RAA Liaison Letter – 2025 / 2026 Edition 39 REGIMENTAL FAREWELLS NOTICE OFFICERS LEAVING THE REGIMENT AFTER 20 PLUS YEARS OF SERVICE If you wish to be formally farewelled from the Regiment provide your post Army contact details (prior to separation) to the SO2 HOR (Major DT (Terry) Brennan). Whilst it is appreciated transition from military to civilian life is a busy period, if you do not provide your contact details it is highly probable that you will not receive an invitation to be farewelled. This not because the Regiment does not wish to farewell you – it is simply that the HOR staff does not have visibility of when you leave the Army or your post-service contact details. Eligibility: Full-Time and Part-Time officers who have completed 20 or more years effective service. Options: Full-Time officers who, have 20 plus years’ service, prior to transition to Part-Time service may elect to be farewelled at the end of their Full-Time service rather than wait until they have fully retired. It is entirely up to you. Please advise HOR staff of your intention as part of your transition. Information required: Full-Name; Postal Address (non-military); Email (non-military); Mobile (nonmilitary) SO2 HOR can be contacted on: Email: terry.brennan59@yahoo.com.au and/or Email: terry.brennan@defence.gov.au Mobile: 0419 179 974 NOTE: YOU ARE ENTITLED TO ONE FAREWELL WARRANT OFFICER & SNCO FAREWELLS For further information on eligibility etc contact the Regimental Master Gunner - WO1 Tony Charles.
