On why the meek join the RAN

The subject line for this post is actually a take off of a blog by one of my former housemates jO31. He set up a blog a while ago, and while mine not be as funny as his, I thought having a blog is useful for someone joining the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). This way my family and friends and anyone else in the world can read about what I'm up to. Obviously for any ADF web crawlers out there who might discover this entry, I wont be revealing any state secrets (even though I wont know anything), so any and all KGB agents - go away now please.

So who am I. Well my name is right there on the pane next to this so I wont repeat it. What have I been doing for the past few years. Well I have been at Monash University in Clayton Australia. I have just finished a degree in Software Engineering with honours and this year I had the opportunity to co author a paper on AO Software that got published at the 21st IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering. I was also involved with the Monash Christian Union, and did a whole bunch of other stuff.

So why join the RAN?? Well the profession has always appealed to me. It's really that simple. For any more detailed questions, just ask.

Well that's about it for now, so for the juicy stuff - you'll have to wait.

:)
