   Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, inspected Unit 236 for Training Recruits of the Air Force of the KPA. He received a salute from commanding officers of the unit. Going round technical lecture rooms, he learned in detail about how education is conducted. He set forth the tasks to be tackled by the unit, expressing great satisfaction over the fact that it is giving effective education by manufacturing modern visual aids-based practice equipment by itself so that the recruits may effectively acquire basic special technique.
    Then he paid deep attention to the service and living of the servicepersons, going round a servicepersons' hall, a library, an education room, a bedroom, a mess hall, a non-staple food store, a foodstuff processing room, a laundry, and other entertainment, educational and supply service facilities.
    As the period to be spent by recruits is very important because it means the beginning of their military service, it is necessary to properly conduct training and education to suit the period and, at the same time, pay a special attention to their living. He highly appreciated the laudable feats performed by the servicepersons of the unit, noting that the unit founded and led by President Kim Il Sung has achieved many successes in training reserves by devoting all wisdom and enthusiasm in the past. He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the unit.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong and Vice Department Director of the WPK Central Committee Hwang Pyong So.
