Only brave and experienced NCOs dare volunteer for duties at these camps. Even JOB of the bible himself would have his legendary patience tested at these camps.
Here a group is being formed up by some NCOs
not much sign of progress here...
ahha - check this out -ORDER!!!
what happened? - duty officer Mr. D. Beckles marched on to the parade square and ordered "PARADE ... SHUN"
magic words....
...now there is silence and rapt attention to his words..
If you look carefully you will notice up to six different games being played at the same time and often in the same space in the photos here.
He actually played some class shots too -as we said, not only junior cadets like recreation time.
Another regular cricketing officer is 2Lt A Alleyne. (check photos above and confirm this...)
While the Juniors were playing, Star four cadets were preparing for their Basic Fitness Tests (BFT).
Here a star 4 candidate is working on his pull-ups (and doing a bit of showing off for the girls at the same time)
Under the watchful eyes of 2Lt Alleyne and Mr. J Belle, another star 4 cadet seeks to outdo his partner (and impress even more girls)
The star 4 girls were not to be left out... they needed to practice hanging from the bar for as long as possible.
... hmmmm only 18 seconds. More work needed if that BFT is to be impressive.
Another favourite camp time is Dinner (or any meal)
Here cadets queue for dinner under the Mess tent after the Recreation period.
Another major event was the all day adventurous exercise. All the Junior cadets left camp and took a trek east around the Airport.
Here they file through the Regional Police Training Center during the hike.
The lines seemed to be endless...
The Cadet Corps Athletes camp was ongoing at the RPTC and here Camp Director, Mr. Jasper Blades looks on in admiration at the juniors...
...still more coming through
..and there they go into the woods.
