Cadets for me was a challenging, yet forgiving journey full of experiences that has developed me in a way I wouldn’t think was possible.
From the moment I first stepped into the cadet uniform to my current position as a senior cadet in 224 ACU, the journey has been nothing short of transformative. Each step, each challenge, and every triumph has contributed to the evolution of my cadet career, shaping me into the leader I am today.
Leadership courses are a huge part within an individual's cadet career. They help shape and prepare us to take on the next rank and role within a unit, battalion, brigade or even national leadership role.
The greatest knowledge that I have gained within the program is knowing that I met some of my best friends.
The cadet journey is a remarkable odyssey, and mine has been a story of growth, achievement, and an enduring commitment to the values of the Australian Army Cadets (AAC).
