![]() A PAPUA New Guinea Defence Force (PNGDF) officer has encouraged students to go for better or higher education qualification before joining the force. During the Central schools expo in Port Moresby last week, PNGDF’s Major Ezron Dekaetavara said it was important to give correct information to ensure interested candidates met the requirements before choosing their careers. “I would encourage you to have a qualification before enlisting in the military,” he said. Major Dekaetavara encouraged more than 300 students from seven secondary schools to obtain a diploma or degree in a technical field, business, science or other areas before enlisting. According to PNGDF, the career expo at Caritas Girls Technical School gave students the opportunity to ask about PNGDF and what to expect as a soldier.
Central Governor Robert Agarobe shared his experience during the Bougainville Crisis while working for a private helicopter company and encouraged students who were interested in joining the force to do their time and then leave. “Singapore has the youngest military,” he said. “I would want to see us having a system where every citizen is required to enlist to serve their number of years before they leave,” Agarobe said.
