The Royal Bermuda Regiment’s latest recruits were visited by David Burt, the Premier.Mr Burt and Wayne Caines, the Minister of National Security, met recruits, along with members of the RBR senior leadership team, as they started their training this week.Mr Caines said: “The RBR is now an all-voluntary service, so we are very appreciative of the individuals who have chosen to serve in the RBR.“The new recruits are going through an intense two-week training camp aimed at honing and developing their skills. “They spent most of their second day in camp in the lecture theatre learning about the values and standards of the Royal Bermuda Regiment, equality and inclusiveness and military discipline.”The minister added: “Following Recruit Camp, the 31 local soldiers will continue their phase-one training during a series of drill nights and weekend camps before being posted to the operational companies. “They will all have an important role in providing military aid to the civil authority, humanitarian aid and disaster relief, or securing Bermuda’s inshore waters with the newly launched Bermuda coastguard unit.”Mr Caines, who served with the RBR, described the experience as “enriching”.He added: “I encouraged our soldiers to immerse themselves in this two-week experience and learn as much as possible, as it will serve them very well in their future.”• A second recruit camp will be held in July.
