    Hi, I'm in the ANC, I wish we had a band like this! I've been thinking about changing services but i'm not sure, it all depends on how I go this year, just an inquiry, if I did change over, say I was a CDT Leading Seamen (equivalent to a CDT Corporal) would my rank carry over in some way? Don't get me wrong, I love being in the ANC, its just in case I get bored.

      Alright I had a mate in the Army Cadets and he was a lance Corporal (like a Leading Cadet) he was given that rank. Sometimes he get changed around a little, in general you will get the equivalent or your rank. Sometimes you may be demoted, it’s all situational.

      @@AusPatriot You will become a cadet corporal as long as your performance is within the standards of the squadron your joining. otherwise they will most likely give you external JNCO training alongside your induction training (learning ranks and stuff about the RAAF). I presume your already strict on your cadets and understand basic leadership qualities?

      Hi, the best thing I can suggest is approach your local Squadron and have a chat with them. The different cadet services have very different training programs, however there may be some skills that qualify for RPL. This would be best discussed with the Squadron Commanding Officer, who will then work with the Wing Staff Officer Training.

    That was really well played! Great work CSGT Berkowitz! I do have to mention that Schindler's List was played with 344 FLT back in 2017, by me (Lachlan Guiney) when I was a CCPL. I know that's it's been quite some time now, but I just found it odd that it was stated that it had never been performed with 344, when my performance is on this channel. Regardless don't let that take away from the CSGT's fantastic performance, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Once again well done Berkowitz and the band!

    Hey 3 wing band, Sounding great! I recently saw the upcoming musicians course in September, is that going to be like the one in April where they will be able to teach cadets how to do the drums?? and is everyone welcome to do it? or is it for people who nominated for the one in April but wasn't able to do it due to how many people attended? Thanks
