He was awarded the International Sword for being the best international cadet during the 44-week course.
Lieutenant Nicholas Tang was recently awarded the International Sword for Best International Cadet for his performance during the Regular Commissioning Course intake 232 at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
“Since I have been in the military, my dad has been very proud of me and my achievements,” said the section officer at the Officer Cadet School. “It was the last thing I could do to honour him.” The infantry-based course at the academy, known simply as Sandhurst, comprises physical training exercises and academic modules such as war studies.
While rehearsing for a parade in December 2023, he received news that his father was in critical condition back in Singapore. At that moment, LTA Tang felt lost. Even though the pair did not spend much time together due to conflicting schedules, LTA Tang holds dearly the memories of evenings his father would drive him out for suppers.
“I might be the only Singaporean that some of the UK cadets know,” he said. “I wanted to leave an impression on those who don’t know Singapore.” Having to adapt to the cold climate was also wearying, said LTA Tang, who had never experienced winter before the course. Being away from his family for about a year caused him to miss key occasions such as his eldest sister’s wedding in July 2023 and the birth of his second sister’s son in August.Lieutenant Nicholas Tang now aims to nurture cadets to be confident and competent, especially when faced with tough situations.
