Cayman Island Regiment recruitment starts

Cayman Island Regiment recruitment starts

The recruitment campaign for 50 part-time Reservists for the Cayman Islands Regiment has started. Recruitment is open to British Overseas Territories Citizens and British Citizens, Irish Citizens and Commonwealth Citizens who have Permanent Residency in the Cayman Islands.
You need to be 18 to 50 years of age, pass written and fitness tests and then an interview. Experience is not required but previous military service such as the Cayman Islands Cadet Corps is welcomed. Full training will be provided and successful candidates will be paid a per diem allowance when they attend. Advancing the Cayman Regiment during a global pandemic is a significant achievement. For more information and the application and medical forms, visit www.gov.ky/ciregiment.

Next week HMS Medway and RFA Argus will be here for the two weeks. They will be exercising their plans to support Cayman should a hurricane or similar natural disaster occur and they are also providing helicopter cover whilst the RCIPS helicopters are off island for their routine maintenance. The exercise will include bringing troops and equipment ashore to test logistics and then checking to ensure they have appropriate communications and can carry out medical evacuations. The exercise this year will also ensure that appropriate measures are in place to avoid any contact between the ships company, their personnel and those onshore. Both ships are COVID 19 free and the crews have been at sea and isolated for an extended period of time, but out of an abundance of caution and also to prevent possible infection being transmitted to the ships there will no close contact with any people on our islands.

Next week's BA flight to London is nearly full but there are still a few seats left. You can book at www.otairbridge.com.

The inbound flight is also busy - it will stop in TCI first to disembark passengers from the UK to TCI, BVI and the Bahamas. The flight will be bringing back about 100 Caymanians and Permanent Residents. Very pleased that Cayman is playing this regional role to help our neighbours get their citizens back home.

The Governor's office is continuing negotiations with the Indian Government over the repatriation of Indian Nationals. They hope to have more news on that soon.

There are also two private individuals organising flights: one to Ecuador/Mexico (Cancun) on Monday, 8 June. This is for Mexican and Ecuadorian nationals only. Anyone interested in joining this group should contact Daniel Rodriguez at Daniel Rodriquez. The second one is to Canada (Toronto) on Monday 13 July. Contact Nicole Poirier if you would like to join the flight. It is outbound only.
