First, the Senior General delivered a speech, saying the Tatmadaw has been nurturing qualified personnel in respective training schools and trainees of the institute are being nurtured with the aim of enhancing the capabilities of the military engineering sector. As a result, trainees are required to study engineering subjects taught at the institute in order to be actually competent in them. The upgrading tasks of the institute have been carried out and as a favourable environment has been created, it is confident that the morale of trainees have improved. Although creating a favourable environment is a physical aspect, it can contribute a lot to improvement of morale.
When trainees perform duties in relevant battalions and units on completion of the training courses, it is necessary for them to carry out their duties responsibly by applying engineering subjects taught at the courses correctly. It is necessary for trainees to understand that doing so amounts to working for the betterment of the Tatmadaw and personal development.
Trainees are systematically selected and trained and instructors are required to train them properly to enable all of them to be competent on completion of the courses. All trainees are required to be competent in military science and technologies.
Education does not end at training schools and personnel are required to continue to study consistently. The more comprehensive the workload, the more necessary the effort.
Personnel are required to work creatively for the improvement of tasks being carried out. Only when personnel are competent, will they become experts. Personnel are required to study academic papers for their respective subjects in their free time. The English language is indispensable in studying engineeringsubjects, personnel are required to study the language.
In studying academic subjects, personnel will be competent in their respective subjects by learning them daily. A more capable Tamadaw can be built by fully utilizing the academic discipline one is good at. As it is found that modern military strategies have changed nowadays, personnel are required not to lose sight of modern wars.
All personnel have joined the Tatmadaw to perform national defence duties of the State out of their own volition without anyone who urged them to do so. If personnel lead lives correctly in self-control in the Tatmadaw, they will be able to make progress for their lives. Not to lose sight of one’s aims, one must abstain from drinking and seeking pleasures which can ruin one’s life. If one exercises selfcontrol conscientiously, this will contribute to progress in life. If personnel try to nurture good behaviours in themselves and perform duties in accordance with disciplines, their aims will be achieved. If individual personnel learn and act properly for their personal development and there are many outstanding personnel, it is beneficial for the Tatmadaw and the country.
