February 17, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 135 Australian Cadet Unit held an open day at its Wondai HQ today to allow would-be members and their families to find out more about the Army Cadets.<\/p>\n

The unit’s commanding officer, Captain (AAC) Ron Fischer, said 35 people came along, including several children interested in joining.<\/p>\n

Members must be aged between 12 1\/2 and 17 to join.<\/p>\n

135 ACU has members from Kingaroy to Mundubbera. It\u00a0parades every second Sunday at the\u00a025\/49 RQR army base in\u00a0Wondai.<\/p>\n

Coinciding with the open day, a special ceremony was also held to present the 135 ACU with a “pace stick” and a ceremonial sword to use in their training.<\/p>\n

The items were presented to the unit by Don Davey, from the Kingaroy-Memerambi RSL sub-branch, and were formally accepted by cadets Sgt Cory Davey and Sgt Jason Stephens.<\/p>\n

A pace stick is used by a Regimental Sergeant Major to measure distances on parade grounds for ceremonial parades.\u00a0The infantry sword is usually carried by a Cadet Under Officer\u00a0during ceremonial parades.<\/p>\n

Lieutenant (AAC) Shane Davey said the items would be used as training aids by the cadets and when not in use would be kept mounted in a presentation box at the Cadet Unit.<\/p>\n

He said over the school holidays, Sgt Cory Davey and Sgt Jason Stephens had completed Warrant Officer and Cadet Under Officer courses which covered the correct usage of the two items.<\/p>\n

Two other cadets had also completed a sergeant’s course, and one trained as corporal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
