You cannot simply transfer soldiers and make them sailors..rubbish. Additionaly, the reason the T&T Coast Guard is in the position it is in is due to the leadership of the Coast Guard.
Our Defense Force is not different from Costa Rica...it is a Defense Force same as a National Guard, we doh have no army and no Navy to attach anyone.
The boats are needed and they will get them, do you feel that the PP dat dotish?
The T&T CG;s leadership once had an opportunity to refurbish CG5 and CG6, the Ministry was going to send those vessels to Sweden (thats where they first obtained them new0 to be refurbished and re-fitted, the T&T CG insisted they could do it themselves....result? The boats were eventually scrapped.
Whne it comes down, Martin Joseph has to listen to advice, he is NOT a Naval expert, he sent many officers overseas to study and become experts.
Imagine the T&T CG sent boats to Grenada to buy liquor for the Christmas party without Ministerial permission...no customs nutten!!
Piss poor leadership. none ah dem suckers wnat to make command decisions as they fraid....steups.
