One of Victoria's aide-de-camps quits at her work in the end of January.
Commander Ewa Skoog Haslum has been the Flotilla Commander of 4th Naval Warfare Flotilla.
Now she as the first woman ever, has been chosen as the vice chancellor of the Swedish Defence University.
- I did my military service in Karlskrona in 1987 and after that I moved to Stockholm and since then I have educated myself and worked in the Navy. So I have lived more years in Stockholm than in Torekov, says Ewa Skoog Haslum.
She began her career as a radio operator on HMS Stockholm. Since it has been almost 30 years in the Swedish defense.
- I don't regret a second that I chose this path. It has given me so much experience and knowledge both in and outside Sweden.
Now she has taken a leave of absence from the Armed Forces to work as a vice chancellor at the Swedish Defence University the next four years.
- Of course I'm very honored that I got this position. I will be a link between the Swedish Defence University and the Armed Forces.
She starts at her new job on March 1, 2017, but she was appointed as early as 1st December 2016.
Before that, she will work one month for Crown Princess Victoria.
- One month every year for the past seven years I have been aide-de-camp to Crown Princess Victoria and I was booked for January 2017. So I start my service there on New Year's Eve. But it is the last time I work as an aide-de-camp. An admiral can't be an aide-de-camp.
Then she gets a month to familiarize herself with the new job at the Defence University.
- I've been in the military for almost 30 years, but now I get new tasks and it will be fantastic to deal with them, says Ewa Skoog Haslum with both determination and humility in her voice.
