[[RVNP Sec01 'o8]] journeys♥
Change is the only constant thing is this world.
Yes, I agree, I seriously agree.
From ignorant NPCC cadets we were at the start of the year to the currently slightly more mature cadets now, we've gone through loads of different troubles together. Through them all, we all have unknowingly created bonds between one another. Bonds that will bind us together as one for a couple of years more to go, regardless of whether we want it or not. We're still currently like the molecules in the liquid state, bound more closely as compared to the gaseous state, but still distant from one another. Perhaps it'll take a longer time for us all to solidify into our solid state, I don't know. But I hope, no, we all should hope, that it'll happen soon.
The change of the batch of NCOs did create an impact on us, a huge impact actually. Before the change, around Mid-July to about Early-August, we were all mostly very enthusiastic for our acts and the attendance was rather satisfying, though it wasn't perfect. Thats because we adored and loved our ex-NCOs, causing that phenomenen. But no, we shouldn't live in the past, and revel in the bliss that we were once in. Change has came, even Barack Obama has became the very first black president, so why should we still resist this new current batch of NCOs?
We've been trying to block out them from entering our lives as cadets, and not releasing their full potential of being good NCOs. We've also been comparing them to our previous batch of NCOs, not that it is a bad thing, but yeah, that'll only remind of us the past, which isn't good in the long run. So why don't we just go along with the never-ending flow of change?
I am tired.
We all are tired.
We all hope that going for acts aren't more of a chore than pleasure.
It is possible, seriously, it is.
Think, in the past, we were all trying out best to resist the previous NCO batch, but over time, we did start to accept them, to embrace them, and of course, to love them. So why not we do the same for this current batch of NCOs?
The talk, or rather, heart-to-heart discussion we had yesterday together with the NCOs seriously set me thinking hard.
We're now falling apart, our standard has dropped, the enthusiasm level is no longer there. In short, the burning flame in us has been doused with water and it's slowly being extinguished. It seriously saddens me that we're becoming the state that we are now.
Are the NCOs really that bad?
Or are do we just simply refuse to accept them?
I don't know, I seriously don't know the answer.
But all I know is that we've to create an opening for us to get out of this state we're in now. And it can only be accomplished as a squad, I emphasise, as a squad.
We want to be looked up at by our juniors, we definitely do not want to be looked down upon by our seniors. So lets work hard together, to achieve that standard that we want, to become good cadets, and in the end, good NCOs that will be able to lead the incoming juniors.
Even the NCOs are trying to change. As they said, they are all trying to reflect upon their actions, and think of ways to improve the standard of the unit. Even NCO Raymeo, who seems to be extremely strict during acts, stated on his blog that he'll try not to scold us that much, and that already shows that they're changing.
So, squadmates, lets move on, shall we? Let the poision of misery be purged from our hearts, and it'll only be then where OUR new beginning with the current batch of NCOs will start.
We must remember, its not the batch of NCOs that we're coming to acts for, its not the NCOs that we're doing our best for.
We're doing it for our squadmates, and for RVNP itself.
Its for the regcognition of our squad by others.
So from here on, lets just unleash whatever force we've been surpressing from earlier on.
Together, lets create a new page of history for ourselves from now on, shall we?
-Ken.
