“ The Senior Specialist Course was an eyeopening experience for me . Although it involves much regimentation , I looked at the bright side . Besides the regimentation which was for my own good , the instructors still took our welfare into serious consideration . They kept stressing that the welfare of cadets is very important and that we need to take care of them sincerely . At the same time , we also need to draw the line between Specialists and Cadets .”
