A total of 228 Candidate Soldiers (CS) are undergoing a 16-week rigorous Basic Military Training at the 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division Training School (3DTS) at Camp General Macario Peralta Jr., in Jamindan, Capiz on June 8, 2022.
The training started after the members of the Candidate Soldier Course Class 725-2022 took oath at the grandstand of the Army’s 3ID.
Of the 228 CS, 151 are from 3ID; 30 from 3rd Installation Management Battalion, and 47 from 53rd Engineering Brigade, who came from the different parts of the region.
They will be taught with the basic foundations of soldiery and the Army’s core values as being the future defenders of the nation.
MGen Benedict M Arevalo, PA, the 3ID Commander led the oath-taking of the 228 CS.
In his message, MGen Arevalo commended the members of the CS Class 725-2022 for hurdling almost three-months of application phase.
Likewise, MGen Arevalo said that the 228 CS were chosen as the best among the thousands of aspirants who lined up to fulfill their dreams of becoming part of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
“Take the training seriously and always put your best in everything you do, and consider mistakes as part of the learning process to improve yourself and capabilities,” said MGen Arevalo.
