Picture: DEFENCE TOM Simpson, 22, of Bateau Bay, has swapped dirt bikes and four-wheel driving for the diversity of Darwin and a career with the Royal Australian Navy. The former Wyong Christian School student was posted to HMAS Coonawarra after completing the initial Stores naval course and Dangerous Goods course at recruit school in Victoria. This is my first posting, Seaman Simpson said. I am assigned to Fleet Logistics Support Element at HMAS Coonawarra at Darwin. I am responsible for receipt, dispatch and general tasks with stores, and supplies for patrol boats and other ships. Seaman Simpson said he is enjoying his posting. It has given me an opportunity to meet new people and develop my skills, he said. However, I am looking forward to a home visit soon to catch up with family.
