Staff Major General Pilot Sheikh Ahmed bin Tahnoun Al Nahyan, Chairman of the National and Reserve Service Authority, has ordered easing of the registration procedures for an Emirati woman interested to join the national and reserve service.
Earlier Emirati woman, Wa'd Al Hammadi, who applied to register at the Al Nahyan Camp in Abu Dhabi, was declined when her guardian, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Khalifa Hospital to receive treatment, failed to show up. However, the conscription division team accompanied her to the Khalifa Hospital to get an approval from the guardian, being a condition for Emirati women to join the national service.
Al Hammadi said she was the only among her seven sisters who decided to join the service, adding that she encourages her sisters and other Emirati women to join the national service- being a national duty and allegiance to the leadership. Al Hammadi is looking forward to servicing in the Armed Forces after completing the national service.
Her father, Yousif Al Hammadi, thanked those in charge of the national service, saying "The joining of our sons and daughters to the national service, is the least we can give to this giving nation." He expressed his pride about the decision of his daughter to join the first batch of the national service, wishing that he would join if he was well.
