Team, Regular Army Corporal here. Good to see the positivity in the comments and the enthusiasm from everyone. Good job to Cadet Innes on the upload. If anyone is interested in a future career in the army or just have any general questions feel free to ask here.
@The Harry and Hugh Club I enlisted as Infantry. I now work in logistics (warehousing). Highlights. Where to even begin. You'll see cool shit that most civvies will never get to experience in their lifetime. An example, my last field ex I had the opportunity of launching a UAV drone, riding in the turret of an armoured vehicle, watching a Tiger attack chopper level the side of a mountain and things of that nature. You will learn, attain and appreciate the fitness that Army will get you, seeing your body go from skinny to muscular powerhouse is something that is beyond words. But most of all the brotherhood and comraderie that you develop with your Platoon is like no other employment in the world. Your unit becomes your family, born from the bond of being in the shit together. It's not all fun and games though, there are shit times to balance out these good moments.
As a cadet corporal this is a helpful video of you are new to cadets or planning on joining, and rules for cadets can vary from unit to unit so read more on the unit you are in or joining to get more info on your unit
After finishing my application I emailed the cadet dudes multiple times asking when it starts,three months later we got an email back in January saying that cadets go back in February ( didn't specify when) then in the last week of February we get another email saying it starts in one week. I was so excited, but the night before it started we get an email saying that they messed up the paper work or something, and that cadets was postponed. Then a week after that the biggest floods in Australian history happens thus flooding my area and the town of the cadet unit. Now it's postponed until term 2 ( happy days ) oh well at least I've got something to look forward to :D
@@aussielegend20 uh well- i don’t think you’d know me. I had my first real night on friday. Literally this friday that just passed. My last name is nehl
I got accepted couple days after signing up but can vary for every Unit or Time of year, you applied. I also did mine Online so not sure if that changed anything.
Thanks mate for the vid helps me a ton in deciding and info about cadets. At the moment I’m not sure if l want to join the airforce cadets or the army cadets next year.
most important thing to note, be hygienic and avoid being in army cadets

Thanks mate for the vid helps me a ton in deciding and info about cadets. At the moment I’m not sure if l want to join the airforce cadets or the army cadets next year.
Army is better and more locations closer! Air Force is hard to find location and its not that much fun and yiu don’t do as much!
Joined the AAFC last week!
@@TheKnifeG For me because I’m more into aviation I decided to join the air cadets but army is probably more fun because you get to do more drills!
Navy cadets are the best mate
ay bro why so aggresive?
I’m joining cadets in a couple weeks
Same mate, I’m going on Thursday.. I’m pretty excited but nervous
Same lads 😂
7:48 I love hats, joining AAC next yr.
3:30 gotta stay hydrated.
Should I join army cadets or do I train my self and wait till I am 17 to apply for the real army
Definitely join Army Cadets, get some experience.
Join the Army cadet's (if u have not already) and wait till ur 17 u can stay as staff or do a option to where they help you join the real army

I’m actually scared to do it idk why I did some shit like a year ago idk if cause of that I cant
I'm still trying to get the straw out of my bush hat and the yoghurt out of my webbing from bat-biv
What do you do in cadets if you’re 13? Cos I am turning 13 soon and the thing says you need to be 13 to join
Idk, I’m joining next year when I’m 13 too
I’m not so sure, but from my experience in Air Force Cadets, we do drill (marching) and other stuff like that.
You will be in ranks and go on camps survival at its finest and gun training and shooting and first aid and marching
12 and a half
As an ex corporal in cadets I really enjoyed it, the only thing I got to say is resew that name tag
Hey man.. you got any advice for me, I have just signed up and I’m 13.. but I’m a bit nervous about how it will be for me.
@@seancooper9563 haha yeah it’s great, it depends from squadron to squadron but it definitely helped me with securing a nice government job
I joined and came to see what it's like
