For the news report “Short in Second lieutenant and ROTC standards loosed”, MND indicated (6th) that to encourage college boys serving in the military and reduce the administrative obstacles, MND wants no superimposed limits on recruitment. The standards were consistent as usual that apart from basic physical ability, intelligence quality and physical checks (including psychological status), the manner index was also a critical part to sharpen the quality of military members. All standards were explicitly listed as necessities of being an officer and no standard was loosed.

MND addressed that it was its strong stance to screen all recruits but also encourage passionate young men and women to choose a military career.
