it was the bermuda regiment 1000 strong who put bermuda back on its feet 1987 after we were wiped out by hurricane emily..those of us who served during that time..and who were blessed to be sent overseas to help other countries in thier time of natural disaster will never forsake the call

Any visitors who might have been on hand were probably more ‘curious’ as to who they were as opposed to ‘alarmed’.

Sorry Paulo , but your remarks sound like they’re coming from someone who’s trying their best to duck doing their time in the Regiment.

Any visitors who still choose to come here have far greater things to concern them , and they aint wearing the army uniform !

so none of the overly sensitive tourist you seem to be thinking we have would have ever saw us. but as JS pointed out loads of military have travelled on commercial flights in uniform (me included) and the only thing they get is respect and thanks for their service in the military (happened to me in Canada, even though i was clearly not part of the Canadian military).

So Paulo while you are free to post what you like could you please shut up with the negative comments, the guys spent two hard weeks pushing themselves through training, something some of them didn’t really want to do but they did and they should be proud of that fact as should the Bermudian people.

oh and on a small note, people don’t need training on how to kill people

We in Bermuda will feel the pain one day when a terrorist attack impacts directly. We live in a la la land and perpetuate negativity and small mindedness (all whilst holding a higher per capita university degree standard than many first world countries and third world countries like India and China boast the largest so we should watch our self pronounced insightful dialogue.

we are so backward it isn’t funny.so proud it is dumbfounding. so predictable it is laughable. so brainwashed from 400 yrs of thievish, selfish, self centred behaviours that we have lost focus. we thrive on race bashing….other countries have classism bashing….some even have national PRIDE.

where do we stand? all alone in the Atlantic Ocean relying on external sources of income with no industry whatsoever and always have time to bash each other.

when will we stand up to our own ghosts and have a positive outlook in EVERYTHING?

did the Sea Venture have persons who come from a gene pool of negative thinkers? did all the slaves imported come from a similar gene pool?

RISEUPSTANDUPBERMUDA and push positivity onto our men and women.

Obviously you don’t travel much to states or walk aroun US airports with blinders on. Since 2011, US soldiers returning on leave always wear their uniforms whilst travelling on civilian flights. On many occassions these brave souls get an appreciative applause as they are walking through an airport.
Somehow I don’t think tourists are going to be alarmed at the site of soldiers returning home from training.
A more positive message would have been ‘Congrats A Company on performing your required duty’.
Negative messages like yours only encourage the ‘hotheads’ who are perpetrating a life of crime.
