Other: Matt was a loadmaster at 36 Squadron between 1995 and 2000.   During this time he quite often found himself in the unusual position (for a loadmaster) of being the youngest member of the crew.   At the end of 2000 he was posted to 1 Squadron as the OPSO, where he completed his education and applied for pilot training.   After completing Officers′ Training School, Matt completed ADF 12 pilot course at Tamworth but did not graduate from 193 pilot course in Pearce.   He transferred to the Army in 2003 as a helicopter pilot and was posted to fly Hueys.   His highlight during this time was captaining the Huey which was flown into the AWM for the dedication of the 9 Squadron memorial.   Matt is now a QFI flying Black Hawks at Oakey.
