Last night, OCDT Yang from SUR was promoted from OCDT to the rank of CAPT. Our SUR Padre Chaplain Frank Langford had the unique honour of promoting OCDT Yang. OCDT Yang, prior to joining the Australian Army, served in numerous ministries.

He will now take up a role within the Royal Australian Army Chaplains department. After this, we had a BBQ celebration, which gave the unit a chance to come together for this great event. Well done, CAPT Yang, from the Commanding Officer and members - we are all proud of your achievement.
