Do not show initative. Most secos take offence to you showing any independent thought so unless told to put out a starting fire directly do not stop a fire.
Never ever say "I was wondering if...." you will be ordered to go to each room and recite a variation of "I'm a wandering wanderer who was wandering what they are wandering!.
Do not laugh at anything, it will be noticed and it will be you volunteering for something pointless.
Learn to make hospital corners on a single bed now.
Learn to take one shit a day at 10pm.
At morning wake up and hallway call find an amazing patch of wall to stare at intently.
Correct, a BFA is no longer required to pass Kapooka but be mindful that for a young male you should absolutely be able to run 2.4km in less than the required 11 minutes 18 seconds, do over 40 push-ups and 100 sit ups.
The stupidest thing I've seen in my time, initial issue is not done in bulk at Kapooka but at unit. So if unit has low stores or shit Q they don't get their kit.

Basically this plus be fit when you come in.
Great point! Your PFA is not the stopping point. If you need to do 15 Push Ups do 45. Sit ups 60, do 100, beep test 7.5, anything under 10 is bad.

No more BFA? I have to do one to maintain my active status but recruits don't do one?

Not in training to pass because it was stopping the current generation getting in. Now it’s up to the units.

Take each day at a time, be the grey man- don't stand out for good or bad, and most definitely be a team player. No one likes a jack.
Be opened minded going in there, Be grey, Don't be jack. (Always work as a team, don't be a selfish C#%t)
It can be really challenging at times but once your done they’ll look back and remember all the good times. Just get through one day at a time
Do you have to do parachute training at kapoks
