‘Recipients of this award have shown they are willing to work hard and strive to excel, that they enjoy a real challenge and are team players,’ said Capt. Rob Mueller, Careers Promotion Team Leader, ADF Recruiting.

‘The ADF needs leaders who are able to adapt to new and at times demanding situations and the education and skills individuals gain from their time at ADFA will set them up to face any challenge,’ he said.
