Radrodro says cadet training teaches students important values such as honesty, discipline and a sense of responsibility.
He adds that cadet training is also a tool for instilling self-discipline, moral values, integrity and respect for others.
The Minister also acknowledged the dedication and commitment of the Instructors from the 3rd Fiji Infantry Regiment Training Team who had guided the cadets through their training for the past few weeks laying the foundation for the Pass out Parade
