  • Australian Army Infantry The Truth is a overview of the qualities and the stoic requirements to serve within the Australian Army Infantry the Royal Australian Regiment and the School of Infantry that is the home of the training of the Infantry soldier and its specialist courses as well as promotion courses and the Infantry Regimental Officers Basic Course.
    The video presentation is called the Truth as it does not gloss over the current watered down nerf version of recruiting ads on main stream ads for the Australian Defence Force the ADF.
    The Royal Australian Regiment is one of one and we need more to be honest and this is a way as an Australian Infantry Veteran I can do my bit to welcome the next generation of capable, brave and resourceful young adults to try a career of adventure and mate ship as well as sacrifice of luxuries such as warmth, comfort and safety.
    Create a legacy and see all that you can be within the Royal Australian Regiment Ecn 343.

      Australia is the last place I would visit. As a US citizen we have it made here. We have the 2nd amnendment and the bill of rights. Austrlalians habe no rights. They qre treated like criminals at every turn by their own government. The US is changing also but its still the most powerful and the greatest country in the world. I have lived in 5 countries and I wouldnt trade my life in the US for anything.

Discharged from hospital but still not fit enough to return to France he was billeted in a family home in Kensington in London along with a British sailor, and both were vying for the attention of the owner's daughter. The Aussies won, and after the war, my Grandmother came out to Australia to marry Grandad. And two generations later, here I am :) It's now a bit of a family pilgrimage if you're ever in London, to go and see the house where our Grandmother grew up as it survived both wars and is still there. I've even been to the closest pub to have a beer, assuming that's the one Grandad would have gone to. Cheers.

The worst days in the green machine are actually the best, as you will ONLY understand once you get to civvy street, as a person, you are 250,000 feet above your civilian team mates.

Then when required uppingthe training and getting them ready for deployment with the regulars. I was lucky that part of the unit was regular army , SGTs WO1s and officers who had been around the block and told me the stories of their deployments.

    If a civilian is unable to join the ADF due to a medical condition, but they are smart enough to get an education, do you have any ideas on what degrees, masters and doctors they could pursue, that would be beneficial to the ADF as non-members? what can a civilian do to be a good support for the ADF members in the civilian setting?

      As far as I am aware as long as your scoliosis doesn't make you unable to complete any of the training you are requred to do, you should be fine. I would definately talk to an ADF recruiter to clarify whether or not you can join. Good luck and remember, duty first!

      Hey Nicole, mate great to hear from you but I must be honest with you from the start and let you know I’m against females in Infantry and I have many reasons for that from experience and also caring..
      I probably can’t change your mind Nicole but I’ll never bullshit you either but sadly recruiting will..
      But to answer your question the very best thing you can do for Infantry prep is a CrossFit gym and let them know your plans and you can’t afford to be injured..
      You have time do use that time but also don’t be naïve and think biology won’t matter when it’s time for the hard yards consider Armoured CORP’s maybe or even engineers but Infantry be smart…

      @@Nicole-jl7it unless it has changed in the last few years, your pack will be a minimum of 20kg for a field ex. Can be more if they throw a radio, extra ammo or a 66 at you. Thats not including body armour, your webbing and ammo, and your weapon. Of course, you certainly will work up to that through kapooka and singo. Then you'll be humping all that shit up and down mountains for klicks on end. Also, you gotta have the strength to fight at the end of all that. Grunt life. Women in combats roles wasnt a thing in my day (they were thinking about it), and although I'm against the principle of it (for many many reasons), I know its not impossible for a woman to cut it.
