We are here at CFB Wainwright for the 22nd annual Bold
Eagle graduation.
I was so nervous today, but it was the most amazing
feeling walking out on that parade square and just marching
in front of all those people.
It was absolutely amazing and I was so full of pride.
It's a really great program that I’d recommend to anybody.
It was lots of fun, lots of hard work, lots of challenges.
You meet new people, it's great.
We’re both very proud Bold Eagle parents.
They did great and we’re just really really proud of them.
The kids, they embrace anytime there is challenges and we
expect them to do well and no matter what they do were
proud of them but I think they did exceptionally well with
this program.
The experience is very tense, nerve racking but once you
get through it, it's a great feeling and there's no better
feeling than that, after you get off the parade.
There’s a lot of families that think this is a boot camp.
I don't think it's a boot camp.
It’s a learning experience and it gives you choices to
make for yourself to live in a better environment.
It opens all kinds of doors of opportunity, in education,
in lifestyle and it builds character.
I'm proud to say that I'm part of the military.
With the parade now over, these young Bold Eagle graduates
are going to return to their lives.
Some are going back to high school, others will continue on
with careers in the Canadian Forces or the RCMP.
