Training – Profiles

"When I manage to get some time alone, I reflect on how my life has changed over the period that I have been in training."

“Jump up! Wake up!  Get moving! Is the sound that I awake to each morning.  I have to face the reality of not being at home and now subjected to gruesome military training.

“It has not been an easy transition from civilian life, I no longer make my own rules; I was used to being the one in charge.  However, it is a worthwhile and overwhelming experience to be able to go through recruit training.”

“Training can be very competitive and it was a surprise when my Squad Corporal, Corporal Witter informed me that I was a probable candidate for the Academic Award for this Intake.”

OCdt Brian Lundy not only captured the second runner up prize in the Academic Award for Intake 84, but he was recommended and was successful in the Officers’ Selection Board. He departed for the Royal Military Academic, Sandurst, England in January 2002 where he commenced his basic officer training. We wish him all the best and every success on his course.
