Senior enlisted leaders from seven countries tour the USS Tortuga as part of a Senior Enlisted Professional Military Education lesson Feb. 10. The SEPME is the first time in Exercise Cobra Gold history in which multinational senior enlisted leaders are all together in one panel. The five-day program included sixteen senior enlisted leaders from the United States, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. “We are able to learn from each other and take the knowledge back to our countries,” said MWO Sivagnanam, “As a senior enlisted leader it is our responsibility to train to a higher level and make the next generation of our militaries greater than the current.” Sivagnanam is a sergeant major with the Singapore 9th Division Infantry.
