Pure nonsense, if they have not qualified to enter into the army, you are still making suggestions of taking them on board. If at this stage they are already organising demonstrations (if that’s true that is), what would they do next when recruited? That is to say if doctors who fail to qualify are still not given the chance to practice, they might end up as fake practitioners? Did their lawyers representing them, qualified at all?

When you underestimate the danger and threats of an indiscipline bloodthirsty person with some military training and access to arms then you are inviting doom.

The military work is not easy as they thank, so if you know u can't do it don't attempt to enter. You must secrefice your life for it. Next time don't buy the forms. Good for sacking them.

Dear citizens of Ghana,
I take this opportunity to enlighten you on went really went on at the training camp, there was no sort of demonstration. I repeat THERE WAS NEVER A DEMONSTRATION. It all started with our leader who was part of the previous batch of recruits but due to some medical complications could not complete his training, so was reffered to our batch. He oneday gathered us and fed us with the information that the way we were being treated was not the right way and that it was not the same way they were treated during their training. We all agreed With him because he has been there before.
so on that fateful night he called us all around 2 am and told us that we should dress in our black trousers and white long sleeve attire, that we were going to meet our RMS (recruit sergeant major) on the square because he had some advice for us. Some of the recruits obliged while others did not go. So they went and stood on the square awaiting their RSM, the RSM came out and asked what was going on and he the senior recruit (adjei kwame emmanuel) told the RSM that we said the training was too difficult so we wanted to go home, which was not true at all.
this was what took place, so if anyone is to blame then the senior man must be blamed. He caused all these.
Left to me alone, the training is not difficult, the only thing I would say is difficult is how they were beating us, but we were managing because we know what we were up to.
I also take this opportunity to pleade on our behalf that we be reinstated into the training programme because we were just victims of circumstance it was through no fault of ours. Thank you.

The recruitment process is porous, full of criminals. There was no proper screening all they know is to collect money from poor individuals before enlistment.

GAF has made a good decision but at the same time bad because since this recruits have been sacked you know the crime rate is going to increase in the country and unemployment issues i think GAF has not been fair because i dont think all the 500 recruits sacked went for the DEMO and what is the President who is the chief commander of GAF doin about this situation; i think the President and GAF must think about this issue and solve it very well before it get out of hands. THIS NOT FAIR and those supporting take it as if your brother/sister is part of the sacked recruits wil you be happy about it???

Where actually is this common sense that all the 500 people did demonstration asking to be sent home? Even that u tink we can't ask for what wrong to be changed? Its over 5000 lives affected because we have parents, siblings, relatves, friends & future family not just 500 recruits. Keep covering the curruption & connivals at the top & say such chuffs.

Folks,We not know that the 500 solders did not abandon their post or refuse training because it difficult as we were told earlier on but we were told their were fired.This is what Dr Bawumia keep talking to Ghanaians about that Mahama will fired millions of workers to please his thinking masters both IMF and The World Bank.The 400 teachers BNI pick them up for possessing fake certificate is baseless is just part of scheme like what happen to the 500 solders to fired workers as Dr Bawumia predicted,And if you are a fool to love NDC that yourselves and family and don't care sleep on street and go without food for months then vote for our imbecile president John Dramani Mahama and if you want your destiny change and enjoy your NHIS and School Feeding program which benefit you by alleviate some of bearding and worries even get sick and food for your wards then your destiny is in your hands vote Mahama out.

So are you telling us that should one or two soldiers commit a crime, you are are going to fire their whole batch for the wrong doing? and do you think a recruit would actually want to go home after two months in training school? you did not do ur investigations well.

The recruits were only two months old on ground and they don't really know much of the military law ....now my question is this,were they taught military law at all?,if not then that means what the officials are saying that they caused *mutiny* Is not known to them and GAF has taken this issue as if It's a world cup match meanwhile majority of them might not even head of that word *mutiny*before and they were not taught military law too so how then can they know that what Their leader Planned for some of them to do is good or bad ?___there is no way they can know that ......This issue has to be dealt with seriously because some are surely innocent .....they just has to rule out those that took part out because they are not matured at the training ground____Because This our Politics so you lead them Home_____Mr.Prez, must do something about this because they have come a long ways thus since 2014 till 2015 before they had the chance .Govt must react to this guys.

we did not demonstrate against any training u better be careful what ever u say. when we reveal the truth u will know what I'm talking about. we were taught not to fix out our colleagues when they go wrong but suffer the consequences together as soldiers. the reason being that when an enemy capture u on the battle field u should die hard n not reveal where your colleagues are. we(the recruits) are being mute because we are sticking to this principle. when we finally come out with the whole story and the truth, some of u will be ashamed of yourselves and the loose comments u are making.
