TIRANA, Nov 10 /ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama said the 2027 defence budget would support the ongoing modernisation of Albania’s Armed Forces, enhance national security and ensure the country meets its commitments to NATO and its strategic allies.
Rama also posted footage from the daily activities of first-year Bachelor’s students and Officer Preparation Course trainees at the Soldiers’ Professional Training Centre in Bunavi, Vlora.
“Daily life shaped by discipline, training, dedication and responsibility, where each day marks another step towards preparing the future members of the Armed Forces,” Rama said.
For young people enrolled in the Officer Preparation Course at the Soldiers’ Professional Training Centre in Bunavi, Vlora, the transition from civilian to military life means much more than simply putting on a uniform; it involves changing the way they think and approach life.
“Making the transition from civilian to military life is an indescribable experience that pushes you out of your comfort zone and makes you more responsible, disciplined and stronger,” one of the female trainees said.
“The transition from civilian to military life is undoubtedly a process that affects everyone, not only professionally but also personally. For me, it has been a conscious choice that has strengthened my determination to put my personal integrity, skills and knowledge at the service of the Armed Forces, national security and the country’s territorial integrity,” another trainee said.
For young people choosing this career path, taking the initiative to enrol in the Officer Preparation Course brings a strong sense of pride and responsibility.
“Transitioning from civilian to military life through the Officer Preparation Course has been a new challenge for me. I have learned the importance of order and discipline, as well as teamwork. I am very happy to have been given the opportunity to come here and serve my country,” another trainee said.
