What does it truly mean to be a man?

That question was at the heart of Big Man Ting, an engaging and thought-provoking forum hosted at the Caribbean Military Academy for its servicemen.

The initiative, a collaborative effort between the Violence Prevention Alliance (VPA) and the JDF Gender Advisory Network, led by the CMA Gender Advisor, invited participants to examine contemporary concepts of masculinity, leadership, emotional intelligence, healthy relationships and personal responsibility.

Through candid conversations and meaningful dialogue, the forum challenged harmful stereotypes and encouraged a more positive vision of manhood—one grounded in respect, accountability, empathy and service.

As part of wider efforts to promote positive masculinity and address gender-based violence, the session underscored the critical role men and boys play in shaping safer families, stronger institutions and more resilient communities.

Music has long been a powerful force for discipline, cohesion, tradition and national pride. Within the military, it serves an even greater purpose—supporting ceremonial excellence, preserving heritage, strengthening esprit de corps and enhancing public engagement.

Major O MUNDLE, Head of the Caribbean Military School of Music, shares insight into the vital role the School plays in developing highly skilled musicians and eventually music educators and directors who can contribute meaningfully to both military and civilian life.

As part of the Caribbean Military Academy, the School of Music is helping to shape the next generation of musical leaders through professional training, academic excellence and the values of military service.

Through music, discipline meets creativity, tradition meets innovation and talent is transformed into purpose.
