First Infantry Division Public Affairs Officer Capt. Jefferson Somera said the CSCC-318-2013 has an original regular quota of 144 candidate soldiers but only 138 survived the rigors of the military training and discipline.

Somera said of the 138, 42 are college graduates, 62 college levels, 28 have vocational courses and 25 high school graduates but they proved to be deserving candidates possessing the skills required to qualify for enlistment.

We are expecting from you as your parents and relatives do, to perform your duty to the best of your ability. You are now a soldier of the people, serve them well.
