After 13 weeks of training, 60 Air Force recruits have stepped up to a career in the Royal New Zealand Air Force.
In front of family and friends the
graduates, from Command and Recruit Training Squadron,
yesterday marched out onto the parade ground at Air Force
Base Woodbourne in front of the Chief of Air Force Air
Vice-Marshal Graham Lintott, ONZM, Reviewing Officer for the
parade.
The parade included a drill display, a
physical training display and a performance of the RNZAF
Haka, Ko Te Taua-A-Rangi. Taua-A-Rangi means ‘war party of
the sky’.
The training the recruits receive is
challenging and is designed to prepare new enlistees for
service in the RNZAF. It equips airmen and women with the
self-confidence, discipline and sense of responsibility to
tackle the further demands of their specialist
training.
