CAMP PERALTA, Jamindan, Capiz – A total of 124 candidate soldiers were received by the Army’s 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division through an Opening Ceremony and reception rites on Tuesday, August 10, 2021.

MGen Eric Vinoya, Commander, 3ID, led the opening of the training of aspiring soldiers who composed the Candidate Soldier Course (CSC) Class 668 – 2021.

The aspirants will undergo 3 months rigid Candidate Soldier Course (CSC) and another 3 months Infantry Operations Course (INFOC) that will be handled by the training staff of the 3rd Division Training School (3DTS).

The training will instill discipline among candidate soldiers and make them adept in military doctrines, policies, and Standing Operating Procedures (SOPs). They will also learn basic weapons and Army Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTPs) to prepare them to perform duties in the Infantry Squad. The training will also transform them into reliable, responsive, and committed enlisted personnel of the Philippine Army.

These selected aspirants successfully passed the strict and meticulous selection processing standard set by the Philippine Army. They went through competitive Physical, Medical, Neurological and Psychological examinations.

In his message, MGen Vinoya congratulated the CSC Class 668- 2021 for their first success – passing the rigorous military selection process.

MGen Vinoya likewise reminded them to expect challenges that will test their limits in the next 6 months.

“This training will be difficult and rigorous; however, you must bear in mind that you have chosen this path for a reason. In times of uncertainties and doubts, always go back to that reason and live one day at a time,” MGen Vinoya said.

Moreover, the 3ID Commander challenged the aspirants to uphold their oath to serve the country and people.

“Uphold that oath, start strong, and finish strong! Emerge as soldiers embodying Excellence, Commitment, and Victory, and you will become genuine Spearhead Troopers, ready to serve our people in Western and Central Visayas,” Vinoya added.
