The purpose of the pre-retirement training is to prepare retirees for smooth transition to civillian life. UPDF leadership invites consultants and experienced technical personnel to give lectures of opportunity to officers and men who are retiring.

Gen Muhoozi,while speaking to retirees,commended them for offering distinguished service to the army and their country. He informed them that when you join the army you serve and retire honourably reminding them that before you retire, you go through a process.

He advised retirees to manage their time well bearing in mind that there are alot of temptations in society outside military adding that, they should maintain high degree of discipline, be our good ambassadors,be organised and law abiding citizens.

He cautioned them against associating with unproductive peers “when you get a good peer, you will thrive” said Gen Muhoozi.
