Serving in the Army

Private Suchart was drafted to serve in the army on March 23rd, 1964 in the First Anti-aircraft Regiment. Firstly, he was Private of fire-arms and received training for four months at Camp Thanarat, Pranburi District, Prachuapkirikhan Province. Then the official letter from the Commander at Camp Thanarat transferred him to the Anti-aircraft Regiment. It read in part “P.V. Suchart Kosolkitiwong is a very good private and has wonderful brain. A rank of Lieutenant Corporal is fit for him.”
While being a soldier, P.V. Suchart was very diligent, disciplined, and obedient to orders of his Commander. Sometimes, he received divine power from the Spiritual World. On one occasion, while listening to lecture, P.V. Suchart raised his hand for permission to speak in front of the class. When he was allowed, he then spoke about strategy which was a matter far beyond the knowledge of a private . This puzzled and surprised the audience. On a certain hot day, P.V. Suchart said that he would call for rain. He then went to sit in the open-air, prayed a hymn and it then rained.
