Punishment Aims: GVSS Delta aims to instill discipline in cadets and expose them to the common mistakes and offenses committed by the cadets. This can be done through the introduction of corporal punishments as an effective method of discouraging basic mistakes and keeping discipline. As 'tekan-ing' had been banned by HQ NCC, punishments will only be used according to the guidelines set out in this handbook. There will be no abuse of power. Note: A cadet can only punish another cadet if he or she is 2 or more ranks higher than the offender. When cadets with the rank of 3rd Sargent or higher issue a static punishment to an offender, the cadet is also to do double the punishments given out by him or her. This is because the cadet has failed in his duty to discipline the offender properly. There are a few types of punishments, mainly static punishments, Detentions and duties, stripping of privileges, or even demotion. The most common type, static punishments, are usually used for small offenses. It is usually a basic exercise (e.g. Push Up) that can be done on the spot of offense. The aim of static punishments is to serve as an immediate reminder not to do it again, and allows the offender to pay for his misdeeds with discomfort. If it does not seem to work, The cadet's privileges can be removed. This can include the privilege to play games after PT, or even the privilege to wear the PT kit. For more serious offenses, cadets can be stripped of their ranks or even expelled from the corps. Punishments are also mostly done together as a part immediately after offense has been committed. This is to reinforce the “One for all, and All for one” spirit.

Punishment Trade Since all static punishments are done in Push Ups, GVSS NCC understands that when the number gets too high, Push Ups should be allowed to change into other forms of punishments. Cadets punished with Push Ups can choose to change 1 Push Up for 2 Sit Ups or Crunches, 2 Squats, 1 count of 8 jumping Jumping Jacks, or 3 Buddha claps. Cadets can also choose to perform all activities during the next NCC training in Full no.4 with 2 PT shirts inside. Doing so will waive 100 Push Ups.

Buddha Claps Although the Buddha Clap exercise is not strictly physically demanding on its own, GVNCC will be combining this exercise with the Half-Squat. Thus, this exercise is a good alternative punishment for cadets who are unable to do Push Ups as it tires both arms and legs muscles. It can be maintained for long periods of time and its difficulty can be easily increased or decreased. Cadets doing the Buddha Claps will first get into the Half Squat position. From a Senung Diri position, cadets will begin bending at the knee so that a 90 degree angle is formed. The back, buttocks and head is to be kept upright and straight in a line, the arms are to be extended sideways away from the body, at a 90 degrees angle. The arms must be fully extended, straight, and elbows locked. Cadets are to ensure that the arms are held parallel to the thighs, and the legs are in a constant right angle. CADETS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SLOUCH and backs are to be upright at all times. This is called the Half squat position, or the Phantom Chair as cadets will look as if they are sitting on an invisible chair. Cadets are to maintain the Half-squat position throughout the duration of the exercise. From this position, on the command of '1', cadets will move their arms to their front, making a clap, all the while keeping their arms straight, parallel to the thighs and perpendicular to the body. On the command of '2', cadets will return to the original Half Squat position by moving their arms back to their sides, Arms, elbows and shoulders must lie in a straight line. On the command of '3', Cadets are to bring

RESTRICTED

RESTRICTED their arms above their heads, clapping above the head. On the command of '4', Cadets will return to the HalfSquat position. This repetition is 1 count of 4. Two repetitions is 1 count of 8. Cadets are to do 40 counts of 8, 35 counts of 8, and 45 counts of 8 for PT. Note: To increase difficulty of the exercise, Cadets can be made to hold wooden rifles or their boots in their hands while doing this exercise. It is recommended that cadets rest their backs against a smooth wall while doing this exercise.

i)

BEHIND ENEMY LINES (4th January) Behind Enemy Lines is a 2001 film starring Gene Hackman and Owen Wilson. The film is loosely based on the Mrkonjić Grad incident. The Mrkonjić Grad incident was an incident in which a Bosnian Serb Army SA-6 surface-to-air missile shot down a USAF F-16 near Mrkonjić Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 2, 1995. The American pilot, Scott O'Grady, ejected safely and was rescued six days later, on June 8.

ii)

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (14th March) Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 Academy-Award-winning film set in World War II, directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Robert Rodat. This film is particularly notable for the intensity of its opening 24 minutes, which depict the Omaha beachhead assault of June 6, 1944. Thereafter it presents a fictional search for a paratrooper of the U.S. 101st Airborne Division. While this part of the plot is a work of fiction, the premise is very loosely based on the real-life case of the Niland Brothers. Saving Private Ryan was well received by audiences and garnered considerable critical acclaim, winning several awards for film, cast and crew as well as earning significant returns at the box office.

ARMY DAZE (Part A Camp)

Army Daze is a Singaporean film released in 1996. A comedy based on the National Service experience by a group of enlistees in the Singapore Armed Forces, it was one of the earliest top-grossing films then, bringing in some S$1,600,000 at the local box office. Costing Cathay Asia Films just S$700,000 to make, it was also one of the most profitable Singaporean films at that time.

iv)

BAND OF BROTHERS (10 EPISODES) – (TO BE SHOWN EVERY ODD WEEKS OF TRG) The miniseries centers on the experiences of Company E ("Easy Company") of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, U.S. 101st Airborne Division and one of its lieutenants, Richard Winters, from Easy's initial training, through the American airborne landings in Normandy, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of Bastogne and on to the end of the war.
