FLASHBACK: Corporal Todd Atkinson, Cadet Sophie Riley and Cadet Shaun McAleer had fun teaching the fine arts of camouflage and concealment at last year’s Open Day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

February 8, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wondai’s 135 Army Cadet Unit will be having two recruitment intakes this year – one this Sunday, February 11 and another in June.<\/p>\n

The reason for the change is the minimum age for recruitment has been raised from 12 years, 6 months to 13 years.<\/p>\n

This means potential recruits who don’t meet the minimum age limit this weekend can have a second chance to sign up later this year.<\/p>\n

The cadets will be holding an Open Day at their Bramston Street depot between 10:00am and 2:00pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Open Day will be offering a sausage sizzle lunch at noon, a presentation about the basics of enlistment and demonstrations of some of the many activities cadets get involved in.<\/p>\n

There are currently 20 army cadets based at the depot, which has the capacity to handle 39.<\/p>\n

Wondai Cadet Officer Captain (AAC) Andrew Sampson said the first two years of a cadet’s training concentrated on developing practical and leadership skills.<\/p>\n

After this, older cadets pass these skills on to younger cadets.<\/p>\n

Cadets receive basic training as well as adventure training, bush training and field engineering drills.<\/p>\n

They can also take part in a week-long away camp with the other South Queensland cadet branches in September.<\/p>\n

Wondai Cadets meet at the depot every second Sunday.<\/p>\n

After the Open Day, new recruits will get set up with their uniforms and other gear on February 26.<\/p>\n

Training will start in earnest the fortnight after that.<\/p>\n

Anyone who\u2019d like more information about the unit is welcome to phone Andrew on 0408-623-621.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
