gahh I found out I didn't get in.. it sucks.. but I rang up the next day and reactivated my old application.. got a case manager but not a you session yet. Although I may not have to have one coz I've already done one, but I have to go in general entry opposed to officer coz logistics officer is unavailable. :(

Sorry to the guys that didn't get in, but like someone else said, if you are considering a career, go full time!

Dusty and Rizz I guess I'll be seeing you both at Kapooka then :D

ADF gap of uni straight away?.. :S
Personally, i should have done a gap year (to get centrelink :)), altho i dont regrett going to uni straight away,

if u can get into uni and hold a place, then think about deferring if u realy want to, but it depends on what ur mates r doing, if they're doing the same course as you and same uni, then u gotta think, do i want to be behind them if itake this gap year, but if they're at different uni's then it doesn't matter that much.

hey ammelia, i've heard that a lot of girls apply for the navy gap year, but as for army and that i'm not too sure, i have a feeling that army would tend to be more guys than girls, but who knows.

what jobs have u applied for?

Hi ,
Yeah , I agree for the army that it would most likely be male dominated . I like haven't heard of any girls go for the army but im sure there would have to be a few,right .
For the army,operator movement & admin .
Yourself ?

I got enlisted for a rifleman, leavin early january...i'm not even sure if girls can choose that one, cause women in the army can't do combat roles, dunno about for the sake of the gap year though..

i have heard of a few girls going into the army, and there were a fair bit at my you session going into it,i definately hope there will be girls!!!! i know we're not really there to socialize, but i'm only human lol..

what stage u at with ur application

That’s awesome. At the you session that I went to, I was the only girl there not that I was complaining but I was ok then lol. Urm at the stage when like they ring you up and tell you to send all the documentation and stuff for the next part of the process .

well done to every one who has been accepted!

Ah just a question, did everyone who has been enlisted find out on assesment day/ how long after assesment day did you find out?

also are the different states enlisting on different schedules?
