Later November 2016 I got promoted to Corporal, 2020 I did back to back covid operations as a RPC skipper & my bowman was Pte Leo Akiba. End of 2021 I got promoted to Sergeant, 2022 I did Coast Watchers Operation in Solomon Islands for 3 weeks & looking back for all the years I’ve been in ADF, all the challenges I’ve been through it wasn’t easy but it did make me a better person so if I can do it so can you. CHALLENGE YOURSELF, LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES & KEEP MOVING FORWARD.’ – Jamahl Tamwoy
