Dear Sir,
I have read recent articles referencing the Bermuda Regiment and to avoid public misunderstanding:
1. The hourly rate for a basic private soldier is $17.87 (not $7.75).
2. A private soldier's initial enlistment period of service is 3 years and 2 months (40 training periods and a 2 week training exercise per year). Upon completion of solely their basic duties during their initial enlistment period they are expected to earn not less than $13,000.
3. The Regiment's budget is $6,959,000.
Yours sincerely,
Major Benjamin Beasley
Adjutant to the Bermuda Regiment
