15.01.2022 AFX 2020 Day 5 And that's a wrap for this years AFX. Both Companies have had a fantastic time with a lot of new experiences for most cadets.... Today Bravo Company headed off to the range for the day. Wet and soggy conditions didn't dampen their spirits and a great time was had by all. Alpha Company spent the day at Camp Clayton testing their Courage in several adrenaline pumping activities. Looks like even some of the staff took up the opportunity to test themselves. We were also fortunate enough to have Defence Force Recruiting visit both Companies during AFX. We thank them for their time and effort to visit us in the field environment. Well done to all Cadets, ACS & ADF for your efforts over the past 5 days. It will be an AFX to remember and now we prepare for AFX 2021.

14.01.2022 With less than a week till AFX the staff are busy getting everything ready for both Companies. A couple of photos from last night loading stores ready to head north. We look forward to seeing you all next Wednesday.

13.01.2022 AFX 2020 Day 2 Today was another action packed day for both Companies.... Bravo Company continued on with their activities from day 1 but also had representatives visit from 2FSB, 12/40, Navy Cadets and RSL Tasmania together with our own COMD LTCOL Blazley. The cadets enjoyed the opportunity to speak with the various representatives and ask questions. Tomorrow Bravo Company head out of the barracks into the field for some activities sure to get the adrenaline pumping. Alpha Company continued their training today in preparation for their activities over the weekend. I wonder how many marshmallows didn’t get used for the team building activity! Tomorrow they will be headed for an actioned packed day on the range. Enjoy the snapshot of pictures taken from today.

13.01.2022 Remembrance Day 2020. What will you do to mark this significant date in our history?

12.01.2022 Something to think about if you are considering a career in the ADF.

10.01.2022 AFX 2020 Day 3 Strong winds and blue skies greeted us across the state today. Both Companies were due to head out of the barracks environment for a full day of activities. ... Alpha Company spent the day at the range. All cadets had the opportunity to have a familiarisation shoot with the F88 Austyer and then the senior Cadets had the opportunity to shoot with the F89 Minimi. The cheek to cheek smiles from the Cadets coming off the mounds was a sure sign that they were enjoying themselves. CDTCPL O'Hara was awarded top shot for the day. The COMD presented 2 medallions today to CUO Kenzie & CDTSGT Armstrong for their leadership and works during COVID-19. Bravo Company was heading off today to spend the day in the field with Aardvark Adventures however the winds deemed some of the activities too unsafe. Not to worry, they came to us and spent the day with the Company doing team building activities. The smiles all round was proof that everyone had a great day. Please enjoy these photos taken from around the State today

09.01.2022 AFX 2020 Day1 What a great start we had for the commencement of AFX today. This morning we woke to a drizzly start but the sun soon came out to warm everyone up and set the scene for a fantastic day. With both Alpha and Bravo Company running activities throughout the day it was non stop learning for the Cadets.... At Bravo Company we saw the new Recruits commence their 1A & 1B Recruit training whilst the other cadets took part in either First Aid, Robotics or MRUAS courses. Alpha Company took part in weapons training, field skills and navigation revision in prepardness for their activities later in the week. It sounds like the Amazing Race is going to make a return. A big thank you to all the support staff for your hard work that has gone on in the background to make this AFX one to remember for everyone. Please enjoy a snapshot of photos from the day

07.01.2022 AFX 2020 Day 4 What another action packed day for both Companies today.... Alpha Company headed out into the field for a navigation exercise. Each leg had a series of different activities that needed to be completed. Each activity was based around the CDC combining their skills in first aid, engineering, navigation and team skills. Bravo Company split into two groups today. The senior cadets took part in weapons training led by our ADF Staff in readiness for their day on the range tomorrow. The remainder of the company received a guided tour of Anglesea Barracks learning about the history of the site and a tour through the museum. Later in the day they headed off to Zone Bowling for some healthy competitive 10 pin bowling.

05.01.2022 AFX 2020 A fantastic article in the Mercury on Sunday. Well done Bravo Company

03.01.2022 AFX 2020 With only 2 sleeps to go until AFX 2020 kicks off for the Cadets, the Staff have been very busy behind the scenes ensuring that everything runs smoothly. Over the weekend stores were loaded and delivered across the North and North West of the State. ... Busses have been confirmed, rations ordered and staff are ready and waiting for you all to turn up. We are now ready and waiting for everyone to board the busses on Wednesday morning. Stay tuned to our page for daily updates and photos of the days activities.

02.01.2022 A good insight into how other locations have carried out their AFX's with COVID restrictions. Our own ACOMD LTCOL(AAC) Gatward also features in this document. Worth a quick read.
