01.01.2022 Official Media Release - 3 Jan 20, 1700 hours Start Media Release Cancelled // 1/20 Promotion Courses ... It is with great regret that the 1/20 Promotion Courses at RAAF Base Wagga have been cancelled due to a number of contributing factors as a result of the NSW & ACT bushfires. With the State now in a state of emergency, Defence Australia have made the decision to use all bases as a means of evacuation and assistance centres for those affected by bushfires. With the broad nature in locality of our cadets and families across the state, the travelling risks to and from the activity was also a consideration in cancellation. We apologise for the last minute notice but ask for your understanding with the seriousness of this situation. We also ask if you could distribute this message on to cadets, families and friends who may not see this message in time. Any questions or queries, please direct them through your Squadron Commanding Officer.
