As the first group of recruits arrive at the Army Recruit Training Centre, Kapooka for 2018, we share with you what it is like for a day in the life of a Kapooka recruit. Over a 83 day period, recruits progress through increasing levels of physical and mental challenges, learning the basics of soldiering including the use of infantry weapons, navigation, communications, drill, military ethos and leadership. #GoodSoldiering #OurTeam #AusArmy -------------------------------------------------------

This one's for you, Colleen ❤️ For 53 years Colleen Pobar was the mainstay of New Zealand’s Lochiel Marching Drill Team. This year's The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Australia was meant to be her swan song, but sadly Colleen passed away in February. So they're putting on a show for her - one last time. | ABC Australia
