During RIMPAC 2016 I am assigned to the Multinational Logistic Support Element (MLSE) to represent Brunei Darussalam,” said Weapons Engineer Officer Lt. Cmdr. Muhd Shahmun Azimin Hj Awg Asli of the Royal Brunei Navy.
Shahmun said this is his second RIMPAC and that he hopes to come back for RIMPAC 2018 with the ship he is currently assigned to - KDB Darulaman (OPV-08) Offshore Patrol Vessel of the Royal Brunei Navy.
“I have been in for 14 years,” said Shahmun, a Darrusalam, Brunei native.
“I feel like RIMPAC has been a highlight of my career.”
Shahmun added he highly values the experience of the biggest exercise he has ever been part of and he is honored to work with his international counterparts.
“The MLSE team is great,” said Shahmun.
Twenty-six nations, more than 40 ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 30 to Aug. 4, in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationship that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2016 is the 25th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Katarzyna Kobiljak)
