Rangers Abaco District

Today is Saturday 5.26.18.  Yesterday i rode my bike to the Post Office at the Government Complex building.  I mailed my Aunt Nona a card.  (it's been too long Nona)  While i was at the Government complex, a maintenance worker invited me back today.  She said, "be here at 11am and bring your camera."  So, i did.

The Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) is the navy of The Bahamas. Since The Bahamas does not have an army or an air force, its navy composes the entirety of its armed forces. Under The Defence Act, the Royal Bahamas Defence Force has been mandated to defend The Bahamas, protect its territorial integrity, patrol its waters, provide assistance in times of disaster, maintain order in conjunction with the law enforcement agencies of The Bahamas, and carry out any such duties as determined by the National Security Council.

These are new recruits of Rangers.  The RBDF training team.  School children enter the program and progress up through the ranks.  Today was new recruit graduation day.
