Magdiel was trained as a FAR combatant at the Camilo Cienfuegos Military School, the venue for the solemn ceremony. “It is doubly an honor because I graduated from this teaching center, then I had the opportunity to work as an officer here. In this same square, I have lived happy moments of my career as a soldier; here we founded the school, and I earned the rank of captain. This is also a result of the family that has played an important role in my career.
