Hey guys, I'm no longer a cadet and therefore won't be able to answer your questions without potentially getting things wrong. But, a quick Google search will usually point you in the right direction. Thanks for watching.
@@baileyrobinson4267 Hey I'm 17 and I did a quick search and they say I can't join when you're 17... Can I do this for the Adults one? When I'm 18... It seems that I won't be able to join until I'm 18 since none of them allows 17-year-olds in... You have any clue?
I'm joining the AAC next year when I'm 13 Iv been waiting to join since I was 9 and Iv been interested in the military since I was 6 years of age, I got a tour of the unit I'm joining and it's on of the most equiped if not the most equiped unit in all of Australia (its in Queensland)
Air Force Cadet here. I'm entering my third year of cadets and honestly it's not that much different to the AAC. Apart from the fact that we are a part of the Chair Force, we also go on bivs and Exercises. I got a four day one coming up next month. Although you may not see this, your videos bring nostalgic feelings that not many kids get. The feeling of being out scrub with your mates and sleeping under the stars, its honestly one of the best experiences you can have as a kid. Anyways, hope you're doing well mate. Follow your dreams ✌
I was in the 11 ACU up in Brisbane QLD for two years are a teenager, I’m now 24 and all I can say to the young lads that want to join the cadets is DO IT. Some of the best experiences of my life came from my years in the cadets, and the camps really are dope af.
im doing army cadets in queensland and its my second year. i love army cadets its fun and you learn so many things like over coming your fears and weaponary skill.
Baby Bear I did cadets for 2 years, realistically it’s just teenagers playing dress up, while it does teach useful skills like ironing and such, you kind of get over it when over zealous WO2’s are asking you to salute them
I’m sixteen in cadets. I joined this year. I’m seeing all the thirteen years olds joining now and to be honest I wish I had to. I’ve been wanting to go to the army since l was four. Wanting to join cadets since l was six, started training when l was fourteen. It took years of fighting and convincing my parents, that I’m going to the army and not some bullshit, English teacher job. I love it, have fun kids 🤙🖤.
I am currently 14 and wanting to join but my school won’t have a unit until I’m 15. I’m just nervous that everyone my age will have been in for a lot longer and I’ll be the only clueless one of my age group.
Yeah man the exact same with me, ive been wanting to join the army since i was two and i found out about the cadets when i was 7 and im now nearly 14 but i had to fight to convince my mum to let me join but now i can!
You'll most likely only experience a lot of these things on Tier 2 & 3 of Annual Camp, which you won't get to do until you're probably 15 (Tier 2) and 16+ (Tier 3)
Peeps iwm I didn't mean there was an age restriction for Tier 2, I just meant by the time he's doing Tier 2, Janelle will probably be 15 or there abouts. Tier 3 is 16+ only, though.
Ohhhh God, I'm actually 13 and I'm joining the Aussie army cadets this year, I'm so excited 😬😬😬 nd i need the little advise I can get J, ( mine is in the NT)
i joined in june last year and it was honestly one of the best decisions ive ever made. the best advice i can give you is to apply yourself, focus and nominate for everything. put in heaps of effort. nominating for activities and courses will give you a good chance to be seen and respected as well as a better chance for promotion. also, don’t be scared to make friends. most of my closest friends were made at cadets.
@@charlotte-gw4ol hey charlotte. you commented asked what my unit was in another comment. I couldn't find that comment. but my unit is 125 Rockhampton.
i wanted to do this but once i turned the legal age limit i was like fuck that i aint doing it.... looks like i fucking missed out on a fun adventure and my life is fucking shit now
Are GoPros/Action Cameras allowed in bivs at all? I noticed some people using them in videos like these and I was wondering if a normal cadet can record in the field.
Hey mate I’m 12 and I’m really confident about joining the army so I’m looking into joining the army cadets and I’m a great aim with a firearm but do you have any tips?
BRODOG16 it is literally the easiest thing you could probably do, there are no fitness requirements or anything, just get your hair cut and put some degree of effort in
Hi I have decided to join and I was only recently told by a friend who used to do cadets that the next recruitment was term 4 but they haven't replied at all telling me anything about recruitment and it has been atleast 4 weeks since I emailed. I was wondering if the only message back at recruitment or this unit is unorganised or something please help
Visit cadetnet.gov.au and look for the "find a unit" feature. It should have a contact number that you can call on parade nights. They will be able to answer your questions about joining the unit.
