Sgt Jagmeet Singh moved to Australia in December 2006 and walked into Defence Force Recruiting in January 2007, the Australian Defence Ministry stated.

"I think I was the first to wear a turban in the Air Force. Since then, I have helped my instructor mates by teaching others how I wear the turban and position the badge," Singh said as quoted by the ministry.

"I hope my efforts have paved the way for future generations," he continued.

In the statement, he emphasised that representing the Australian Air Force in India on Indo-Pacific Endeavour 23, was one of his career highlights.

"To come back to my birth country, wearing the flag I serve, I just felt very proud. I wasn't just doing my logistics role, I took on an informal role as a linguist and the local guide. It's a great feeling to be a link between two countries, helping break down cultural and language barriers," the statement added. (ANI)
