Drill Competition – 26/09/2009

1st Sibu Company annual drill competition was held on 26 September 2009 at SMK Methodist. This year we have 3 groups from 2nd years boys and 4 groups from recruits. Before the competition, a uniform inspection were carried out by Lt. Linda, Lt. Teo, Lt Jonny, Lt Constantine, W/o Lau Shiew Ping and W/o David Sii. After uniform inspection, the groups will proceed to the competition. Four judges were selected for the competition and they were Capt. Joesph Tin, Lt. Tonny Hii, Lt. Hu Wei Ung & W/o Toh Yik Kiet. The marking of the drill were divided into drill movements (60%), command’s sequence (20%) and uniform (20%). A best commander will also be selected in the end.

The following were the summarized feedback made by judges.

• It’s obvious that a lot of boys did not have enough drill practice.
• All the members fail to perform 90 degree legs movement.
• Commander didn’t prepare well enough especially in reporting to officer in charge.
• Some of the members are very nervous including commanders.
• Lack of spirit and smartness in drill.
• Boys always put their hand down before the officer when saluting.
• Commanders did not memorize well with their command’s sequence. It caused a lot of confusion.
• Lack of confidence .
• Too many ’semula’ command being called out.

To sum it all, it is obvious that all the boys did not have enough practice in their drill. Captain Joseph Tin gave a simple advice to all the boys. The only way improve the drill is to practice and do more drill. There is no shortcut to it.

After the competition, we had a drill down where participants will be eliminated upon making a mistake and the last one remain in the drill down will emerge as the champion. Unfortunately this year we didn’t have any champion. However it is a good sign to see that all the boys were  so eager to participate in the drill down.

In conclusion, there are plenty of rooms for improvement. More time and efforts need to spend in practicing drill.
