Thanks to Cdr Cozens and his team and to Babcock International for the constructive discussions.
Thank you Commander VCC for being a driving force behind the VCC over 3 decades. As the first member of the VCC to go from Cadet to CO, you have inspired many young people across the country. It was an honour to present your Valedictory Certificate at our Cadets dinner.
