“I appreciate you because I have seen the zeal, courage and commitment with which you put in every aspect of military training."

“Why I always want to encourage this is because I want to also impart same to our own troops."

“Right from day one, you started with 74 Regular Recruit Intakes, I saw the difference it had made in the recruits,” he said.

Musa noted that young soldiers from the depot have been performing optimally “out there in the field.”

“Even the young soldiers said I should extend their regards to you, because you have made a lot of difference in their lives."
