Omg 🤯🤯🤯!!

What amazing news to receive at sea, I’m blown away! A massive thank you to everyone in the incredible teams I’ve worked with this year; without you, I’d have been half the man and leader that I am today 🔱🫶🏻🏳️‍🌈

@HMSQNLZ's Commonwealth Network arranged an event at sea providing food and games from across the Commonwealth. This event was overwhelmingly supported by @HMSQNLZ's Ship's Company and is just one of the ways we build a strong foundation following our recent period in Rosyth.

We did it, Joe! We made it to 30 😅🥳

My 20’s were pretty amazing, I hope my 30’s can compare 🙌🏻🎉

[Vice Admiral Steve Moorhouse @smrmoorhouse]

Technology and automation are essential on the modern battlefield but if you want to win in the High North you also need highly trained professionals. The @RoyalMarines integrated with our Norwegian partners @Forsvarsdep remain at the tip of @DefenceHQ spear. #leadfightwin
