Brigadier Richard Debrah, Director-General of Joint Operations of the Ghana Armed Forces, on Friday cautioned military personnel against negative behaviours and attitudes that could bring them into conflict with the civil society and the law. He was addressing the passing out parade of 151 recruits of the Air Force Recruit Course 1/2007 at the Takoradi Air Force Station. The recruits had undergone six months intensive training at the Air Force Training School at Takoradi. Brigadier Debrah said tendencies that members of the Armed Forces had to guard against included unsolicited civil police duties, performing land guard duties, debt collection for individuals, acting as arbitrators in family feuds and extortion of money from civilians. He said one incident that brought the military into disrepute in recent times was the alleged attack on students of the Takoradi Polytechnic by five military personnel. Brigadier Debrah said the five military personnel had faced the full rigours of military discipline, adding that, "The military does not entertain miscreants and as such the Air Force will not countenance any act of indiscipline". He told the recruits to be "wary of miscreants who may wish to use you as pawns to perpetrate their own selfish interests and you must act swiftly by reporting them through the appropriate chains of command". Brigadier Debrah urged them to give of their best to the Armed Forces and the country in whatever capacity they found themselves and always live above reproach. Air Commodore Michael Samson-Oge, Takoradi Air Force Station Commander, administered the oath of allegiance to the recruits. Recruit Daniel Effah was adjudged the overall best recruit. Recruit Collins Ohene-Gyan received the awards for tactics, field craft and academics while recruit Emmanuel Asubonteng, who was the parade commander, was adjudged the best in drill and Recruit Mumuni Memunatu, best in weapon training.Source: GNA
