Teeneshwaran is in his element in the sky. The Republic of Singapore Air Force pilot has been flying the C-130 aircraft for 15 years and knows its controls, throttle and the low humming of its engines like the back of his hand.
At a convocation ceremony on April 13, MAJ Teeneshwaran was awarded the Southern Star Medal, which is presented to the best international student officer. A total of 36 international student officers from 27 nations took part in the course. The course, which aims to develop leadership skills and decision-making abilities, involved a six-day work week, said MAJ Teeneshwaran. It consisted of academic lectures on a range of military topics and simulation exercises.
After a month of rehearsing, MAJ Teeneshwaran delivered his presentation smoothly, speaking about the ins and outs of the RSAF without a single cue card in hand.
