Summary
I am a Combat Systems Operator with over 5 years of dedicated service in the Royal Australian Navy. With expertise in Tactical Data Links (TDL) and (Global Command and Control Systems- Maritime (GCCS-M) applications, I have demonstrated exceptional organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail throughout my career.
