Are you aged between 12\u00bd or 18 and running out of ideas of what to do on the weekend or holidays?<\/p>\n

Then the Australian Army Cadet Unit at Nanango would love to hear from you …<\/p>\n

Army Cadets teach teenagers the value of friendship, self-discipline, respect and a spirit of adventure. They also aim to instil the Army values of teamwork, initiative and moral courage.<\/p>\n

Captain (AAC) Liane Kerr, from\u00a0123 ACU Nanango, says cadets are offered challenging and inspiring experiences as well as valuable life and work skills.<\/p>\n

There are more than 200 cadet units in Australia and over 40 in South Queensland alone.<\/p>\n

“Most of your equipment is provided to you upon your entry to the organisation,” Captain Kerr said.<\/p>\n

“Annually, South Queensland Army Cadets attend a week-long camp which involves first year cadets participating in a navigational exercise by day and by night, quick-decision exercises, an overnight stay at Enoggera Army Base which involves a number of guest speakers and participation in an obstacle course and simulated weapon firing.<\/p>\n

“All Australian Army Cadets are trained and supervised by qualified Army Cadet staff.”<\/p>\n

Cadets are also offered opportunities to demonstrate their leadership potential.<\/p>\n
