During the weekend, citizens of Nové Mesto nad Váhom familiarized themselves with the military voluntary training project at an event called Show What is in You! organized on the grounds of the M. R. Štefánik Secondary Grammar School. The event under the auspices of the SVK MOD was already the second in a series of events to support the concept of voluntary military training. The capacity of this year’s pilot project is 150 participants.
“The voluntary military preparation has been designed for those who would like to undergo a military training and obtain basic knowledge and skills necessary to perform tasks of the armed forces and the crisis management. By organizing a series of presentation events, we want to give people an opportunity to directly ask soldiers about anything in connection with the training they would like to know, as well as to test their physical fitness level,” briefed SVK Minister of Defence Martin Glváč.
The visitors observed static displays of wheeled vehicles, basic infantry and artillery weapons, tried out a climbing wall, assembly and disassembly of arms, and obtained a lot of interesting information. So far, approximately 400 citizens have expressed their interest in undergoing the voluntary military training, whereas the official selective procedure will be commenced during the following weeks. The graduates will finish the preparation as 2nd Degree Privates and will swell the ranks of the SVK Armed Forces reserves or active reserves. The event Show What is in You! will also be organized in other Slovak towns.
