..::January Goals::..

In the following days, you can expect us to:

1. increase activity in the military by keeping orders (both the Greasemonkey script and the National Defense Bulletin) up to date, and resuming use of the ePhilippines forums;

2. increase the size of the military by stepping up recruitment efforts, especially by the PMA;

3. set AFP internal policies (codes of conduct/rules and regulations (how much weapons to give per request, when not to give weapons, how to approve registration, etc.));

4. clearly define duties and responsibilities, and properly delegate powers and authority to commanding officers;

5. introduce a system of rewards and punishment for active personnel (e.g. extra weapons; decorations; medals; scholarship grants for Statecraft/Public Administration, Liberal Arts, and Journalism courses) and inactive personnel (e.g. reduced weapons, dishonorable discharge);

6. develop a full PMA curriculum, which will include a Basic Training Course, an Officer Training Course, and Basic and Advanced Military Strategy classes; and

7. more.

..:😃epEd and DPDA::..

So that my responsibilities in the DND-AFP will not interfere with my work as Secretary of Education and Secretary of Pan-Dimensional Affairs, I will delegate specific duties and responsibilities to my deputies and COs so that they know EXACTLY what they should and should not do without my approval.

Commanding officers, standby for further instructions.

As you were,

Ariel David Buena
Secretary of National Defense
