GRANT DIBDEN graduated from the Royal Military College in Duntroon and his career has included commanding the 7th Combat Service Support Batallion and being the lead logistics planner for Australia’s deployment in the Solomons. Grant asked to be reduced three ranks, from Colonel to Captain, so as to become an Army Reserve Chaplain and this led recently to two months in the Middle East. This week it was announced that Grant will become the Anglican Bishop to the Australian Defence Force.
