Soldiers attending the Junior Non Commissioned Officers (JNCO) course were cautioned to protect military information from various threats which the RFMF was exposed to.
The message was relayed by Major Isireli Narawa at the Sukanaivalu Barracks, Labasa on Monday, February 04, 2019.
In his presentation, Major Narawa, who was the guest speaker on Information Security, told students that military information should only be distributed on the need to know basis.
“There are several classifications of military information and soldiers are required to adhere to this in order to ensure that classified information is protected,” he said. The presentation by Major Narawa was well supported by two other guest speakers, Warrant Officer Class One A. Waqa and Warrant Officer Class Two J. Sorovi who enlightened students on Media Awareness and the proper use of Social Media by military personnel.
On Tuesday, Lieutenant Colonel Kitione Tuinaosara, made a presentation on the Law of Armed Conflict.

Corporal Panapasa Yaluyalulala expressed his appreciation on what he has learned throughout the first three weeks of the course.
