There are incidents that occur on deployments that as a first priority require everyone's immediate attention and then get to the paperwork of informing those who need to know first. Our families are the first among these. Sometimes, however, news gets out before all the facts are known, especially if the incident occurs some distance from the task group base. That info is generally just speculation and very unhelpful to those of us concerned about who might be involved, but it sells news! Rest assured we deal in fact and that takes a little time to get right. We'll tell you as much as we can be sure of, as quick as we can. Keep in touch with your unit duty staff / Unit Welfare Officer and know your soldier's PMKeyS number!

We will have a 'Grand Opening' by the President of Townsville RSL Sub Branch - Rod McLeod, AM on Sunday 20 July. We'll unveil the Sponsors Board. Soon thereafter we've got another 1/4 million dollars to spend on Geckos!!!!
