Back at Fairfield Secondary

I called Shen on the way to the secondary school, since I couldn't just enter the school just like that, and of course the guard will catch me with my long hair. I met Shen at the front gate, and we entered. Apparently there was photo taking today, so there were many students near the driveway towards the exit of the front gate.

When I walked in, many students started staring at me, I guess its be because of my long hair(?). Me and Shen went to the CCA block and I met up with my juniors whom I took them for more than a year. Of course they still remembered me, except they took some time to recognize me since I had my hair "altered" to 3 times longer since secondary school. There was a muster parade that day. Shen became a cadet lieutenant around the end of last year, and he told me alot of stories about the many incidents in the unit and also among the teachers too. When I heard them, I was shocked because some of the problems were caused by the teachers themselves.

Anyway I helped out the Secondary 3 platoon, since they were the ones that were going to lead the unit very soon. Soon it was the parade itself, and guess what? The teachers even changed the basic structure of the parade, there was no standard in the marching, and there was no march past at all. I was completely at a loss for words. The teachers completely omitted the basic structure which was stated clearly by the HQ that it was not supposed to be changed or omitted in anyway. Oh well, I can't do anything since I am only a senior with no more rank, unless I got for the cadet officer course.

After the parade, I thought Ji Hao and Adli some of my PDS skills (didn't go rusty since it is still my passion even after I graduated). I left for home soon after. I felt really happy since I was openly welcomed back by the unit even after 1 year of not helping out after graduating. But however I am not really happy with the changes made to the unit, and that the teachers also expects us to update them, but they themselves do not update us in the first place. Oh well, I hope that things will improve, and that I definitely do hope to see some changes the next time I come back to Fairfield NCC.
