Sea Cadet Instructor and Officer

Joining the South African Sea Cadets as a new recruit i learned everything about naval customs and traditions and started to live like a naval seaman as time goes. Working my way up through all the sea cadet ranks with different proficiency's and mustering. Sea Cadets became a lifestyle and training young cadets became my passion until today, as time goes i build up a very close relationship with naval staff and sea cadet officers.
