The Command and Executive Leadership of the RBDF is aware of images of organizational members improperly dressed or tardy while representing our country during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Parade in the United Kingdom. The Woman Marine wearing the improper shoes had sustained an injury during the week while parade preparations were done but performed as required in display of the Country’s Colours. However, the mitigating circumstances necessitated the use of an alternative footwear following the parade in an informal setting where token exchanges were made. Secondly, the rig worn by the Commanding Officer is a working rig which was worn during the rehearsals. As noted in an actual recording of the parade both personnel were properly attired and well turned out.The dress, bearing, conduct, and performance of organizational members is of utmost importance to the Royal Bahamas Defence Force where considerable pride is taken at all times.
