Re: ..Jamaica trivia questions and answers (needed)

The whole Jamaica Defence force is really voluntary. unless you are referring to the reserve forces.
but that would also include the part time member s of the Jamaica Air wing and thatis not a part of the third battalion.
They are all a part of the Jamaica National Reserves though.
As a matter of fact at one stage the reserve air wing was larger than the regular, but their carfts was anything that fly other than a kite. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: xKs</div><div class="ubbcode-body">good stuff Humano

Re: ..Jamaica trivia questions and answers (needed)

No problem. I understood your question as referring to the reserve forces.

One time I went from New Castle to Catherine's Peak (where they have those three red lights with the flashing one on top); it was brutally cold there. And don't mess with Colyville in Manchester.
