I would like to say how much I have enjoyed reading your publication over the
past five years.
My daughter is a Leading Seaman CIS in Cairns and I have
been reading Navy News since she enlisted. It is great to be able to keep up with
the news, views and endeavours of the fleet. As a parent it is also good to know
what is happening in the working life of my child. I look forward to getting on
the internet every fortnight to catch up on the latest. Keep up the good work.
