My fifth time at RIMPAC, the world's largest international maritime exercise, provided the opportunity to thank #YourADF personnel for their contribution to the exercise including the Commanding Officer and Crew of @Australian_Navy guided missile destroyer HMAS Sydney. 🇦🇺
Privileged to address future leaders of #AusAirForce at the IOC 03/26 Dining-In-Night. A poignant final engagement as SEAC, returning to where I served as WOD.
To the graduates: leadership is a human endeavour. Standards aren't declared, they are demonstrated. Hold the line. – at Australia
