The
OJ started off with a storyline that went like this:
One
day you woke up feeling nauseous but you don’t know where you are. It seems
like you are trapped in a forest-again! You need to find your way out, think
smart, think fast, you need to get out because every day at 1700h, the day
restarts itself and you would be stuck again. Are you going to waste another
day in this odd dimension or are you going to step out and step up to find the
beautiful place you know you deserve? All the best.
Station
1: Baggage rack
For this station, the
patrol has 20 minutes to build a structure to elevate their logistics. A patrol
member has to run 1 round around Block F for each logistic they wish to
collect. Every 3 minutes, 2 patrol members have to go up to do a set of PT.
Station
2: Elevation of patrol + logistics and First Aid
For the 2nd
station, the patrol has to build a structure to elevate half of their patrol
and all their logistics. They also have to treat 2 casualties. Once the
casualties have been treated, they can help the patrol. Lastly, 1 patrol member
has to go up every 4 minutes to answer first aid questions.
Station
3: Emergency shelter + Emergency signals
Finally, at this
station, the patrol has to construct a shelter to shelter at least 4 of their
patrol members. The shelter must also be able to elevate their logistics to
prevent it from being exposed to the terrain. They also have to light a signal
fire, as well as set up the 2 emergency signals needed.
After OJ and EDD Preparation, the Year 1s and 2s had a short inspection activity where they laid out their logistics for OJ, and this was to train their communication skills.
Reflection from a Year 2:
During Friday's PA, we had
to go to three different stations. I was rather nervous because the year 2s had
to lead the year 1s. Also, all of the year 1s had admitted that they did not
read the guides notes. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the 2nd station the most whereby
we were tested on our First Aid skills and also built a structure to elevate
all our logistics and at least 3 of the patrol members. However, we could also
have a higher morale by constantly cheering and take care of our logistics
better as we needed them for the rest of OJ. I also felt that the first attempt
we had for inspection was rather messy and we should have a better sense of
urgency. When we were given a certain layout after a few attempts, I felt that
we performed better as we listened to the instruction of one person and worked
quickly within the time limit.
Reflection from a Year 2:
For Friday's OJ, we were
all extremely nervous as it was our first time leading our year 1s in an OJ.
The fact that there was a lack of year 2s due to the EDD preparation worsened
the situation since there were less of us to lead the year 1s. As we had to go
from station to station as quickly as possible and within the time limit, we
had to work quickly by giving out clear instructions to the year 1s. We also
had to learn to be more familiar with building structures as we were supposed
to be role models for the y1s. If we were unsure of how to build something,
chances are that the y1s would be equally clueless, so this grained us to be
more confident as well as make sure we were familiar with basic structures.
Lastly, the inspection was extremely hectic so we had to learn to stay calm and
give clear instructions. Something we
should take note of for future OJs is to be very familiar with the guides’
notes, and to properly allocate manpower so that we can be efficient.
Reflection from a Year 2:
From this 集合, my main takeaway was to have cooperation as a patrol. I was
assigned to another patrol for the OJ, and hence did not know any of the year
1s in that patrol. Nevertheless, they were quite adept in following
instructions and overall I felt it was a good learning experience in learning how
to get along with others whom one is unfamiliar with. For the inspection, I
think we did much better than all the previous times. However, I still feel
that we need to improve in our communication skills and try not to shout at our
batch mates. We also need to learn how to involve all the year 1s. For
instance, we could get them to 报时, make sure nothing gets
kapped or even help to listen out for the layout. It was quite fun in the end
for we learnt who were the more vocal ones in the 团 and we also could revise our skills and first aid.
Reflection from a Year 2:
For the mini OJ, some of
our shortcomings include not having constant 报时 and cheering, 过时-ing a few times, being too inefficient, having loose lashes,
only having a sense of urgency towards the end of the activity, not being
familiar with the guides notes, as well as poor allocation of manpower.
However, some areas I think we performed well in included having creativity,
high morale, and eventually having a greater sense of urgency and working
faster as a patrol. For inspection, it was quite scary at first to be honest,
as we had to lead the year 1s as well as layout everything properly. However,
after a few attempts, I think that we eventually performed quite well in terms
of our layout and constant 报时, but one good takeaway is
that communication is extremely important.
