp and we were already extremely exhausted. I think one of the most valuable lesson we can take away is teamwork. Without the encouragement from my 9 other team members i doubt that it would be easy to endure through the camp"
From 1SG Petrie "The leaders camp was really a blast for me, once we'd reached the camp we were split into 5 different platoons and whilst the cadet officers were doing administration work we were given time to introduce ourselves and I found out most were as scared as me. Many things were different such as the routine in the PT, when the instructor shouted 'Down!' we would have to go as low as we could and hold it there until he said 'Up!' again. After breakfast, we went up a hill called Sata Hill where we did the baby crawl, Leopard crawl and back crawl. On the last day would have been the day I was awaiting the most, the award ceremony. Although I did not win the leaders challenge I was glad that my whole platoon made it through together as a team."
