Ex-CNVs' CNY Reception

It's an annual event, where all the Ex Chief of Navy (CNV)s would host a CNY reception for ex naval officers and senior specialists. Had the privilege to be invited for the past years. Met former bosses and shipmates. Among the many was former CNV, Teo Chee Hean, DS(Navy) Robin Wong and former CO MIDS Simon Hoon, HNTs Peter Ho and Peter Chen, Fleet Commander, Lee Seng Kong and many, many more. The Navy family has grown over the years but memories are still fresh of the "Good old days".

Great to meet up with my former COs and Head of Departments / previous bosses.

Most are happily retired, sharing tales of their days at sea and their current roles as grandfathers. The gathering was honoured by the present of MAJ(Ret) RV Simon and MAJ(Ret) Leong See Keong who were among the pioneers way before the Maritime Command.

How time had flew by. Many had 2 to 3 decades of the lives in the service. How we each had fade, fade away but still closely knitted by the Navy Family.
