Female petty officer candidates, who receive all their training equally with male petty officer candidates, are prepared for the challenges they will encounter in the field in addition to their theoretical training. Gendarmerie Lieutenant Özlem Gören, who works at the Gendarmerie and Coast Guard Academy to train female petty officers, provided information about female petty officer candidates. Touching on the difficulties that female petty officer candidates experience during training, Gendarmerie Lieutenant Özlem Gören said, “When they first start the academy, just like male candidates, they may experience certain difficulties because they come to a different environment from civilian life during the adaptation training period. After they get through this initial adaptation phase, our candidates are given all the necessary training to strengthen them physically and psychologically. If you are doing a job that you love, believe in and are dedicated to, nothing is difficult. Gendarmerie is much more than a profession; while for some it is a part of life, for us it is life itself.” “We are women who are inspired by history and shaping the future” Stating that female non-commissioned officers serve under all conditions and in every region, Gendarmerie Lieutenant Gören said, “We are women who are inspired by history and shaping the future. We are everywhere to serve our nation under the shadow of our flag and under the laws. Female non-commissioned officers serve everywhere in our country in public order, combating smuggling, traffic, crime scene investigation, intelligence, combating terrorism, in the east, in the west, at home and abroad.” After one year of training, candidates graduate with the rank of sergeant Major Noting that the training is standard, Lieutenant Gören said, “Following the one-month orientation training, students who complete the basic training phase undergo academic education and then take an 8-week counter-terrorism course in İzmir Foça. After this course, they are sent on internships to internal security units. Students see the training and practices they receive firsthand. At the end of their one-year training, they graduate with the rank of sergeant major.” “Names have no importance in our profession” Noting that there is no difference in the training that female and male non-commissioned officer candidates receive and that names have no importance in their professions, Gören said, “Names have no importance in our profession. There are brave Mehmets as well as brave Ayşes in this organization, there is absolutely no distinction between women and men in the training our non-commissioned officers receive. Heroism has no gender.” “The number of female personnel in our organization is increasing every year” Gören, who reported that the number of female personnel in the Gendarmerie organization is increasing every year, said, “The Gendarmerie General Command recruits 10 percent of the total number of officers and non-commissioned officers every year. The number of female personnel in our organization is increasing every year. Anyone who wants to live this life, taste this rightful pride and take part in our organizations can apply to the exams opened by the Gendarmerie and Coast Guard Academy.” “If we are given a duty in Operation Peace Spring, as the grandchildren of the Nene Hatuns who made a name for themselves, we are also ready for duty” Emphasizing that they are ready if given a duty in “Operation Peace Spring” which has been launched east of the Euphrates, Gendarmerie Lieutenant Özlem Gören stated the following: “If we are given a duty in Operation Peace Spring, as the grandchildren of the Nene Hatuns who made a name for themselves. Although our bodies are here, our souls and prayers are in Operation Peace Spring, my valuable commanders and valuable comrades-in-arms who are currently serving in this operation across the border should not forget that; you are the eye that sees the enemy, the hand that pulls the trigger, the unbending wrist, the sadness, the joy but also the always pride of this great state and heroic nation. May Allah make victory triumphant for our country, worthy of this pride.” #news #breakingnews #agenda ================================== Ihlas News Agency Official Website ► http://www.iha.com.tr Ihlas News Agency Social Media Addresses ► / iha.com.tr ► / ihacomtr ► / ihacomtr ► https://plus.google.com/+ihatr_ihacomtr/ About Ihlas News Agency http://www.iha.com.tr/hakkimizda.html To reach Ihlas News Agency ►http://www.iha.com.tr/hakkimizda.html
