Consistent with the Commander Defence Force, Commodore Raymond King’s command strategic objection of enhancing the morale and welfare of serving members and veterans whilst developing a high-performance workforce, recreational supplies were sent to members of the force who are currently on deployment.
Led by Chief Petty Officer John Ingraham and Petty Officer Eunice Rolle of the RBDF’s Welfare Section, supplies, which included items such as basketballs and an assortment of board games, were presented to Commodore King on December 14, 2020, at Defence Headquarters, John F. Kennedy Drive.
The items, which were made possible by the Welfare section, will be distributed to the teams stationed in Abaco and Inagua. On accepting the donations, the Commander Defence Force was grateful for the gesture, as he thanked the section for their kindness.
