Outstanding Service Honoured
Commander Training Group, Group Captain Stephen Davies-Howard honoured 13 Royal New Zealand Air Force personnel during a medal presentation parade at Base Woodbourne on 14 December 2009. For many, it represented a considerable milestone in their service history.
GPCAPT Davies Howard noted the importance of these presentations and thanked the recipients for their outstanding service. He also acknowledged the hardships borne by their partners and families and said that the recognition was as much for the families as it was for the recipients because postings and overseas duties often seemed to coincide with moving house, the birth of children or other stressful times.
