The Armed Forces have developed outstanding health and training programmes for recruits, a seminar on national service held in Fujairah on Monday said.
The meeting was organised by the media bureau at the Fujairah Ruler’s court and Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, president of the General Women’s Union, was a speaker.
She said: “We are preparing the new batches to enter the battlefield of national and military service under a healthy umbrella that prevents injuries and fractures and ensures safe muscle and body building.”
Sheikha Fatima added that authorities were also working on a moral support unit to prepare recruits to face any possible psychological problems.

Tailors and retailers miss out on back-to-school rush
Tailors and retailers across the city said it was an ominous start to what is usually a busy season for sales.
With many parents opting to continue home learning for their children, the usual rush to buy school uniforms was muted this year.
“So far we have taken about 70 to 80 orders for items like shirts and trousers,” said Vikram Attrai, manager at Stallion Bespoke Tailors in Dubai.
“Last year in the same period we had about 200 orders and lots of demand.
“We custom fit uniform pieces and use materials such as cotton, wool and cashmere.
“Depending on size, a white shirt with logo is priced at about Dh100 to Dh150 and shorts, trousers, skirts and dresses cost between Dh150 to Dh250 a piece.”
A spokesman for Threads, a uniform shop based in Times Square Centre Dubai, said customer footfall had slowed down dramatically over the past few months.
“Now parents have the option to keep children doing online learning they don’t need uniforms so it has quietened down.”
