Author: GHFUO BE MEAN TO FOREIGNERS! Posted: 2012-07-04 01:05:31 The First Infantry Battalion, which was once an enviable unit of the Ghana Armed Forces, is now in a very deplorable state.
Most facilities and structures have broken down due to lack of maintenance.
1BN STATE
Author: MR Kofi Mensah Posted: 2012-07-04 01:08:19 Is it not madness and stupidity to ask soldiers who have use their own moneies to create addional space for themselves because of inexperience and good for nothing Commanders who only think of thier pockets and families, so do nothing to support the government.You call this measures; the Lt Col is sabotaging the government.You talked about damage manholes, craked walls and white elephant MRS, yet move to create another lack of space is something good for you, if you have nothing to write about better put your pen in your dirty pocket.

Author: Aziz Posted: 2012-07-04 03:06:06 what has Lt Col Fred Ntri done about the problems he enumerated on assumption of office as commanding officer? officers are not placed in command to complain about problems, but to find solutions to them. if he can't solve problems then he is not fit to be in command, period. and this man hopes to become a full colonel soon? no wonder the popular saying is that the "old soldiers are gone with professional soldiering"

1BN Michel Camp....
Author: Suleiman Posted: 2012-07-04 03:12:09 NPP ruled for eight years without doing any renovations.Why did the Kufour Government import ammunition instead of using the money for the welfare of the soldiers and their families? The barracks should be fenced and secured.NDC must do it for them. Where is the budget for internal development? The officers in charge must answer.We should not eye only the Politicians.

GREEDY BASTARDS
Author: CONCERNED SOLDIER Posted: 2012-07-04 04:04:23 GREED,SELFISHNESS AND CORRUPTION IS KILLING THE GAF,ESPECIALLY THE GHANA ARMY WHERE THE OFFICERS ARE "TIN GODS".IT IS HIGH TIME THE GOV'T BRING EXTERNAL AUDITORS TO START AUDITING THE GAF SO THAT THOSE GREEDY BASTARDS WILL ACCOUNT FOR EVERY PESEWA OF THE TAX PAYERS MONEY.THE GAF IS THE MOST CORRUPT INSTITUTION IN GHANA.SOLDIERS ARE NOW BEING MADE TO CONTRIBUTE MONEY TO PAINT THEIR ACCOMODATION IN BURMA CAMP. BETTER GHANA INDEED..
Deteriorating Military Camps
Author: Ahesem Posted: 2012-07-04 04:04:54 Infact, Lt col Fred Ntri has taken a very bad first step in the solution of the congested barracks problems by ordering the poor soldiers who through individual efforts have tried to assist the Armed forces by using their own resources to create additional spaces for themselves. Lt Col Ntri should rather advise the soldiers to improve their structures to standard so that it could be maintained perminantly and stop attempting to demolish individual efforts. This will definitely depict that Lt Col Ntri is also doing so to create another space for sale to also enrich his pocket as Lt Col Ebo Gaisey the former CO 1BN did. Remember that the evil that men do will always live after them.
USELESS COMMANDER
Author: Jah Glory Posted: 2012-07-04 05:04:20 Lt Col Fred Ntri is an officer I thought have got a lot of potentials and as Intelligence Officer, should have been more responsible. I am surprise to hear that he is telling soldiers who have rather taken money from their scanty salaries to make extensions to their accommodations to house their families to remove them. What a shame to him as a new Commanding Officer of a Unit.
RE-1BN MICHEL CAMP DETERIORATING
Author: Osabarima Darko Posted: 2012-07-04 09:29:40 I believe the Minister of Defence, who is a retired General of the Armed Forces, is also reading this piece, and it is a disgrace to the nation. Soldiers swear the oath to lay down their lives for the nation, they are sent to peace-keeping operations - that sometimes turn to be peace-enforcement, but no government official, care about their accommodation, and the environment that they are sheltered in. This is very sad. I believe, this may be the tip of the ice-berg, since news men have not visited the Kamina Barracks, in Tamale and the rest. Something needs to be done without further delay. Soldiers are human-beings too and they deserve the best!
accountability
Author: Yaw-va Posted: 2012-07-04 09:44:24 So do we really have a leaders in the country all if any.Everything is crumbling before our very eyes.Politics in Ghana now is a business.Is a food fight,you go in a crab as much as you can,and walk away,no accoutability,politics is above the law.I do not believe of all the coruption going on,somebody is been hold to account and thereby place in prison.They know they can get away with anything,it is sad.

Author: yeeeeep. Posted: 2012-07-04 10:19:13 Did Rawlings rule Ghana for over twenty years on the back of the military ? . And yet , our military did not benefit from his rule ? . Instead ,he gave everything to his wife , the ugly duck ,on a silver platter ? Including institutions that the Osagyefo put in place ? . In my opinion , he neeeds to be shot , just like he did to those GENERALS , for his incompetence as a leader and lack of respsect for the very institution that propelled him to become who he is today . A LOUD MOUTH BASTARD .

