Volume 25 www.legionnl.com 133 Newfoundland Labrador Command FORWARD, E.G. (George) Captain, RCN (Ret) Born and raised in Brigus, Captain George Forward got his ‘naval’ start with NLCC Vickers Vimy and RCSCC Effie M. Morrissey and joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1989. He graduated (barely) from the Royal Military College in 1995 with a BA in Commerce and a collective sigh of relief from the faculty. Upon graduation, he immediately joined the east coast fleet serving in HMC Ships TERRA NOVA, ST. JOHN’S and IROQUOIS before completing two Head of Department tours in FREDERICTON and ATHABASKAN as Supply Officer. Ashore, he has had the honour of serving in Alert, Bosnia, the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, and Africa and with the DART in Pakistan. After completing a Masters in Defence Studies and the Joint Command and Staff Course, he served with CEFCOM, ADM (Fin CS), and with the Directorate of Maritime Logistics. He commanded Task Force Darfur in Sudan and headed the Joint Logistics Operations Centre of UNAMID before assuming command of Formation Logistics in Halifax along with the mantles and responsibilities of N4 of MARLANT and J4 of Joint Task Force Atlantic. After a year of second language training, Captain Forward was posted to the Strategic J4 of the Strategic Joint Staff where he studied and wrote on the governance structure of the Defence Global Supply Chain. Following his time with the SJS, Captain Forward finished his naval career as the Director of Military Pay and Allowances Processing before retiring from active service to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Commandant of the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires, Newfoundland and Labrador Division. Captain Forward has written novels chronicling fictional members of the Pomeroy family of outport Newfoundland. ‘Pomeroy’s Quay’ is the first to be published and, judging by the sales, the only one. Captain Forward enjoys all manner of outdoor activity and now returned to Newfoundland, looks forward to sailing and diving on and in the Atlantic. He married far above his station to Ms. Jennifer Barry and they have two girls, Isabella and Aislin, whom he credits for his extensive knowledge of dolls, crayons and Peppa Pig.
