23.01.2022 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

22.01.2022 Our next Cadet that we will profile is our CDTRSM Abi Davis I’m Abi Davis and I joined cadets as I was previously hoping to move onto a career within the ADF. ... I am currently the Cadet Regimental Sergeant Major for Tasmania Battalion. The biggest highlight of my cadet career would be the Adventure Training Award in 2018. I went to Majura Military Training Area in Canberra with 5 other cadets from Tasmania and spent a week participating in activities that pushed me both mentally and physically. Another highlight would be my warrant officer course in South Queensland in early 2019. It was a unique experience that showed me more about myself and and the differences in how the organisation works around the nation. I am currently studying Paramedicine at UTAS and will graduate in early 2022. I also work two jobs in my free time. When I finish my degree I am hoping to practice as a paramedic either within Australia or internationally, wherever it takes me! My advice to any Cadet would be to accept any opportunity that is given to you and apply yourself in every aspect of that. Also be open minded to constructive criticism as this will shape you both as a leader and a person.
