CHIEF of Staff, Brigadier Patrick West, promoted a batch of 27 potential Reserve Officers to the rank of Ensigncy during a parade held in their honour recently.

The Reserve Officer Course Number 16 started on September 8, 2017, with 37 Officer Cadets and 27 of them have so far endured the rigorousness of the training.

After decorating the potential Reserve Officers with their new badges of rank, Brigadier West urged them to remain resolute and focused on their goal of becoming Officers.
He also urged them to stay the course, stand tall and be an inspiration to others.

“There is only one road for you, the road to commissioning. Stay focus!” he encouraged.
The last batch of Reserve Officers was trained in 2009. This batch is expected to be commissioned with the ensigns of the Standard Officer Course Number 50.
