Kapooka is long nearly 100 days without a break but you are not alone and within this video are tips and tricks to just get through recruit/ basic training but to thrive and enjoy the new mates that will all be soldiers and on the same journey if not the same end point.

A tip from personal experience. Try not to sleep talk. Stay awake if necessary lol. One guy called out hallway 5 in his sleep and had the whole platoon echo it back (the echo system which you will love) at 3am. We stood in the hallway for an hour with bottom sheet over our shoulders for no good reason till our section commander rocked up in his pj's and told us we're fucked in the head and we should go back to bed.

I went through with 31 platoon in early 2010 and I'm still going.
Good luck to all!
Just think of it as like playing a game you don't know the rules to.
Every phase of your career will get better and more rewarding and tomorrow is where it starts!

This is Brendan's wife (Rachael), Im so proud of my husband for watching your channel religiously in the lead up to yesterday/today. myself and the kids are so proud (whilst also really upset and missing daddy) of him and cant wait to see what he accomplishes while at Kapooka :)

Hehehe l remember there was four in a room in Kapooka and one night one of our comrade said Greg, Tony, Bill are you awake and then his bed started to vibrate, we all had a crack at him the following day, l reckon he would not have blisters on his hand these days.

Thank you so much for all the encouragement you have provided for my son. He is off next Tuesday and you have been an inspiration to him.
God Bless you!

Hi Cas. I am Sas. I got recommendation in the Royal Australian Army Ordnance Corps as Warehouse Coordinator. Kapooka will happen soon for me. My PFA is delayed for a bit because of Shin splints I have. I am motivated and I have overcome the issue but still got to get Sports doctors clearance. Your videos motivate me a lot. I can't wait for the day I go in Kapooka.

Looking exceptionally handsome in this vid Mr Caswell 🥰 the editing is awesome, those transitions 😍 I’m going to miss everyone who’s going but I’m so excited and proud of them ❤️💪

I liked kapooka. 41 echo company 2010 or better known as getto company. We did our training in de-mountable buildings. I only joined chocs and served 8 years and enjoyed most of it. Fitness was key at kapooka for me. A lot of people struggled. One girl at the range tried to fire but kept getting stoppages. It turns out she left the cleaning rod in the barrel :) Lots of memories mostly from people fcking up.

All the best 31 & Ethan. Onya Diamond Bravo.

One of the most important things to remember...is to do complete every task given to you immediately...if you procrastinate the work will back and, you will get behind and never catch up
