Well known local man Christopher James ‘Chris’ has recently completed his training as a Royal Australian Navy Recruit. Chris’ training began on 26th September and concluded on 8th December. He was part of the Lonsdale Class of Cerberus, Melbourne, who completed their passing out parade last Thursday. Chris will spend 18 months at Cerberus, commencing in January 2017. At the completion of this training he will be posted to Perth where he will work on submarines for six years. Attending the parade were his father Barry James, brother Ben James and fiancé Jacinta, and Mellisa (Christopher’s Girl friend), Christopher’s Grandmother Mrs Mavis Cassidy of Temora and Alison Cassidy. Christopher is the grandson of Ron & Nell James of Harden (Deceased). Melbourne turned on its usual unpredictable weather for the parade.
