The exercise was flagged off by the RCC Kampala Faridah Mayanja Mpiima who thanked the recruits for turning up in big numbers whenever UPDF call on them for recruitment. She told them that working with UPDF is offering a service, that if one has come with an intention of looking for a job she or he is in wrong place.

The RCC told them to be disciplined as they begin their professional journey and most especially at the training school.

She wished the recruits the best and asked them to be good servants to their motherland Uganda.
