What is the above supposed to mean? I have asked a Duntroon Sword of Honour winner and he reckons its nonsense.
--I've both attended and instructed there, and FAK is used. I don't recall it being used when I was a cadet, but when I returned as an instructor it was in common use. Don't think it is relevant to the main page though.
Also, what is the staff cadet and officer cadet difference? I've met Casey et al at Duntroon but never this stuff. Do people with no adf connection write this stuff up?
- A cadet at RMC is known as a Staff Cadet. Cadets at ADFA are known as Officer Cadets. The abbrivations are SCDT and OFFCDT respectively.
- As a recent attendee, I can confirm that the term 'FAC' is used at the College, but not with much regularity. The difference between Staff Cadet and Officer Cadet is one of semantics. Technically all 'Staff Cadets' are 'Officer Cadets' as it is the latter which is an official rank, whilst 'Staff Cadet' is, for want of a better term, an honorific (if that is indeed possible) which is only used whilst at the College.

Please note that the rank of Brigadier General for the first commandant (Bridges) is correct. Whilst there currently is no such rank in the Ausrtalian Army, at the time this rank did exist. It was changed, along with the UK, to simply brigadier in 1922. As such, I have recorded Bridges rank as it was, not as it would now be as that would not be accurate in my opinion. If anybody disagrees, I am happy to discuss this matter. AustralianRupert ( talk) 00:40, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be a section or paragraph about the entrenched hazing that occurs at institutions like this? - Shiftchange ( talk) 08:03, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

The gun gates were called that back in the mid-80's when Hockney and Blake were Commandants. It wasn't commissioned in the 90's. It had been called that for years. Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 13:31, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

I see that former ADFA cadets were being referred to as "FACs". We called them "Bravo-Foxtrots" (Bed-Fillers) when I was there (as a "Baker" in 86-87), because they spent so much time in bed during their three years over the hill. But is any of this reliably sourced? Cheers, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 07:16, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
hi 81.44.58.2 ( talk) 13:38, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
Not sure why this section exists here. There should be a separate RMC-A page that details the RMC-A and can also have this section. As RMC-D is a unit within RMC-A.
Just to clarify RMC, Duntroon is NOT RMC - Australia. Rather RMC-A is the parent unit of RMC-D and all the Reserve undergraduate/university regiments.
Doesn't make sense here. Will need to discuss the move, or move it later, as there isn't currently a page for RMC-A KarmaKangaroo ( talk) 17:48, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
A line that RMC-D provided reserve training to officers of the University Regiments between the years 1998 and 2008, as that's what's relevant. The section also seems to use the name "College" interchangably referring to both RMC-A and RMC-D KarmaKangaroo ( talk) 17:57, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
