Forbach: The careers of high school students are taking shape at the defense and internal security forum

For the third time, the Jean-Moulin high school in Forbach organized a defense and internal security forum with the presence of soldiers, police officers, and firefighters. The objective is to inform high school students and above all to create vocations. We were there this Friday, May 29.

Sound No. 1 – The careers of high school students are taking shape at the defense and internal security forum

The goal is to interest the youngest so that they can actually take over the profession behind us.

To achieve this goal, the Lieutenant Matthieu Schmitt, from the Forbach fire brigade operational unitas well as defense institutions such as the police, represented by Peggy Fregiste, deputy brigadier and logistics manager at the Forbach police stationintroduce their profession to young high school students like Evan. 

This is for maintaining order, do you know what maintaining order is?

Oui.

What is it?

This is for example when there are demonstrations and we have to supervise them and prevent them from overflowing.

There you go, that’s what we need. We protect our legs, our body, our shoulders and our heads. The shield is there. I’m going to have you try out all the equipment, so you’ll see.

It’s actually funny, for example, I thought that the outfit was perhaps a little heavier, whereas what weighs the heaviest on me at the moment is mainly the shield.

As EvanFaustine came out of curiosity but above all to get information.

I was able to find out about the specific professions that interested me in the field of investigation and I didn’t have too many answers in relation to that. The research was complicated, and being able to question the police was interesting.

information, Théo also came to look for some on this forum. Today he is in his final year in this high school and also a reservist in the first Sarrebourg infantry regiment.

Everyone thinks that the military must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but no. We can have the reserve for students, which opens doors, later perhaps even to move towards the active. I find it important to present the reserve to my comrades.

Evan also has the idea of ​​becoming a reservist and he hesitates between the military or the police.

For the moment I think I might be interested in becoming a reservist, so I was able to give my contact details and I will see if I meet the requirements we will say.
