Meeting with instructors: SAC Chairman met faculty members of DSA/DSTA

The Chairman of the State Administration Council Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing held a meeting with commandants of the Defence Services Academy and the Defence Services Technological Academy, senior officer instructors, officials and officers Thursday morning.

First, the Military Appointment-General Lt-Gen Lin Aung and Chief of Armed Forces Training Lt-Gen Zaw Myo Tin reported on the turning out of officers from DSA and DSTA within 20 years from 2000 to 2021, and the situation of their current in-service terms. In response to the reports, the Senior General said that trainees and graduate officers must control themselves to accomplish the missions and discharge assignments dutifully.

Instructors need to turn out qualified officers. They need to note down the knowledge to be done and which should be done when they would serve the one-step promotion. In reviewing the turning out of officers from 2000 to 2021, lecturing of literature and currently-served terms, some officers broke disciplines without self-control, inappropriate lifestyle and weakness of health, so they could not continue their service terms, leaving much loss to the State and the Tatmadaw.

As such, leaders must have a firm spirit and self-control for achieving goals. Instructors must strictly supervise the trainees and not give indulgence to the trainees as well as themselves. Those qualified instructors must turn out the leaders of the future applying their experiences.

Priority must be given to quality rather than quantity in turning out the trainees on whom the State and the Tatmadaw rely. Instructors from academies and training depots must give training to each junior leader to have basic spirit, concept, confidence, military skills and training and to become good leaders for the State and the Tatmadaw in the future upon completion of the training.
