      Sometimes I feel the pre-NS training notion is carried out a little too enthusiastically. DS just told me this morning they were takan-ed to do human wheelbarrow on the burning track (having been scorched by the sun the whole day). Heart pain... :scared: Luckily he'd only had blisters on his hands, and it's over.

      Then don't have him join those Uniformed Groups or Sports for CCA if you don't want him to go through that. CHS full of doing Pushups on the Bare Ground in those Groups!

              I'm not against rational push-ups. But 'walking' on bare palms on sun-smooched tracks? Ouch! He wants no interference from me, though my only advice for him is not to do such things to juniors when he's in that position to decide.

                      But one parent said too young to subject to this, that's all. Not me who pointed it out actually. ;D