Jayden Monaghan yeah well i have already called them on the parade night went straight to voicemail and that was about two weeks ago and no call back or even a voice message
They recruit year round depending on how full they are. When I spoke to the Captain of my Cadet Unit he said that the phones were on loan from the Army and, therefore, were either unmanned or not working to begin with. Just go in while they're parading but *don't* disturb the Cadets. You'll find the Captain in an office; usually in a portable building.
@@dream9522 we have ours all the time 24/7. gotta sleep with them in our sleeping bag, take them to the toilet, literally everywhere. we not aloud to.leave them or we get in trouble ha
Get involved in Surf Life Saving. It might not seem it has much in common but it is very helpful. You receive you medical skills at a higher rank than what the Army is trained at. Your fitness level with rocket if you train in the ocean. You receive radio training, same communication as the military. (Using the NATO Phonetic Alphabet) You develop pain tolerance. You develop leadership skill. It's proven that if you have a certification for Surf Life Saving on your application when entering some sort of military wing, you have an 80% better chance at getting a commanding or higher rank. I did Surf Life Saving since I was 6 (Nippers). I'm 18 now and on my 4th year of the ACC Echo Squadron. (Different to this. We are Australian Commando Cadets. Underage Australian Special Forces.) I'm a Detailed Team Commander and we are the best team in the platoon. I still use just about all the skills I learned from Surf Life Saving. (Plus, it gives me something to fall back on if i ever get discharged). Good luck.
Soz bud, as of July this year they made it so that you have to be 13 when you join :( Ages For Joining the AAC:- Until 30th June 2017 - must be at least 13 years of age (or 12 years of age if they would turn 13 in that calendar year); From 1st July 2017 - must be at least 13 years of age (or 12 years of age if they would turn 13 in that calendar year), and must be in Year Eight (8) of school (or a higher school year) or would normally be in Year Eight (8) of school (or a higher school year) if he / she attended school; From 1st January 2018 - must be at least 13 years of age, and must be in Year Eight (8) of school (or a higher school year) or would normally be in Year Eight (8) of school (or a higher school year) if he / she attended school; and
You can if you want. You get called an airy fairy, but the truth is. You're the backup to the army. When you ground troops get stuck up shit creek without a paddle, you'd better hope you got some Air Force friends to pull your back up that river.
speaking for Tasmania: a cost of $15 is asked each term for unit activities and a charge of $30 for weekends. all uniform and equipment is free (remains army property) and any week long activity is free.
I was just curious, because I want to join the cadets, are you forced to do the activities with heights (like abseiling) if you're really don't want to (because I have anxiety and I am terrified of heights)? That's the only thing in the way :(
Indeed not, you tend to go once a week in NSW and depending on Weekend activities, but it's after school and normally starts at 6PM AEST depending if its a school unit or not. Also, Camps such as AFX and promotion courses are held/hosted in the holidays so not much to worry about.
I wanna be a British cadet, you guys get to fuck around with weapons, but in Australia if you get to "tier" 3 you get to have F88 austyer for a week and get to shoot some other guns
maxie706 it's because the British cadets is very old and invested into by the government a lot unlike Australia where certain units just got the RAVENs which are really old :/
maxie706 as a Aussie army cadet I totally agree it's fucking boring I wish we did the same as u guys but we are not allowed because they say they don't us to become child soilders WTF

Aye, Yr 8 and have to be 13.
Just find it sad that you are not allowed weapons till 16 and not aloud to shout bang?
Question, how much does cadets cost on average? And is it weekly/monthly/annually? Up in Queensland.
speaking for Tasmania: a cost of $15 is asked each term for unit activities and a charge of $30 for weekends. all uniform and equipment is free (remains army property) and any week long activity is free.
+Jayden Monaghan So wait, you pay 15 a term, but then each week you bring $30 dollars?
+Xorvor we have weekend activities throughout the year and charge $30
How many times would that happen? Every weekend?
+Xorvor we parade every Wednesday here, and do exercises (weekends) about 8 or so times a year.
Can any one join that is 13 and a 8 months?
