Friday, 14 December 2007
Chief Adviser (CA) Dr Fakhruddin Ahmed Thursday said, people heave a sigh of relief following the courageous role of the Armed Forces in building a corruption-and terrorism-free Bangladesh, reports UNB.
He made the remark while addressing the combined President Parade of Army, Navy and Air Force cadets at Bangladesh Military Academy (BMA) Parade Ground at Bhatiari in Chittagong.
Dr Ahmed hoped the newly commissioned officers of the Army, Navy And Air Force would remain ready, and make appropriate contributions through serving the nation, keeping abreast with the people, alongside safeguarding sovereignty and safety of the state.
He urged them to uphold the image of Bangladesh as a liberal, democratic, promising and peaceful country with a number of achievements and acclaim earned in the international arena.
This is for the first time that combined President Parade of the three services was held marking the passing out of cadets of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
The cadets of the three services completed their 2-year training courses at their respective training institutes. Cadets of 57th BMA Long Course and 28th BMA Special Course from the Army, cadets of Midshipmen 2006A batch from the Navy and cadets of 56th Flight Cadet course from the Air Force took part in the parade.
A total of 229 cadets, including 21 female, have been commissioned in the Armed Forces. Of them, 178 cadets, including 10 females from the Army, 21 midshipmen, including four females, from the Navy and 30 flight cadets, including seven females, from the Air Force joined the forces as commissioned officers.
The CA distributed awards to three all-round cadets from the three services. Battalion Senior Under Officer M Touhidur Rahman was awarded the coveted Sword-of-Honour laurel as the best all-round cadet in the 57th BMA Long Course.
Midshipman Yasir Hasnat got the Sword-of-Honour award for his best performance in all subjects of the Naval Academy. Flight Cadet Under Officer Mohammad Tanbir Adib was given the Sword-of-Honour award for his best performance in all subjects of the Air Force Academy.
Earlier, a guard of honour was given to the CA by a smartly turned-out contingent of cadets of the three services at the Parade Ground. The CA, flanked by three commanders of the three academies in an open jeep, reviewed the parade.
Dr Ahmed asked the newly commissioned officers to move ahead with determination keeping in mind that all members of the Armed Forces are sons of this soil and inseparable part of this country.
