Popular Post webfact Posted June 25 Popular Post Share Posted June 25 The Fourth Army Region recently dispelled rumours about compulsory deductions from conscripts' salaries for commemorative shirts and rings, clarifying that these items are optional and not enforced. The army made it clear that such purchases are at the discretion of individual conscripts and have no bearing on official military policies. An official statement on the Fourth Army Region's Facebook page addressed concerns that conscripts in Thailand’s southern border provinces were being unfairly charged for these items. The statement reaffirmed that the army has no policy mandating the production or sale of commemorative rings or shirts for active-duty soldiers. Some conscripts have expressed a desire for such items as souvenirs, and training units have merely facilitated these requests. However, commanding officers have not authorised any associated costs, making these purchases purely voluntary. Essential personal items provided to conscripts by training units are strictly minimal. Currently, new conscripts are focused on their regular training, which includes specific military courses. They have not yet reached the stage of training where leave and visits home are permitted. The Fourth Army Region's commander has long been committed to the rights and welfare of all military personnel, ensuring that unit commanders at all levels uphold these principles. Strict policies are in place to improve the quality of life for soldiers and their families, and any breaches of conduct or corruption will result in severe penalties. The public is advised to critically evaluate their sources of information. Inaccurate reports contribute to unnecessary worry and misunderstanding. For reliable updates, individuals are encouraged to contact the Fourth Army Region directly at 0-7538-3405 or follow their official Facebook page. "The Fourth Army Region does not have any policy regarding the production or procurement of commemorative rings and shirts for active-duty soldiers," the statement concluded.

Stryk-er bargain!! Oh don't worry, no conscript is likely to get anywhere near one of those, far too politically unreliable. More likely one of these: Edited June 25 by herfiehandbag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
