As an Infantry soldier you will work as part of a section. A section consists of nine men working as one to achieve all the tasks no matter how difficult.
It is an important job, with great rewards. Making sure that your ability matches that of your mates builds confidence and allows individuals to strive for greater achievement.
As an Infantry soldier, you are the guy that makes it all happen. The soldier of today is well trained, with a fierce determination for success.
You will learn basic
field craft and a vast array of weapons. But this is not all you
do. You will participate in Adventurous Training activities such
as abseiling and white water rafting.
After you have completed Common Recruit Training (CRT) at Kapooka, 6 weeks in length, you will be ready to start your Initial Employment Training (or ‘IET’ as we call it). We will teach you everything you need, to be a fully skilled infantry soldier.
The IET CSE is conducted
over 2 weeks, followed by on the job training. The training is
conducted at the Infantry Training Centre at Singleton in New
South Wales, and we also run our own courses here in the unit.
This training teaches you all about your responsibilities and
how to join a professional team. All your travel, accommodation
and meals are free. Plus you get TAX FREE pay while you are gaining
your new skill.
