00:00Alright, good day everyone, I'm Major Enquirer Wang Reeve, callsign Matrix.

00:23My name is ME3NS Thomas Ng.

00:25Hi, I am 3SG Benjamin Ng.

00:28I am Lieutenant Camilla.

00:29As the flight lead, my duties are to enforce discipline within my team, in the air and

00:34on the ground.

00:35Ensure my team flight members are sufficiently prepared and well trained.

00:40And also deliver an impactful performance display to Singapore and all Singaporeans

00:45safely.

00:46So I'm part of the core team and we essentially do all of the pre-preparation required to

00:51roll the flag, make sure that the flag is ready for the rehearsal.

00:55And on the day itself, we do up all the rigging so that the flag can unroll smoothly.

00:59In my regular service, I have participated about seven times.

01:02In my NS capacity, this is my third time as an NS man on board the Chinooks for the state

01:08flight pass.

01:09While you may sense that I have participated many times, but every single state flight

01:13pass is always a new challenge.

01:16As maintenance crew, we have a very long list of inspections, maintenance and servicing

01:22to be carried out.

01:23And all these are curated specifically for our H-64Ds.

01:27Just specifically to myself as an FLC, our inspection calls us to look out for any signs

01:33of wear and tear, damage or defects.

01:38And raise these concerns to our specialists for them to conduct further assessment and

01:43carry out any troubleshooting and rectifications works as necessary.
