SCORES OF BARBADIANS are applying for recruitment into the Barbados Defence Force (BDF).

Newly-appointed Chief of Staff, Lieutenant Colonel Glyne Grannum, says the BDF has been receiving an “overwhelmingly large demand” to join, from young men and women motivated by a desire to serve their country and communities.

He told the DAILY NATION yesterday during a promotion ceremony for 19 members at St Ann’s Fort: “The young Barbadian men and women who come to enlist in the force, the message I get from them is they want to serve, they want to do something for Barbados and their community over and above themselves.” (GC)
