The Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) recently hosted it’s the first annual Junior Rates Mess Dinner at the HMBS Coral Harbour Training Auditorium. The event was marked as a memorable occasion, with junior marines coming together to enjoy a formal dinner, connect, and celebrate the unity among the enlisted.
The Honorable Wayne Munroe, Minister of National Security, and Commodore Raymond E. King, Commander Defence Force, both attended the event in a show of their support for the young marines’ hard work and dedication, which fostered morale and camaraderie.
This year’s Junior Rates Mess Dinner offered marines a valuable opportunity to relax and connect in a structured setting, contributing to their personal well-being and professional development. Such events play a vital role in reinforcing the core values of the Defence Force and strengthening bonds and discipline among personnel.
This Junior Rates Mess Dinner was another testament to the Defence Force’s focus on supporting its members and encouraging high spirits across all levels of service. The RBDF remains committed to nurturing the growth and welfare of all marines, providing environments that promote teamwork and resilience.
Under the leadership of Commander Defence Force, Commodore Raymond E. King, the Royal Bahamas Defence Force is committed to promoting workforce engagement and empowerment. By actively involving service members, we seek to foster shared responsibility in accomplishing the mission of the Defence Force.
