          MAJOR GENERAL PETER ANGELO L RAMOS, the 57^th Commander, bowed out from the military service after almost 40 years of rendering selfless service to the country and reaching the mandatory retirement age.

          “Similar to those who retired before me, I have mixed feelings about my retirement.

I consider this retirement day of mine as a day of memories and a day of thanks.” MGEN RAMOS accentuated in his retirement message.

          LTGEN BRAWNER congratulates and commends the former TRADOC Commander for his contributions to the betterment of Pangkat TRADOC. “The significance of training in the Philippine Army cannot be over-emphasized. Countless hours of rigid training have greatly enabled our servant soldiers to respond accordingly to the rapidly changing contingencies of the battlefield giving our troops the decisive edge over our adversaries to fulfill their mission and return unharmed,” LtGen Brawner stressed in his message.

          Strict protocol of IATF were strictly followed during the entire activity.
