Reducing 3 Years to 1
One day when the building of regular armed forces was under way with vigor, President Kim Il Sung visited in person the Central Security Officers School.
There was a good reason why he visited it before all urgent affairs.
At that time, some people asserted that as it took at least 3 years to train military cadres in other countries, it was natural for our country to follow the precedent examples.
That was why he managed to find time to rectify their wrong views.
That day, having heard different opinions of the teaching staff, he said that we should set the period of military education in keeping with the actual conditions as our country had just been liberated. He added that we should not follow the leisurely examples of 3 or 4 years in other countries, but reduce the training period to 1 year so that we could train military cadres at the earliest date who were urgently needed for the building of regular revolutionary armed forces as required by the prevailing situation.
Under the scrupulous guidance of the President, the sons and daughters of common workers and peasants were able to grow up to be fine military commanders in a short span of time.
