The very last mission of the day was victory march where all the Patrician Troopers have to complete this walk together as a  team, cohort and Patrician family. Every step we take together, will only make us bond and believe that we can achieve it. Though the distance 4km maybe long, with everyone’s effort, we will be able to complete  it.

Raising Patrician's flag high up!

conquering victory march with a big wide smile

Let's do this together!

After walking for 1km, rain pour on us and we have to turn back to HQ to complete our final challenge. The final challenge not only stretch us as Patrician Trooper, it continuously encourages us to step out of our comfort zone to reach our final destination. In life, sometimes we face challenges and the unexpected, as long as we are to brace through the storm, we will be tougher and stronger.

The higher we clap, the more powerful we are.

As long as we hold on to each other, all our dream will come true.

All for One, One for All

The second day was a day of missions. Having completed BMT, some of us were appointed as PLATOON IC, whereby we will take charge of the group with the guidance of our platoon mentor and platoon specialist . We had to go out there and lead our company and find 6 secret coded messages that will enable us to proceed on to our remaining mission.

I'm strong to carry my fellow Patrician Troopers!

Patrician! Jump today, so that you can fly tomorrow!

Fastest hand first! Trooper working together as one team

As the time went by, all Patrician troopers were capable of working with everyone in the platoon. We had to understand that we need to understand and respect one another first before we could function as a team. Every team is only as strong as its weakest link. Together then we can achieve more! He who wills, CAN – Potest Qui Vult!

Salutes from the heart.

All ready for the promotion.

After a long day of BMT, hard drilling and of course tremendous loads of fun, it was time for these recruits to pass out.
Coming in a package of rehearsals and even a speech from one of their own teachers, the Passing Out Parade was one to remember.

Recruits were no longer known as such: These troopers are now known as Privates.

The promotion represents camp maturity, whereby they are no longer boys in a new unfamiliar and alien environment. They are now grown Patricians in camp, ready to undertake any and every obstacle which comes their way.

Let the Patrician Pride burn bright.

With one of the most inspirational teachers our coaches have ever met.

I Conquered BMT!!

As soon as the troopers arrived at our home base, Singapore Vision Farm, they were immediately grounded with self-set rules and a full learning and safety briefing to set minds at ease.
There was much to do, much to learn, much to enjoy.
Besides the usual framing and rapport-building, there were also activities specially crafted to bring out the best in every trooper, yet at the same time training them to be Troopers of Tomorrow.
Drills were utilized to instill discipline and order, and the Platoon Mentors as well as the Platoon Specialists gave their 110% in response to the 100% participation shown by the Secondary 1 Troopers.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is Basic Military Training.

Platoon, Fall In!

When you're the marker for everyone else to follow...

Checking up on dressing. No, not the shirts...

Taking cover; Ironically, in plain sight.

Troopers are multi-talented: They even repair Water Systems.

This is the Minefield

Brotherhood lasts even through the mud and muddy.

Even in the dirt, I love St. Pat's.

Good day to all Patrician Troopers!
