I SERVED MY COUNTRY, I NOW WANT TO SERVE MY PEOPLE OF MADANG
by JERRY SINGIROK MBE, DMS. I was born and raised on Karkar Island and went to Asaroka Lutheran High School then to Sogeri Senior High and joined to the PNGDF despite being accepted to read Law at UPNG in 1975. I graduated as a Second Lieutenant in 1976 and joined the infantry corps spending all my first 18 years in the field. I served overseas as an exchange officer with USA Military in 1982 with British Army on 1984 and seconded to the Australian Army in 1991-93. I had travelled extensively. In between I graduated in Military Arts and Science and a graduate of Australian Management Institute and undergraduate of Southern Cross University for an MBA. For my thesis I successfully completed my thesis on Military and it's application in International Relations and Diplomacy. I was posted to the Land Warfare Centre Canungra Qld as a leading instructor in Military Mobilisation in times of conflict and maneuver warfare in 1992-83. I was a Visiting Fellow at ANU in 2004
