During the six-month training, the recruits will be adapted to the basic values of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces apart from undergoing basic military training.

The men recruits had already been assigned to the various units of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces.

Some 140 recruits are now working with the land force, five recruits at the air force and four with the service force. Not one recruit was assigned to the navy due to the unavailability of post.
