THE NCC CADETS OF 2021 – 2022 BATCH HAD GONE TO THE CATC CAMP (COMBINED ANNUAL TRANING CAMP) HELD IN VEL TECH COLLEGE, AVADI ON 20TH OF NOVEMBER AND RETURNED ON 27TH OF NOVEMBER. IN THAT TIME PERIOD THEY LEARNT MANY THINGS SUCH AS TENT PITCHING, PARTS OF SLR (SELF LOADING RIFLE), SHIP MODELLING AND POSITIONS FOR FIRING IN SLR. MAINLY THEY LEARNT HOW TO DO NAVY DRILL AND THE MOTTO OF NCC WHICH IS UNITY AND DISIPLINE. THE PHOTOS TAKEN IN CAMP BY MR. THAMARAISELVAM SIR (CARETAKER OF NCC NAVY) AND THE OTHER SENIORS WHO WE MET IN THE CAMP.
WHILE IN DRILL PRACTICE THEY WERE TAUGHT BY THEIR SENIORS AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO IT. THEY LEARNT DIFFERENT KINDS OF DRILL LIKE NAVY AND ARMY AND ALSO THE WORD OF COMMAND GIVEN FOR EACH. THEY LEARNT TURNING, MARCHING, etc.
SEMAPHORE IS A WAY OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TWO SHIPS WHEN THERE IS NO SIGNAL OR DISASTER. THEY USE TWO FLAGS HALF YELLOW AND HALF RED FLAGS TO CONVEY THE MESSAGE WITH SIGNS TO THE OTHER SHIP. THERE IS A CODE WORD FOR EVERY LETTER EG; A – ALPHA, B – BRAVO, etc. THE SENIORS AND THE SIRS TAUGHT THEM HOW TO HOLD THE FLAG AND HOW TO CONVEY IT TO EVERYONE PRESENT THERE.
THIS IS SARVESH NARAYAN, A CADET OF OUR SCHOOL MANAGED TO CONVEY THE FULL ALPHABETIC ORDER OF SIGNS IN THE STAGE TO EVERYONE.
THE SHIP MODELLING CLASS TAUGHT THEM WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF SHIPS, WHAT ARE THEY MADE OF, WHAT MATERIALS IS USED FOR STICKING ITS PARTS, WHAT TOOLS ARE USED FOR CUTTING IT OR MODELLING IT, PARTS OF THE SHIP INS - MYSORE AND A NORMAL BOAT WITH SAILS.
TENT PITCHING IS HOW TO BUILD A TENT IF ANYONE GOES FOR A TREKKING CAMP OR A MILITARY CAMP. THEY LEARNT PARTS OF THE TENT AND HOW TO BUILD IT USING WEAPONS (MATERIALS USED TO BUILD IT), EG: POLE, Y-POLE, U-PIN, V-PIN, etc.
ON THE LAST DAY BEFORE LEAVING THE CAMP, OUR SCHOOL’S CONTIGENT TOOK A PHOTO WITH THE SIRS AND SOME OF THEIR SENIORS.
