Message for those who are interested to apply to be an entertainment soldier:
I feel that being an Entertainment Soldier is a very meaningful job as it help relieve comrades who are tired working for the country as well as for comrades who are at the frontline carrying guns to protect their country. If you wish to have this honour and pride, please come forward to take up this challenge.
