SINGAPORE - When he enlisted for Basic Military Training as a Commando in 1996, Master Warrant Officer Maheswaran Franklin Miranda struggled to pass a 35m swimming test.

Four years later, he found himself swimming 3.2km weekly in the Pacific Ocean for about six months as part of the US Navy Seal course in San Diego. "After I decided to sign on, I got my BMT mates to teach me how to swim, and I was determined to learn." He even jumped as part of the Red Lions, the army's parachute team, at the National Day Parade in 2011 and 2012.
