SHOALWATER BAY, Australia - Amidst the camaraderie of shipmates and delicious meals, nothing compares to the longing for home when Corporal First Class (CFC) Lim Shi Xian is out at sea aboard a Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) vessel. After weeks in the RSS Persistence, the 22-year-old full-time national serviceman was recently joined by a familiar face - his younger brother who has also been deployed to the same overseas exercise during his national service. Like CFC Lim, 21-year-old Corporal (CPL) Lim Shi Rong, is participating in Exercise Trident at Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA) in Australia. CFC Lim is a fast craft specialist with the RSN while CPL Lim is a platoon marksman with 3rd Battalion, Singapore Guards. Held from November 6 to 15, the bilateral Exercise Trident involved more than 1,900 troops from the Singapore and Australian militaries training together in a space four times the size of Singapore. This year's Trident will see soldiers from the 3rd Battalion Singapore Guards conduct assaults by landing via fast crafts and chinooks from the RSN’s vessels. Read more
