22-230822 Incorporation

At dawn on 22 and 23 August, the gates of the Royal Military Academy swing open to welcome the new students of the 162nd Promotion in Social and Military Sciences and the 177th Promotion in Polytechnics. Together with them, the candidate officers of the auxiliary cadre and the Special Division walk into the school. A quick wave to their loved ones and then - one recruit more confident than the next - the new batch of 'tomorrow's leaders' enter a still unknown world. This year, Prince Gabriel is one of the new candidate officers and following in the footsteps of his sister Elisabeth, he will be studying Social and Military Sciences. The Prince, like his fellow students, will literally and figuratively shed his civilian clothes to put on a military uniform for the first time. From now on, these young people will no longer be 'Mrs X' or 'Mr Y', but 'soldier X or Y'. "The following weeks will not be difficult, but they will be tough", warns lieutenant-colonel Vanhavermaet - commander of the bachelor years - the students. "Maybe not an easy choice, but here bonds are forged for life and that is definitely worth it!" After two days of administration and lessons such as 'military values' or 'initiation drill', all kinds of briefings and an hour of trying the military uniform, the young people leave for Elsenborn in the East Cantons for a six-week military initiation phase. The start of their military life. They learn basic skills such as shooting and map-reading and receive individual physical training. If they successfully complete these six weeks, the new recruits will proudly join the Royal Military Academy. Attention, good luck and don't give up is the message.
