Gambia: President Jammeh Pledges More Educational Opportunities for Security ...

His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya Jammeh was speaking Wednesday evening at State House in Banjul while presiding over the piping and swearing in ceremony of 11 GAF officers who have been elevated to the ranks of Major, Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel respectively. The Gambian leader also pledged to send at least 25 members of the security apparatus each year, beginning from 2011, to university to study in relevant fields.

Momodou Alieu Bah, Salifu Bojang, Sait Njie, Essa Tamba, and Musa Trawally were elevated from the rank of Major to Lieutenant Colonel; whilst Dr Alkali Conteh, Malamin Jarju, Paul S Gomez, Paul Arthur Gomez, and Hina Sambou were promoted from the rank of Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel respectively. Meanwhile, the public relations officer (PRO) of GAF, Omar Bojang was elevated from the rank of Lieutenant to Major.

The officers, the third group to be promoted in less than two months, took six different oaths, swearing on the holy books according to their faiths. They pledged to always work towards the maintenance of the high standards of unity, progress, camaraderie and discipline in GAF, as well as allegiance and loyalty to the people, state, and their commander-in-chief.

The president in his words of wisdom reiterated that gone are the days when the armed security services of the country were a place of "dropouts and disgruntled elements in the society". He stressed that university education is not restricted to civilians, but also extends to the armed forces, declaring that the security apparatus will witness the births of doctors, scientists, philosophers, and so on.

"So don't say that I want to be a doctor, but if I join the army or the police I will not achieve that - No! As from now every year, we will send at least 25 members of the armed and security services to university to study in critical fields," the president disclosed, underpinning that this is inline with his objective of making sure that The Gambia is self-sufficient in all spheres.

The Gambian leader further averred that the objective is also among other things to change the perception on what it used to be up till recently to a more positive one. "As from today, it is no longer an army of dropouts, or disgruntled elements of society. In any security outfit you can become a doctor, a scientist, an engineer, and you can become anything you want as long as you have the knowledge and determination to pursue that. Under my command, you can start from zero in the armed forces and become the best scientist in the whole world as long as you have the determination," he assured.

Just run man, that’s what most poolee functions do, they PT. but since it’s winter, (depending on your location) they might just go over knowledge. For the most part, you just PT, sometimes in teams. check out my youtube page if you have any questions about enlisting in the Marines, i’m not a Marine yet but i can answer A LOT of questions.

Don’t worry about it. It is meant to teach you what to expect and get you in shape for recruit training. The reason you are going is to answer all those questions you have now.

Do you think you’ve earned that Eagle, Globe, and Anchor as an avatar? If so, run down to a tatto parlor and get one tattoed on your shoulder and make your DI proud of you.

!) is start eating healthy. Drink lot of water and healthy foods to try to purge any nastyness that u might have. No more fast food, chips, etc. stick to oatmeal, grilled chickens, tuna, steak (if its lean) beans, etc.. just research it. Lot will come up. Drink water. When we do harsh activities in the fleet, we pre hydrate and pre eat. U dont wanna wake up the day of a hike or a run and eat breakfast and pound water, youll throw up. We drink lot of water the night before, and eat healthy a few nights before. Your body will run off what you ate the night/2 nights before, not what u ate that morning. Make sure u eat something lighte in the morning of the function to put something in ur tummy like a banana , fruit or a bagel. No dairy the day of, it can make u throw up depending on what their gonna do. Also stretch. U can workout if u want, but a week of running vs a week of stretching: if i had to do just 1, id take the stretching. Lot of people underestimate the value of being well stretched. It really helps.

2) Start going over knowledge. USMC rank structure, general orders, key leadership traits, etc.. youll be surprised how much u can learn in a week with proper study techniques.

Hopefully youll get fun pool functions like i used to get. For our functions, we did stuff like go to a range and shoot ak’s, m4′s, garands, shotguns, etc.. or visit the USMC Museum in Quantico.
