It didn’t take long to respond quickly, “We do, Om Tentara (Soldier).” While cutting their hair, the Soldiers also conducted Social Communication to incorporate Pancasila values into the implementation of their daily lives. The children responded enthusiastically to the presentation by listening carefully and responding spontaneously when asked.
