    Praising the unit for having displayed a variety of educational materials at the above-said establishments and conducted political and ideological education to suit soldiers' level of education, preparedness and mentality, he urged the unit to train all its servicepersons as vanguard fighters of the revolution firmly equipped with a high level of revolutionary consciousness and working class awareness so that they may become young heroes in the era of Songun who ardently love the country and readily dedicate their youth and lives to it like hero Ri Su Bok.
