Learn to work together and be part of a team. Seaman Communication Information System - Information Specialist (SMNCIS-I) Grisadarporn Nordisar (left), Seaman Communication Information System - Communications Specialist Alex Meiklejohn and SMNCIS-I Kyle Bergan (right) conduct a fault finding exercise in the Communication Centre Simulator. Being able to identify communications faults and restore data and voice networks quickly, is pivotal and often requires more than one person to fix. An extended delay in the restoration of communications services could be the difference between you pulling into your favourite port or having to stay at sea for another week because the Commanding Officer missed a key message. That is why being part of a team and working together is crucial. At the Maritime Communication Information System Wing, you will learn how to be part of a well respected team, and how to be precise, concise and efficient meaning that your Commanding Officer and ship will remain connected - always! *** Local Caption *** Meet some of the Navys newest communicators currently under training at HMAS Cerberus. Alex, Kyle & Grisadarporn all started their journeys with the Navy through the ANC, they are well on their way to careers in the Information Warfare community.
