CAMP SANG-AN, ZDS – A new normal Open Collar Ceremony or Recognition Rites for the trainees of the 1st Infantry (TABAK) Division, Training School was held here Wednesday.
The usual event that used to be attended by the families, friends and relatives of the Candidate Soldiers was set aside due to Covid-19 disease.
Col. Jonathan Obena, the commandant of 1st Division Training School during his message expressed the revised open collar ceremony and importance of health of trainees in order to survive and soon serve the country.
The opening of collar is a military tradition where trainees are granted limited privileges and be recognized for what they have overcome or conquered during training.
“We strictly enforce and follow the protocols. Likewise, we will not risk the health of our trainees and their instructors just for a day”, said Col. Obena.
“We all know that Family Day for the trainees is important for them to gain strength and boost their morale to persevere, but we have to distance ourselves, and avoid the deadly invisible enemy”, he added.
The Candidate Soldier Course Class 622- 2020 is composed of 228 Male and 13 Female trainees.
Their training started last March 17 and is expected to graduate 3rd week of July.
