As he declared the Senior Command and Staff Course 16 open on July 16, Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Chief of Staff Brigadier Godfrey Bess, challenged the officers pursuing the course to become critical thinkers by going beyond the assimilation of the materials presented in the training modules.
“You must apply yourselves not simply to digesting the materials presented in the taught modules, but also, to discovering the breath beyond your tuition. You must do that in order to be the quality of senior officers the GDF needs for its future development. You must therefore become critical thinkers. Learn to deconstruct ideas and concepts in order to gain the fruit of knowledge contained therein,” he urged, according to a report on the GDF Facebook page.
