Additional Information
With an insatiable thirst for knowledge, tend to read up on all related material and research papers prior to taking on new appointments. Such as reading up on FAA, ICAO, EASA and USAF Aviation Training theory and methods as well as our Singapore WSH requirements, prior to my appointment as OC Mechanical.
As I retire from military service, my thirst for knowledge has equipped me with such deep expertise which I would feel privileged to share and nurture with the next generation.
