| Juliet Squadron- The Jaguars Lair |
History

A Jaguar |
 Man has evolved to appreciate the best of predator of the natural world. The ‘Felines’ beyond doubt have been the best predators. Amongst them is the ever exclusive ‘Jaguar’. It may not be as large as the tiger or swift as the cheetahs but rather , is the perfect combination of both.
We, the Jaguars of the urban world derive our inspiration from the Feline which manifests itself in characteristics such as swiftness, clever, cunningness, agility, aggressiveness and patience. “Jaguars” are a ‘breed apart’. Being a Jaguar is more than just being a cadet.
“ Anyone can be a cadet but to be a Jaguar, you have to be a breed apart.”
The feeling of being born in the squadron is ever exhilarating because after 9 months of joining the academy, after completing Camp Greenhorn, you finally become a Jaguar. |
