He charged them to put in their best in the course of their duties as the new rank called for more focus, more dedication, commitment and passion.
He advised those who were not fortunate this promotion year to keep faith alive and hope for the best as opportunities still abound for promotion in the future.
The Corps Marshal promised to improve the general welfare of the officers and men of the Corps to the satisfaction of all.
