As the date draws closer for the crowning of a Miss Guyana Defence Force, the nineteen delegates vying for the 2015 title were sashed on Wednesday, last, at the Auditorium, Base Camp Ayanganna, by their respective commanders.
Amidst cheers, the female soldiers introduced themselves and gave a brief description of the Units/Departments which they will be representing.
Unlike traditional pageants, the Miss Guyana Defence Force 2015 Pageant is one with several differences says Commanding Officer of the Women Army Corps (WAC) Lieutenant Colonel (Lt Col) Natasha Stanford.
“The Miss Guyana Defence Force Pageant is not only a beauty pageant but rather an organized showcase of the physical fitness, marksmanship skills, talent, poise and eloquence of a military woman.”
The ceremony was the first of five activities for the delegates. September 10, 2015, is the date set for the Talent Competition. On September 24-25, 2015, there will be a Run and Shoot Competition where the delegates’ physical fitness and marksmanship abilities would be tested. This would be followed by a Swim Suit Competition on October 7, 2015.
The coronation event is set for October 23 at the National Cultural Centre; the delegates will be competing in evening wear and will also battle for high scores in the intelligence segment. The Miss Guyana Defence Force Pageant is among several activities organized to celebrate the Force’s 50th Anniversary.
The ceremony also featured live musical performances from the Guyana Defence Force Frontline Band, a dance presentation by the Classique Dance Group and a rendition by civilian Jennifer Jones. The ceremony was attended by the Chief of Staff, Brigadier Mark Phillips, other Senior Officers of the Guyana Defence Force, Warrant Officers, Senior Non-Commissioned Officer, Junior Non-Commissioned Officers, Soldiers, special invitees, and civilian staff, whom were seemingly enticed by the nineteen delegates.
