Base Wagga (LCDR Pat Nolan) is where the ADF’s young men and
women learn about aircraft. Many are members of the RAN recently
graduated from the basic recruit school at HMAS Cerberus.
They are therefore part of the “flock” of SYSCOM’s
senior chaplain, Monsignor Brian Rayner. SCHAP Rayner recently went
to the base to meet and greet the sailors and their officers and
to hear any of their problems.
Brian says he doesn’t get to visit the 150 or so Naval personnel
at Wagga nearly enough, particularly as he feels his duty of pastoral
care is paramount. He added that any visit seemed welcome and that
it was an excellent opportunity to renew acquaintances with LCDR
Pat Nolan an old Albatross collegue.
