The ceremony, held at the E. T. Willet Park in Nevis, was historic as it was the first time that an SKNDF training and graduation was held on the island of Nevis. There were several other notable firsts, including a raise in pay for the recruits and the seven-month training period, which usually runs for up to four months. The extended period was necessary due to some logistical challenges at the start of the course during the first couple of weeks.
