In this special episode of Unclassified, we talk to the outgoing Chief of Defence Force, Air Marshal Kevin Short, about his almost 50 years in service with the Royal New Zealand Air Force. He reflects on how a self-confessed mischief maker rose through the ranks to the top job, some of the tough calls he’s had to make including the impact of the global pandemic on the NZDF, the changing geostrategic environment, and more.

This series deals with themes of loss of life, grief, trauma, violence and mental health. If you need to talk to someone, here are some support services:
