The military council has been recruiting conscripts since May and has now reached the 8th week. It is understood that the military training will not start until mid-December as the 8th week of conscription has arrived, and the required number of new recruits has not been obtained.
Normally, the military training that started in May 2024 usually starts in the first week of each month. The latest is the second week. Now it has entered the third week and has not started. There are not enough people in the whole country. Therefore, conscription is being carried out all over the country. Previously, conscription was only carried out in rural areas. Then, conscription is being carried out on intercity roads. Now, conscription is being carried out in major cities such as Nay Pyi Taw and Mandalay.
At the end of the month, the Yangon Region General Office under the Military Council of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar has made it mandatory for all young people aged 18 to 35 to serve in the national defense, and these young people are required to serve in the military for the defense of the country, and they are required to do so in any place, Since it has been announced that conscription (portering) is in line with the Civil Service Law at any time, portering may soon be possible in Yangon. Young people are gradually running away.
