On April 30th 2026, we celebrated the age out of CPO1 Mundra, and welcomed the incoming Coxswain, CPO1 Kennedy.
CPO1 Mundra has been in the program for 6 years, he has excelled in all of his pursuits, and he has been a reliable anchor for those around him, providing help, words of wisdom, occasional hugs, and a happy face everywhere that he goes. If you were to ask anyone about CPO1 Mundra, they would say that he is kindhearted, dedicated, and really good at what he does. During his time as the Coxswain of RCSCC 335 Calgary, he organized the group of staff cadets that were working under him, creating a new system that was formed with the goal to serve the cadets in a better way, which allowed for immense growth. Alongside the CO, they were able to create and deploy a new system that allowed for the cadets to have a more direct communication system with the chain of command, allowing for communication to be seamless and efficient. These are changes that have helped and will continue 335 to succeed.
As a sail enthusiast, CPO1 Mundra took every opportunity that h could within the program that was related to sail, in order to improve his skills and become skilled enough to be an instructor, allowing for him to teach his passion to others. This passion brought him to HMCS Quadra, where he was first a course cadet, then a staff cadet, and then in the summer of 2025, he was the Chief of Sail and Aviation, a role that allowed for him to teach, learn about aviation, lead others, and a role that was very well deserved.
During his speech, CPO1 Mundra left the cadets with a meaningful message, saying that “the one thing that I will say to you all is to try everything that you can, make some friends along the way, because at the end of it, you’ll be in this position, when you’re aging out, and those are the key moments you’ll remember. You’ll remember the people who cheered you on, and the people who helped you along the way.”
Bravo Zulu to CPO1 Mundra!!!
