Interview: Col. Makoto Toyoda, Commander, Zama Chutonchi, JGSDF
Every year, each JGSDF installation celebrates members of the JGSDF who turned 20 by having a ceremony like this. This way we can celebrate their coming of age day and at the same time it gives them the responsibility of being an adult and hopefully that would encourage them to push forward with their daily work.
Narration:
During the ceremony Col. Toyoda and guests including Sergeant First Class Sherri Queen from U.S. Army Garrison Japan gave a congratulatory speech. After the luncheon they planted cherry trees with leaders from their units
Interview: Leading Private (E4) Ikumi Hase, Japan Ground Self-Defense Force
As I transition into adulthood I am also promoted to the next rank so I would like to commit myself to be more responsible at work as well as during my private time.
Interview: Pfc. Atsushi Ogawa, Japan Ground Self-Defense Force
I have the same goal as a member of the JGSDF and as a civilian, as I transition into adulthood. I use to be a bit immature so I would like to conduct my life more properly and be a responsible adult.
