A Seamark Achievement
Edward #1010 on the family tree was born in Devon in 1994 and move with his parents to Melbourne, Australia as a very young child. Now living in Diamond Creek he has justified early promise by winning an Undergraduate Sponsorship and an undergraduate entry position as a Marine Engineering Officer in the Royal Australian Navy.
A measure of his success is evidenced by the fact that only 19 such scholarships were awarded this year across all disciplines, the majority going to medics. He is now a commissioned officer with the rank of Midshipman; has completed basic training and been sworn in. He has commenced the 3 year course in Mechatronics Engineering at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and being a member of the armed forces has to apply for leave at the end of each term!
When he graduates he expects to be posted to manage the entirety of a ship’s mechanical systems except for weaponry. Even more important will be his duties as leader of the on board engineering team. A family history trust necessarily spends time reporting on careers successfully completed. It is a pleasure on this occasion to be reporting on one promisingly commenced.
