A dedicated group of 29 Air Force officer cadets will mark a milestone in their careers on Friday when they graduate as officers under the watchful eye of Chief of Air Force, Air Vice Marshal Graham Lintott.
The 2pm ceremony and parade, to be held at RNZAF Base at Woodbourne, marks the completion of the Air Force’s Initial Officer Training Course.
The 21 week course is run twice per year and aims to develop leadership and military skills and introduce aspiring officers to the RNZAF.
The graduates can now look forward to being posted as pilots and other air crew or into logistics and operational support positions.
