My CCA in secondary school was National Civil Defence Cadet Corps, or NCDCC for short. This CCA taught me more about how much care and effort is being put into the Civil Defence of Singapore. Being part of the Corps, I went through various challenges with my unit to bring up its standards to achieve Gold for the Unit Overall Proficiency Award, or UOPA in short. We had memories to look back upon after graduation and some of us went on to continue leading and serving the unit. Overall, NCDCC has given me a glimpse of how the SCDF are willing to fight fires and save lives as an enduring force.
