In the barracks “National Hero Milan Tepić” in Jakovo, Commander for Development of Belgrade Brigade Colonel Mirsolav Stefanović handed badges and letters of thanks to the soldiers and told them that owing to the adopted knowledge and skills they became “fully capable to continue their professional advancement as professional members of the Serbian Armed Forces”.
- It is my particular pleasure to see off a group of young people who have completed their voluntary military service. It is a group which discharged its tasks rather responsibly and I am glad that in our country there are still extremely good and young people who in a disciplined, responsible and reliable manner execute quite complex tasks characteristic of the Serbian Armed Forces. The military service is useful, because it will certainly help the young in overcoming the troubles and difficulties of life more easily. One part of these young people already intends to continue working in the units of the Serbian Armed Forces as professional soldiers, and the message to the rest of them is that they can apply for the open competition since with the knowledge which they have acquired here and with their skills they are fully capable of continuing their professional advancement as professional members of the Serbian Armed Forces – Colonel Stefanović said.
Soldier Marko Vučković from Lebane, undergraduate ABD of the Faculty of Law, applied for voluntary military service because he wanted to continue family tradition. – I wish to join the Serbian Armed Forces as a professional soldier. Here, I have gained friends for life, the experience was excellent, the training as well and I would recommend all young people to apply for the military service – Vučković said.
The same message was sent by soldier Dejan Vemić from Belgrade, undergraduate ABD of the Faculty of Economy.
- In my family everybody is a member of the Serbian Armed Forces so I wish as well to pursue the carrier in that institution. During the military service, there were both easy and difficult moments, but I would definitively recommend this experience to everybody – Vemić highlighted.
At the farewell ceremony, the soldiers in the Army units expressed their emotions and joy bidding farewell to their yesterday’s commanders and friends from the military.
The Commander of the 15th Tank Battalion in the barracks “Boško Palkovljević Pinki” in Sremska Mitrovica, Colonel Borislav Krnjajić, thanked the soldiers for their effort and self-sacrificing work pointing out that the soldiers gave their full contribution to the execution of all the tasks that the unit was faced with. Soldiers Nemanja Petrović and Nemanja Đurić will continue their professional path among the lines of the Serbian Armed Forces, by applying for the posts of professional soldiers primarily because they feel good in military collective where, as they say themselves, everything is organised in a right way, and they like the camaraderie among the soldiers.
