Week 9 - Waller Division Intake 267

4 May 2009

Throughout this week Canberra, Melbourne, Newcastle and Darwin Class recruits attended two days of RAN First Aid where the recruits have to be deemed competent with administering first aid treatment for a wide variety of circumstances including CPR.

As well as first aid, these classes also conducted more locker inspections, participated in more armed and unarmed drill and attended character guidance. Character guidance is instructed by the RAN Chaplains which gives the recruits a few pointers and tools with dealing with some of the stresses involved with life in the RAN.

Recruit Comment

"I really enjoy the PT and the outside instruction as in survival at sea, combat survivability etc. I am slowly getting used to locker inspections and can’t wait till we graduate."; RCT Ivanka Zeko (Brisbane Class) from Gold Coast, QLD.
