New PNGDF soldiers 2016

New soldiers told to master skills

More than 75 new recruits who passed out from Goldie Training Depot have been challenged by PNGDF Chief of Force Preparations, Colonel Sialle Diro, to take their training aggressively as this is their lifetime skill.

Colonel Diro made this statement last Monday at the 1st Royal Pacific Island Regiment in Port Moresby.

The new soldiers will go into 12 weeks of their Initial Employment Training (IET). They now complete the Bravo Company of the 1st Royal Pacific Islands Regiment.
