ADFA graduation
13 December 2007
The next wave of Navy, Army and Air Force officers successfully graduated from the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) today and will soon begin postings to establishments around Australia to continue their training.
The Commandant of ADFA, Captain Peter Murray (RAN), congratulated 222 Navy Midshipmen and Army and Air Force Officer Cadets at what was the Academy’s 21st anniversary Graduation Parade.
“Since joining the Australian Defence Force Academy these men and women have successfully completed a three-year academic and military training program. Their military and leadership training, combined with undergraduate studies through the University of New South Wales at ADFA, has developed the fundamental knowledge, professional skills and qualities of character they will need as young officers in the Australian Defence Force," Captain Murray said.
To honour the graduating class, an Air Force C-130J Hercules aircraft from RAAF Base Richmond conducted a flypast over the Parade Ground and the ADFA cadet body.
