They were not missing among them President of the Slovak Republic Peter Pellegrini and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense of the Slovak Republic Robert Kaliňák (Smer-SD). The solemn oath for the participants of the pilot training was presented by the best rated soldier of two -week primary training Vlastislav Čepo. “I will be honest, brave and disciplined soldiers. I am ready to defend freedom, independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity of the Slovak Republic and the inviolability of its borders.
Pellegrini pointed out that he brought situations every day when it was necessary to go to the limit of his physical and mental abilities. However, the training does not end with the composition of an oath. “The hardest thing is waiting for us, because from Monday to Tuesday we have the final training that will consist in the fact that we will survive in the open air somewhere in the woods and use all the skills and information we have learned throughout the training,” noted. He reiterated that, as a member of the nose, he would be ready to help Slovakia whenever necessary.
The Sunday composition of the oath confirmed the belief that it was right to undergo training. According to him, the hardest thing was to overcome its own borders. “Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I overcame a gorge, a quarry when I had to cut it hung on a rope, when I had to get back on the second rope through a gorge back when I had to dress in the camouflage with everything to jump into a mute lake, swim and learn various swimming tactics,” He explained that he has not missed any discipline yet. The public criticism and part of the political spectrum in connection with the participation in training does not understand.
Even before the oath, the present at Bradlo Hill honored the memory of General Mr Štefánik, who was born on July 21, 1880 in the nearby village of Košariská. “Štefánik is a man who intervenes all of our history, and in many moments it also serves as a model. I am therefore extremely proud that, as the first graduates of NOS training, we could take an oath to the mound, ”Pellegrini said.
Kalinak enjoys the public interest to be part of the nose. It talks about thousands who sent the registration form. “We have already managed to register more than six hundred and we are already preparing other tours for them,” made it clear. Due to limited capacities, it could take place from four to six tours by the end of this year. Therefore, after returning from training, he considers intensive work on the modernization and renewal of infrastructure in Martin, the construction of new facilities in the east of the Slovak Republic and the completion of the Turkish Hill.
The nose is divided into three types of advance. Operational advances are designed especially for people with army experience, such as former soldiers or people who have already passed some type of training Or they have undergone basic military service and know what they would do in the army. Army newcomers without experience could apply for emergency reserves. Within the structure of the nose, there are also military advances in which candidates can obtain training without obligation to bind backups. People will also receive a contribution and salary of a soldier in a given rank for training and other obligations. The Ministry of Defense also promised other benefits.
