Speaking with students, Assoc.

It is also a very valuable experience that builds their knowledge and skills, shapes their attitudes, and improves their health while helping them better understand the military environment. Through this experience, they will further appreciate the values of life and understand the hardships and difficulties faced by soldiers who protect the nation’s borders and islands day and night.

Assoc.

This not only helps you mature but also develops many skills, good qualities, and solidarity. Strive to overcome difficulties and challenges through effort and determination. Embrace the spirit and pride that come with wearing a soldier’s uniform, and exemplify the conduct of Uncle Ho’s soldiers. I hope that these national defense and security education courses will help you better understand the responsibilities of each individual and citizen in fulfilling their duties to the country and their families.”
