Welcome to my Military Psychology Page
For over two decades, I have been a Psychologist in the Royal Australian Navy. I am currently doing a doctoral dissertation through James Cook University in the area of Alternative Crewing Strategies. I have written a few papers on the topic to date, and will add more to this page as they come off the press. Some can be downloaded via Acrobat Reader *.

I've always enjoyed my adventures in the Navy and here are some phots to prove it. Don't believe the myth that you will be tired, cold and homesick in the Navy. I've been sometimes tired, and occasionally cold, but never homesick.
