One female cadet was among 28 army cadet officers who graduated from their training at Igam Barracks in Lae today.
Officer Cadet 813604 Katega Georgina from New Ireland Province was the only female alongside the 27 male cadets who completed a tough two years of officer cadet training.
A slight shower in the morning and the cool breezes from Busu River brushed away the clouds to make it a fitting day for the passouts.
The parade was reviewed by Prime Minister Peter O'Neill and hosted by Commander Gilbert Toropo, attended by Defence Minister Dr Fabian Fok, CIS Commissioner and Momase police chief Nema Mondiai, among others.
The parade ground was packed to capacity with school children and relatives of the graduates and those who turned up to witness the Morobe Show.
