The
armiger first
began thinking
about assuming
armorial
bearings in 2016
upon completion
of eight years
of faithful and
distinguished
service to God
and country;
coinciding with
the beginning of
his pursuit of a
law degree.
During his
service, the
armiger
volunteered for
the submariner
corps and,
during his
tenure as a
member of this
Naval Special
Operation Corps,
he was awarded
the Meritorious
Service Medal,
Meritorious Unit
Citation, Navy
Expeditionary
Medal, National
Defence Service
Medal, Global
War on Terrorism
Medal , Sea
Service
Deployment
Ribbon, and Navy
Arctic Service
Ribbon. The
Dolphins
represent the
twin Dolphins
depicted on the
submariner's
badge, a much
prized honour
requiring
laborious tasks
and superb
attention to
detail; these
actions cement
participants
into a lifelong
brotherhood.
The sword
represents the
years of service
to country as a
devoted sailor,
serving on
multiple
campaigns and
sea tours.
The armiger
chose to have
the mantling
depicted in
Gules and
Argent; Gules
for military
strength and
leadership and
Argent to
represent
honesty and
peace in the
pursuit of the
law.
The motto, “Ego
Latent Sub
Undis, Ego Sum
Magister
Bestia”', may be
paraphrased as
“I Lurk Beneath
The Waves, For I
Am Master Of The
Beast”.
