”Mne Joseph
Despite a frenetic work backdrop, which saw him deployed for 6 months of the year on exercises in Norway, Germany and in the UK, Marine Joseph’s selfless commitment to the Corps has been exceptional. Using his own leave, he sponsors RM aspirants from the Commonwealth, who are unknown to him beforehand. This year, Marine Joseph has used 15 days’ leave to provide accommodation and transport for RM aspirants, as he ushers them through their compressed selection process, before ensuring their safe passage back home. To date he has successfully enabled 3 Commonwealth entries into RM basic training at CTCRM and has demonstrated the gains that a dedicated individual at any level can achieve towards resolving an Operational Pinch Point.
