Among recruits, those with health condition classes 1 and 2 account for 61.69%; those holding high school degrees, 68.58%; and university and college graduates, 8.49.

* On the morning of March 6, remaining provinces in Military Region 4, namely Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Tri, held ceremonies to send their youths to military units, meeting 100% of the targets. The ceremonies were held in a solemn and quick fashion with close coordination among responsible agencies.

Previously, provinces of Thanh Hoa, Quang Binh, and Thua Thien-Hue also handed over their youths to military units. As a result, in two days, March 5-6, Military Region 4 received 10,008 youths and allocated them to relevant units in the whole military region. Of the enlistees, 72.2% have health condition classes 1 and 2; 5.2% are university and college degree holders; 16.7% are ethnic minorities; and 6.6% follow one religion.
