Regiment To Hold Assessment Day On June 28
“An assessment event will be held from 10am on Saturday, June 28 – the last day for candidates to sign up ahead of the next foundational training course, which will run from July 6 to 18,” the Royal Bermuda Regiment said.
A spokesperson said, “Residents looking for challenge and personal growth are encouraged to join the Royal Bermuda Regiment as the battalion prepares for its second recruit camp of the year.
“An assessment event will be held from 10am on Saturday, June 28 – the last day for candidates to sign up ahead of the next foundational training course, which will run from July 6 to 18.
“Attendees will be invited to undergo a brief physical check and to take part in a personal fitness test – they are encouraged to bring a towel and water. They will also be asked a few questions in a short interview.
“Enlistment is open to anyone aged from 18 to 52 who can legally reside in Bermuda.”
An RBR spokeswoman said: “In the Royal Bermuda Regiment, we need to fill a varied array of roles, so there is a place for almost anyone. From clerks and cooks to mechanics and medics, our troops develop not only in battlefield settings but also in other environments, where their honed skills can easily be transferred to aspects of civilian life.
“The RBR offers a training and working environment that is challenging and rewarding. It can provide support for continuing education in both personal and service-focused disciplines, while it also fosters the development of skills related to leadership, teamwork and resource management, among others.
“We are pleased to be an organisation that evolves and remains relevant to the community we serve, including through our Coast Guard unit and in hurricane clean-up operations, while we proudly uphold tradition largely thanks to our ceremonial duties.
“On top of all that, our troops often say that the best thing about the regiment is its people. We are incredibly lucky to have a talented, diverse body of robust, disciplined men and women who remain committed to ensuring they are capable and ready to meet Bermuda’s needs in routine matters or times of emergency.”
The spokesperson said, “As a reminder, the RBR’s policies on hairstyles and beards have been updated in the past couple of years, as the battalion continues to cultivate a more appealing and inclusive atmosphere for existing and prospective members.
“Males are permitted to wear full beards kept short and neatly trimmed, without dyes. They may also wear twists, locks or cornrows, providing that the length does not reach the collar or onto the ears, unless the style is worn for religious reasons. Females are no longer limited to wearing longer hair in a bun when in uniform, although hair must be well-groomed and secured or styled back from the face.”
The spokeswoman added: “Speak to a soldier, give us a call or come along on Saturday to find out more.
“As our troops will tell you, there is much to be gained from joining the regiment, what have you got to lose?”
The spokesperson said, “Some documentation is required for enlistment and anyone interested can find out more by calling 238-1045 or sending a WhatsApp message to 707-0353. To start the enlistment process, visit RBR.bm and complete the form by clicking on the ‘Join Us’ tab, where more information is provided.”
