I refer to the editorial (February 23) on the AFM's Emergency Volunteer Reserve Corps.

This association, in existence since 1972, that is the year when our regiment was disbanded, agrees with and supports every single word in the editorial.

There is nothing to beat a number of years during one's lifetime spent under military discipline - where one is taught how to keep mentally and physically fit, accepting hard work, be tolerant and respectful towards everyone and love one's country - for formation of the totally educated persona.

Yes, as you imply, both the AFM itself and the ministry of education need to consider putting more PR and investment into this valuable asset of the country.

Within the limitations available to it this association will support any initiative in this direction.
