Today the Belize Defence Force complemented its fighting capabilities with the passing out of BDF recruit intake number fifty two. The short ceremony was held at the Sir Colville Young Parade Square in Price Barracks Ladyville. The 62 new soldiers had to successfully complete six weeks of intensive training. Today these men and women are skilled in map reading, tactics, signals, military communications, skill at arms, leadership and discipline. These outstanding qualities were demonstrated during the today’s graduation by the intakes themselves. The following are highlights from the ceremony.
