He said that a career in the military is honourable and challenging, requiring a commitment to improve and excel in every aspect.

Touching on RBAF's 45`h Birthday this year, the guest of honour highlighted that it has seen many developments, including in weaponry and management of personnel through IT.

He also highlighted peace missions abroad, such as in Mindanao and Aceh, as well as the delivery of humanitarian aid for tsunami victims last year. "

This, he added, proves that RBAF increasingly has capabilities to provide its services for upholding or preserving the peace and prosperity of the nation as well as in the region.

The 132nd intake will start their six-month basic military training from October 29 at the Penanjong Garrison Training Institute in Tutong.
