SHIP IS MY HOME, SEA IS MY PLAYGROUND AND WAR IS MY GAME

I joined the Navy when I was 19 years old, apart from wanted to serve my country, I truly wanted to make a difference. I joined the Navy with dreams of seeing exotic places around the world...

Sailor's life is completely an adventurous one, it just like any other job.....Sailor is the one who knows the feelings and emotions of the sea....A rough day at sea is still better than any day in the office..

When I first drafted to the ship in 1981, My petty officer used to say to me that "As a Sailor, Ship is your home, Sea is your playground and war is your game." I always keep that in my mind until I retired in 1996.....

After 16 years serving onboard 9 RMN ships, I had learned that Sea is my country, Ship is my Home, waves are my enemies, war in not my game as I never get involved in the war and duty is My life....
AHOY ! SAILOR
We are sailors, we're rugged, able men of the sea
Braving the oceans to the highest degree
GOOD NIGHT... and sweet dreams.....
