Drill Stage (PRACTICAL) Results

Dear GB girls who took drill stage tests today^^

It was quite draining mentally and physically, wasn't it? I'm glad that you took up the challenge and completed it! The overall feedback from the Drill Instructors were:
1. Failure to give 90 degrees 'bang'
2. Arm swing not 90/45, elbows bent
3. Upper body should not move during he takes
4. Lifting the knee high when marching
5. Fringe not fully hidden under cap (untidy)
6. Losing balance during keblakang pushing (never lock arms)
7. Cap not tilted correctly
8. Name tag pinned too high above breast pocket (lanyard should not be seen between name tag and breast pocket)
9. Hormats: index finger should be pointing to eyebrow, not below the eye, hand should tilt down slightly so that Palm cannot be seen
10. Tie badge not in center of tie (needs to be 'cradled' by tie when tie folded at mid-way)
11. EYES SHOULD ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD; not moving and following the instructors
12. T-L-V should involve the feet stamping fully on the ground, not just toes
 Generally, the stage 2 candidates fared poorer for uniform inspection, which I'm very disappointed.
