My very first experience on the high seas was on the CFS Panavera...

PTL: When did you first get the chance to sail on the 'high seas'?

AB: My very first experience was on the CFS Panavera. This I did for six months. I then moved on to many other sea-going missions in as far as off shore Africa for seven months.

PTL: When you decide to come closer to 'JamRoc', what was your next professional move?

AB: I wanted to be closer to home so I decided to join the JDF Coast Guard Wing in 2013 as a Private. What was interesting to me was the fact that I had to complete one year of infantry training to qualify for the Navy. I have no regrets as all this time I benefitted from very rigid training that coupled with my engineering expertise has made my professional profile look impressive.
