D-Day draws near for this year’s SANDF intake
NEARLY 3 000 young South Africans start basic training in two weeks time after signing up for a stint of service in the SANDF.
On January 8 and 9, 2 954 recruits will join the SANDF as part of the Military Skills Development System (MSDS) and start with basic training at various military bases across the country.
The SANDF’s Brigadier General Kefilwe Mathlbe said the aim of the MSDS was two-fold: to enhance the defence force’s mission readiness through the systematic rejuvenation of its staff complement and and to provide skills to enable young people to contribute to society.
“Subsequent to their basic military training, deserving MSDS recruits will be afforded an opportunity to choose training in specific careers. These include pilots, navigators, engineers, doctors, dentists, nurses, naval combat officers, divers, etc.”
Next month notices of the 2009 intake will be advertised nationally.
