Non-stationary commands (with rifle): Salute to the front/left/right Eyes right and left About turn Turning to the right/left while marching
Orienteering:
How to find back bearing from map bearing? If map bearing is less than 180 degrees, add that number with 180 degrees Eg: Map bearing = 20, Back bearing = 200 If map bearing is more than 180 degrees, subtract that number by 180 degrees. Eg: Map bearing = 200, Back bearing = 20
Concept of back bearing Back bearing from A to B = bearing from B to A
Resection and intersection: Resection: To find position on Map when the position on Ground is known Intersection: To find position on Ground when the position on Map is known IM, RG
Steps in resection 1. Align the map with the magnetic north 2. Find 3 landmarks on the ground and mark them on the map 3. Measure the field bearing of one of the landmarks 4. Find the back bearing of that landmark 5. Based on the back bearing, draw a line on the map from that landmark towards the unknown position. 6. Repeart step 3-5 for the 2nd and 3rd landmark 7. The intersection of the lines = your location on map
Steps in intersection 1. Mark the known position on the map 2. Find 3 landmarks on the ground that are easily accessible 3. Find the map bearing of one of the landmarks 4. Calculate the distance between the landmark and the known position. This is done by measuring the line between them and convert it to actual distance based on the scale. 5. From the land mark, walk on the field bearing (map bearing), according to the distance calculated. This is based on individual's double pacing. Eg, If one takes 70 double steps to travel 100m, he/she will take 700 steps to travel 1km on the map. 6. Put an object after walking finish. This is to gauge roughly (together with the other objects) where the position on the ground is. This step is unnecessary if there are 3 person doing step 3-5 simultaneously, with each doing a landmark. 7. Repeat step 3-6 for the other 2 landmarks. 8. The 3 paths should interest to give the position on the ground.
Walking Techniques 1. Walking on a bearing (Man to Object) 2. Walking on a bearing (Man to Man) 3. Detouring and side-stepping
Regards, NCO squad CIs

Dear NCOs,
A big congratulation to those who have cleared your Sergeant (SGT) Promotion Tests since 9th June.
You may check your official rank at the Ranks and Proficiency Badges section in this Forum.
For those of you who did poorly in Arms Drills, do put in more time and effort to perfect your execution of the drill movements. Same for those who did poorly in Outdoors (Advanced Orienteering), please revise and remember the steps involved, and if better still, understand how the Orienteering skills work.
I must say that not many can do well in both Drills and Outdoors sections, but being good in one area is what we are looking out for during the SGTPC. If you excel in either Drills or Outdoors, the SGT rank is definitely making its way to your shoulder. However, do not rest on your laurels as most of you have to master the other section which you did not do well in.
For those who did not clear the tests, do not despair. Besides working harder, you may also want to clarify concepts and skills which you are unsure of.
THIS MESSAGE GOES OUT TO ALL NCOS:
WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW IS RIGHT, MAY NOT BE RIGHT. CLARIFY WHENEVER IN DOUBT. YOU HAVE THE OPTION OF CHOOSING TO BE EMBARRASED IN FRONT OF YOUR SQUADMATES NOW, OR TO BE EMBARRASED IN FRONT OF YOUR FUTURE CADETS. THE KEY TO EXCEL BEGINS WITH YOUR COURAGE TO ASK.
=)
