Bandar Seri Begawan - The first intake of Boys Wing, Royal Brunei Armed Forces will organise a reunion this Sunday evening, December 24, to reminisce their recruitment 28 years ago.

The event is scheduled to take place at the residence of Lt Col HajiAzlan bin Haji Saji-at Spg 124-153, Kg Selayun in Jerudong. Guests at the reunion will include former instructors of the Boys Wing.

Various activities have been planned for the night including Isyak prayers, a `tahlil' ceremony, 'doa kesyukuran', a slideshow and barbeque.

The first intake of the Boys Wing comprised 31 boys aged 16. One member has passed away while some have quit or retired from the armed forces, while two have attained the rank of full colonels and are still in service. After a stint at the Boys Wing, the young recruits were attached to various units of RBAF.

According to Haji Azhar Haji Aziz, a recruit of the first intake, the reunion has been held in various hotels and restaurants in the past.

"One of the objectives of the reunion is to strengthen relationships. Being young, we grew attached to each other like brothers," he said. "We wish to keep this attachment forever through reunion gatherings as a way of keeping in touch."-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
