We went to be over to Perth, at HMAS Leeuwin, which is now an army barracks, I think. But that was the junior recruit training establishment. So yeah, pretty much spent the first part of my time there, and then graduated, and then off to HMAS Cerberus, which is where most sailors do their, you know, initial training, before getting off to post it out to you know, the Navy proper …
I was a, what they call a stores naval, which is in a supply area … so I did my training, my specialisation training there … So basically, our role is to provide the logistics, aspects of not only shore bases, but also ships at sea, which covers a range of commodities from, you know, aircraft parts through to basically the food that's on the ship.
And, you know, making sure we account for it, you know, and make sure the endurance of the ship is loaded correctly. So that we could disappear for, you know, six months and make sure that we could get back again.
