hey u cant just go to adfa and be in the reserves?? or do u hav to be in the real army??

 

[punkerific_darz]

I had two friends apply for ADFA. They didn't make it in though. I think what you study depends on what you want to get into. I guess study physics so you can become a mechanic or whatever. You also have to do a physical so you have to be fit and all that. Besides that I don't know.

i'm going to ADFA i leave on the 19th of jan so you better ask any questions you need answered quick

if you go to ADFA you will you be an officer in either the Army Navy or Air Force you wont be a member of the reserves... so yes you will be in the full time defence force

 

[hatty]

[Barbie_Bitch]

I'm goin to ADFA!!! sooo excited!!!

as for preparing myself...I've taken up soccer coz they love ppl who are in teams...i also do yoga and bellydancing...lol...i know bellydancing sounds stupid but man it builds up ur stomach muscles!!! yeah...oh and i walk every day and I do gym!!! my brothers friend joined and he said that you need a group sport cos everything is group orientated so yeah...

as for study I'm going to be taking a bridging course in mathematics cos i did general this year ad you need mathematics in the navy...also I'm doing advanced english and 2 social sciences(is that what they're called???)!!! they're not much else I can do...I just gotta work my ass off to get a good UAI!!!

 

[chip]

what job are you looking at doing in the navy barbie_bitch?

i'm joining the navy so feel free to ask any question you need answered

 

[Barbie_Bitch]

im going to train up as a Seaman Officer...and b4 everyone starts...SHUTUP!!! lol...but yeah...got no questions....my dad's a Vietnam Vet from the Navy so I'm all good!!! what about you???

 

[chip]

I'll be a seaman officer as well - specialisation navigation. so you'll know then that navy officers dont go to ADFA until the second year? we spend a year at HMAS Creswell learning about the NAvy and actually spent six months in the fleet. as a result we are commissioned officers when we get to ADFA and actually get paid more.

 

[Barbie_Bitch]

yeah. i heard that. its a pretty cool deal. it gives me a good year to get over the hsc so i love the plan! hehehe. maybe you'll be stuck with meeting me one day. HAHAHA. sorry. my friends said they feel sorry for anyone i meet in there. they're jerks. lol. but yeah. i still cant wait to join. im hanging out for this year to end so i can get started!

 

[White Rabbit]

So you'll be startin adfa in 2005 Barbie? sweet! How the Navy midshipmen thing works is pretty sweet

I'm starting at Wollongong this year (B.Sci) but applying to transfer to adfa for 2005 - just doing Arts (history) - but I hope to become a Navigator/Airborne Tactician in the RAAF, so, fingers crossed I get in But good luck kids

..Just as an afterthought, why doesn't ADFA have it's own sub forum? I mean, It's a pretty big part of UNSW, you'd think they'd get a sub forum too... Mods?? Please

 

[Barbie_Bitch]

yeah im going in 2005 if i get in *crosses fingers*

HAHAHAHAHAHA....im going to be following the white rabbit to adfa!!! maybe adfa is the hole?!?!

and finally i would like to agree...adfa's huge and it still doesnt have its own forum...how rude...r.u.d.e!

 

[chip]

so you've finished year 12 barbie_bitch? because i though you were in year 12 this year. but if your not we'll be on the same course how cool....
i'm doing NEOC this year and then starting ADFA next year. i was appointed on friday which was cool......
anyways ADFA for me in 2005 after i'm all trained and commissioned and stuff

 

[Xayma]
