Air Force Officers’ Training School opens
14 March 2008
The official opening of the Air Force Officers’ Training School (OTS) coincided with the first Initial Officer Course graduation at RAAF East Sale on Friday 14 March 2008.
The project to build the new OTS and support facilities such as the new Combined Mess cost approximately $60 million. The project was completed on time and budget.
OTS plays a critical role in training Air Force’s future leaders. All Air Force Officers receive their initial Officer training here, before they undertake specialist training.
