Congratulations to Rear Admiral Amjad Hussain, Royal Navy, the UK's first Muslim admiral:
The Royal Navy has appointed its first Muslim Rear Admiral, Pakistan-born Amjad Hussain, a British newspaper said Friday, April 14. "I count myself very lucky to live in a country where the opportunities have been beyond my imagination," Hussain told The Sun. Rear Admiral is the fourth-highest rank in the Royal Navy, equivalent to a major-general in the Army or an Air Vice-Marshal in the Royal Air Force. Hussain, who has become the highest-ranking ethnic officer among the 200,000 personnel of the British armed forces, said in the Navy one's work is what really matters.
