155 new Marine conscripts are first cohort in years to have one-year service

Back in 2013, compulsory military service was shortened to just four months, but now military service has been extended back to one year. Despite this change, new conscripts report that they’re ready for the myriad challenges they’ll be facing in training, and Marine Corps’ leadership is implementing a holistic approach that’ll meet the physical and psychological needs of conscripts.
Compulsory military service has been extended back to one year, and the first batch of soldiers reported for boot camp at the Marine Corps’ training center in Pingtung County. This cohort of conscripts has 155 young men, who early in the morning came to the training center with civilian bags in their hands. They’ll be training here for eight weeks.
Shih I-le
New conscript
I’m happy to be able to train here and keep working hard at improving.
Chiang Shih-hsiang
New conscript
By coming here I’ll be able to get stronger physically.
They came to this camp with their regular hairstyles, but they’re now sporting fresh buzz cuts. The military service has been extended from four months back to one year, and the new system’s first batch of marine conscripts are ready for any challenges coming their way. And the officers are more than prepared to make sure these new conscripts feel at ease during training.
Chiang Po-chien
Training center drill sergeant
I’ll be upholding our principles of being patient, empathetic, and compassionate towards conscripts, which we’ll implement through our educational training and counseling. We’re looking to ensure these conscripts will be able to acclimate themselves to troop life as soon as possible so that they can be fully focused during boot camp. Over the length of the courses we’ll be teaching, we’ll separate conscripts into groups to have classes on risk management. We want these men to have safe trainings, and we’ll have strict, but not severe, standards for them when they’re completing all the educational training we’ve prepared for them.
Miao Chi-min
Training center company commander
For this eight-week boot camp, we’ve divided it into four phases of training. The first phase is for soldier’s core values and battle fitness; the second phase includes rifle shooting and training courses for swimming; the third phase is battle training; and the fourth phase is integrated battle training. We hope that through this step-by-step approach that we’ll be able to make every one of these trainees a qualified infantry soldier.
Despite mandatory military service being re-extended to one year, it seems that both conscripts and their officers are ready to shape soldiers who are both physically and mentally strong.
