Message from the new Unit Welfare Warrant Officer
Since the last issue of the IMJIN , I had been heavily involved in ensuring that all electrical power support for HQ ARRC was at full operational readiness if my department within Gurkha ARRC Sp Bn ( Power Troop ) were to be tasked .

Six months later , I have added another string to my bow and have become part of the Innsworth Station Welfare Team . Today , I am honoured to be introducing myself as the Unit Welfare Warrant Officer ( UWWO ) for such a very unique and diverse community here in Innsworth Station . I am very thankful to my predecessor WO2 Tony Heatlie ( Royal Artillery ) for the smooth handover and my easy transition into the role . As part of his handover , he stated and I quote “ You are an Engineer , it will be easy for you ” unquote , well he was probably trying to hint about the Winter season and the broken boilers which Capt Gibson ( UWO ) is an expert on . I do believe it will be an enjoyable and challenging 6 months for me whilst covering Power Tp SSgt and also as the UWWO .
I hope that my tenure here in the dept and with my knowledge , experience and the vibrant “ BULA ” smile , that I can offer the Welfare dept a positive impact for our community and all service personnel and your families . My main effort in this role is engaging and being of service to you all with the aim of assisting you in any welfare matters and thus enhancing the operational effectiveness of the unit for 2023 .
