CAT 2010-2011

 “Being an officer is an obligation and not a position.” These are words we’ve read from a message given to us by a special senior of ours. Let’s just call her Ma’am At Ease. Indeed our training was never easy but all the hard work paid off. We have proven something we never expected we can do. As a matter of fact, I would like to share everything that happened in our training. But as someone who has undergone training would say, “Sir what you see, what you hear, when you go, leave it here, Sir.” Ten months have passed. Ten months of service to our dear IJA. We deal with different students of our school- the disciplined ones and the special ones. Checking their bags, raising or waving the Philippine flag, asking our schoolmates to go back to their classrooms or fall in line, guiding them to their places during school activities, getting angry to those not following school rules, washing waxed hair and many more.  The stress, the pressure we’ve felt while doing such is not what matters, it is the fun we had and the reality that we are doing it for the welfare of the students.

                One of the great things of being an officer is that we are given the chance to show our learning during the training. The CAT Presentation. "The different riffle executions, different facings and fancies, different exhibition. Without bragging or anything, we've had the least time and least interest to practice. We've had the least chance to bond with each other. We've had the shortest minutes of dance number. Yet this is what happened, NEWLY PAINTED RIFLES, NEWLY ADDED RIFLE EXECUTIONS, PERFECT INTRODUCTIONS, WE ARE MARCHING SYNCHRONIZED AND WE LOOKED GREAT WHEN MDME. BUENAOBRA ACQUAINTED EACH OF US, CLOCKWISE DRILLS, PERFECT TIMINGS. We all know why these happened, 'coz we are not assuming! And God is our armour all throughout! Those prayers made us really blessed!"(Angela Joy Rafol) 

                All the hard works paid off and the sweats were replaced by fun. And in behalf of the CAT officers 2010-2011, I, the Bravo Company Commander would like to say “Sir thank you Sir”, “Ma’am thank you Ma’am” to all of our schoolmates, teachers and staff especially to our great commandant, Mr Bernardo Narvaez, our seniors and of course to the one who made it all possible, our Almighty Father.

                Now all I have to say is: “I am one but not the only one” Congratulations Co-officers! Good Luck CAT aspirants and please keep this in mind, the most important General Order is “TO BRING SOMETHING GOOD FOR HUMANITY”. THANK YOU INFANT JESUS ACADEMY!
