Warrant
Officer David Turner will become the new Warrant Officer of the
Navy (WO-N) later this month.
He will begin work with current WO-N, WOUC David Wilson on September
16 for a handover period, before an official swearing-in ceremony
with Chief of Navy VADM Chris Ritchie on September 27.
“My intention is to be responsible to CN but to work for the
sailors,” WO Turner said.
“We are all responsible to someone, but my intention is to
work for the sailor community,” he added.
He said he would follow in the footsteps of the current WO-N by
visiting and consulting widely with the fleet, but is aware of the
busy schedules of HMA ships and submarines.
“I shall increase relations with the other two service Warrant
Officers and continue to build links with our international counterparts.”