Author: bongo soja Posted: 2012-07-04 10:35:42 where lies the care for soldiers? poor soldiers who live in the single qtr 4 18yrs, with 4 children managed to do extension to accommodate themselves and co thinks bcos he is capable of renovating the buildings on his own, so had ordered 4 destruction of the extension and backyard gardens .this is not fair to the OR corps bcos no offr will live in single qtr after 18yrs in service .What is good 4 the goose is good 4 the gander.
First Battalion lived in Huts before
Author: princewilly@ymail.com Posted: 2012-07-04 11:14:23 My Father was part of the first Battalion after it changed its name from the West African forces to Ghana Army in 1n 1959.
It was finally based in Takoradi and known as the Ranchi Barracks.
In the Ranchi Barracks,some of the soldiers lived in round huts.
In 1963 the Soldiers moved to Myohuang Barracks in Apremdu and gave the Barracks to the 6 Battalion.
I made a lot of friends as a student at the Myohuang Barracks Middle school but sadly in 1967 the soldiers moved to the Michel camp in Tema.
The second Battalion took over the Barracks and my father Anthony Agbeletey Number 74076 stayed with 6 Battalion but he retired.Finally the 6 Battalion moved to the Kamina Barracks at Tamale.
Kwame Nkrumah's Government is the best ever.
TO GHQ (DI). BURMA CAMP
Author: FROM 1BN Posted: 2012-07-04 11:21:26 THAT GREEDY ILLITERATE OFFICER MISTAKENLY BECAME A CO THERE AND DID NOTHING BUT GRABBING, GRABBING AND GRABBING. HE SOLD MICHEL CAMP LANDS TO BUY PORCH CARS AND BOUGHT A NEW ESTATE HOUSE ALONG THE TEMA - AKOSOMBO ROAD. BEFORE HE CAME TO THE UNIT HE DID NOT EVEN HAVE A PLOT BUT JUST AFTER THREE YEARS HE BECAME A MILLONAIRE.IF HE HAD CONTINUED FROM WHERE IS PREDECESSORS ENDED, PARTICULARLY LT COL AGYEKUM-YAMOAH, THAT UNIT WOULDN'T HAVE SUNK THIS LOW. EBO GAISIE WAS A GREAT DISSERVICE TO THE UNIT. HE WAS VINDICTIVE AGAINST BRILLIANT OFFICERS WHO HE SAW AS A THREAT. HE WAS AGAINST HIS OWN DEPUTY BECAUSE THE LATTER WOULDN'T AGREE WITH HIM ON HIS NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES. HE RATHER CHOSE TO FLOW WITH HIS RSM AND OTHER RANKS. BY THE WAY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE BOI CONCERNING HIS ILLEGAL SALE OF MICHEL CAMP LANDS ? GAF SHOULD NOT SWEEP THIS UNDER THE CARPET. THAT UGLY THIEF MUST BE SACKED WITH DISGRACE AND JAILED.

Author: Nagko Posted: 2012-07-04 13:13:43 the MIL of late is facing a lot of problems in terms of accomodation in ACCRA-TEMA areas.Soldiers and officers who are newly recruited really get confused as to whether to concentrate on looking for accomodaton or on security.is serious.all the same this govt has tried better for the soldiers than NPP.

A leader with communication problem
Author: concern soldier Posted: 2012-07-04 18:00:11 stop bordering the soldiers if you have no work to do, cut fence down to 4feet for what reason no one knows, remove your extensions for what reason no one can tell why. just dropping lingering resentment. aah ba we cant enjoy little peace in our own bks as soldier. call people for durbar for briefing.
Are soldiers in their appropriate qtrs?
Author: concern soldier Posted: 2012-07-04 18:14:24 Be proactive rather than being active. Did you border to findout why soldiers created those extension? one of your the responsibility you owe this soldiers is their welfare. A sgt. is in cpl qtr, even ssgt's in single qtr and u are happy with that, it does not speak well of you as a leader.
Where is our maintenance culture
Author: Ali Posted: 2012-07-04 21:26:34 Any time a battalion travels on peacekeeping operations, soldiers are made to to contribute towards the welfare of the unit and 1 battalion is no exception. What do the commanding officers do with this money? Can't the CO's use this monies to do minor maintenance at the unit levels? What's wrong with us?

Do a dual carrriage to ease traffic
Author: PA Posted: 2012-07-05 02:26:53 The road leading to Michel camp from the Tema motorway roundabout is so congested. Traffic virtually comes to a stand still most times. It is high time government consider having a dual carriage for link such an important institution like Michel camp with Accra.
