Greg Lewis RAAF Graduation

Wednesday 25th April is Anzac day and we are grateful for those students who are cadets of The Australian Defence Force (ADF) - Royal Australian Navy (RAN), Australian Army and Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) for their involvement in our Anzac Day commemorations each year at the College.

College Captain 2017, Gregory Lewis, while at the College was one of these most proud and committed cadets who for many years was involved in the services. Greg is pictured In the gallary to the left at our service last year.

We were thrilled to hear that recently on April 11th, 2018 Gregory Lewis graduated from No. 1 Recruit Training Unit - RAAF Wagga.
There was a 1RTU Graduation Parade which was followed by an Awards Ceremony. Gregory received his Graduating Certificate from Air Commodore M. Kitcher. Photos in the gallery.

The night before, families and friends were invited to a Graduation Chapel Service on Base.
At one point during this service all recruits stood and recited the “Airmen’s Code”.

Airmen’s Code:

I am an Australian Airman
I inherit a proud tradition
I follow in the footsteps of many fine Australians
Their Legacy is my future
I am an Australian Airman
The air is our domain
I strive for excellence in all that I do
To protect our skies, our country, the land I love
I am an Australian Airman
I live for my family, work with my mates,
Support my community and fight for my nation
I am a valued member of the Air Force team
I do what is right
I am an Australian Airman
And this is my Code

Last Monday Gregory began his 10 week Air Base Protection course at RAAF Amberley in Queensland.

Congratulations and best wishes from all of us, Greg as you proceed with your chosen career in the Air Force.
