As the first group of recruits arrive at the Army Recruit Training Centre, Kapooka for 2018, we share with you what it is like for a day in the life of a Kapooka recruit. Over a 83 day period, recruits progress through increasing levels of physical and mental challenges, learning the basics of soldiering including the use of infantry weapons, navigation, communications, drill, military ethos and leadership. #GoodSoldiering #OurTeam #AusArmy -------------------------------------------------------

Silent steps. Clear objectives 👣 At #AFX25, some senior cadets carried inert weapons in the field as part of their elective, sharpening their movement drills, communication, and teamwork.
