ME (Stoker)

Leeuwin, Sydney, Vendetta, Vampire (3 times), Duchess (2 times), Kimbla, Cerberus, Nirimba, Penguin, Kuttabul (F I M A), HMS Defiance exchange posting for 4 months in 1985.

I am currently living in Kings Park NSW where I have been for 28 years. Married to Gail for 30yrs. And have 2 sons Andrew and Adam.  I am a member of the Blacktown Aussie masters swimming club. Up until 2003 I was playing baseball but a broken leg put an end to that.

As you can see I became a Daring Dusty for most of my time in the mob.  I paid off a CPOMTP3 in 1987 not long after paying off the Vampire, the reason I paid off.  In 1978 I started a mechanician course at Nirimba.  !n 1985 I went on a exchange posting to HMS Defiance a Fleet maintenance depot in Devonport England for 4 months. The RN sent me to Holland and Gibraltar as well as around England.

After I paid off I worked as a fitter for 2 years, before going to I C I at Rhodes in Sydney as a shift engineer.  In 1995 I started my present job, still working near water.
