LACW Rosaleen Normoyle
A clerk with the Air Force, Leading Aircraftwoman (LACW) Rosaleen Normoyle turned 30 while deployed overseas with a C-130 detachment.
Although LACW Normoyle did not want to make a big fuss over her birthday, it turned out the detachment was having an Austin Powers theme night the same night.
“Heaps of us girls dressed up as 60’s chicks,” LACW Normoyle says.
The former Carine SHS student has been in the Air Force for about four years and usually works at the Queensland-based 382nd Expeditionary Combat Support Squadron.
Her first deployment to the Middle East, she works as a registry, personnel and leave clerk.
“There’s plenty of variety in my position, which is good because I get bored if I’m not challenged,” she says.
“Sometimes it’s a race against the clock to get the work done in time.”
A martial arts and running enthusiast, LACW Normoyle recently took her mid-deployment leave and traveled to Europe.
Part of her travels included Ireland, her birthplace, where she met cousins she hadn’t seen since she was four years old.
