Andrew Nicolas

Cadet Recruit
I was a bit nervous at first, but everyone’s so friendly! We do the coolest stuff – like hiking, building shelters, and learning first aid. I’m already making so many friends, and it feels awesome to be part of a team.

Bianca Opasa

Cadet Warrant Officer Class Two
Being a CDTWO2 has been amazing. I get to help lead the company, teach the younger cadets, and help plan activities. It’s challenging, but the sense of responsibility and accomplishment is incredible. The AAC has helped me become way more confident.

Michael Ember

Cadet Corporal
If you’re looking for something different, this is it! Cadets pushes you to try new things and step outside your comfort zone. As a Corporal, I help train the younger recruits, and there’s nothing better than seeing them improve and discover their potential.
