From October 1 2009 Navy Phots no longer will exist. While retaining the camera badge they will become an IS (Image Specialist) reflecting changing roles with an emphasis on intell work. Quite sad actually but the Phot. Branch has had many sponsors over the years. After leeuwin we were in the seaman world (scary) for 6 months and did our seatime on the Quickmatch before returning to Albatross as “Birdies”.
