25.01.2022 WELCOME BACK! Tonight 62 ACU welcomed back all of it’s cadets, including all recruits. This being our first night back with the entire unit, was very much enjoyed by all.... Recruits undertook a Covid workplace induction, before participating in a first aid demonstration. This was followed by a round-robin cadet team competition. A big thank you to SGT Mortell for running a fantastic first aid demonstration! See you all next week!

15.01.2022 AFX 2020 Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the 2020 Annual Field Exercise will be different to previous years. It will involve day-based activities only, with cadet...s returning home at the conclusion of each day. This is an exciting opportunity for cadets to return to a variety of practical Army Cadet activities. A diverse schedule has been planned which includes a variety of team and leadership activities, military skills, extension programs, weapons training, and a live fire shoot. For planning and logistic reasons Cadets (if they haven't already) need to inform their Unit Staff if they are planning on attending AFX ASAP. A Consent Form will be given to the cadet to be signed by the parent/guardian, or by the cadet if they are 18 or over. If you have any questions please contact your unit staff

Bring your own drink bottle & if you wish a towel/exercise mat so you are not directly on the cement. Pickup & drop off times are as per usual. See you all soon! - - - #62acu #armycadetstasmania #PT #NoUniform #fitness #Update #reminder
