If you happen to visit Guyana, stop by John Fernand rice mill in Fairfield Mahaicony and talk to the security guard. He is one that was a career soldier never migrate - family man dose'nt drink, proudly riding his lifetime achievement big ben bicycle to his security job..
Why would I need to check with anyone when I was in the GDF myself? That person's current status has nothing to do with his ethnicity. Many former Afro GDF members have to resort to menial jobs after service. Last year we visited a home for veterans where former soldiers, now homeless, reside. They were all Afros. Again, your argument is BS.
The reason why I want you to talk to this veteran yourself is because I don't want to tell you what he says about promotion practices that would be hearsay.
So who should the coolie boys should look up to as role model to join the GDF - this guy who end up as a watchman or you who end up migrating after your four years? The blacks kids has Grainger, Mclean and barrage of others that make it to top ranks.
Brig Joe Singh, Col Nazrul Hussein (recently retd), Col K Persaud (retd), Col Ramkarran Doodnauth (still active), Poshanand Tahal, dep Dir of Prisons (retd), Col Jawahar Persaud (recently retd), to name a few. These are all senior officers that I know personally. Add those I can't remember, am not familiar with, and others in the past two to three decades. Why do they need role models? If role models are needed, can they not aspire to be role models? I did not enlist because of any role model.
BTW, I was critically involved in the promotions of all my subordinates who were up for promotions, me, an Indo officer.
