The Academy<br />
The <strong>of</strong>ficial newsletter <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Australian <strong>Defence</strong> Force Academy<br />
<strong>From</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commandant</strong><br />
Commodore BruCe Kafer<br />
Welcome to <strong>the</strong> ‘Summer 2010’ edition <strong>of</strong> The Academy. I have received positive feedback on<br />
<strong>the</strong> inaugural edition published midway through this year, so once again I would welcome<br />
you suggestions.<br />
This edition provides ano<strong>the</strong>r sample <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> huge variety <strong>of</strong> activities that occur at ADFA,<br />
and I congratulate <strong>the</strong> Communications Team for its efforts in compiling <strong>the</strong> articles and<br />
accompanying photographs. In fact our Communications Team has done a sterling job<br />
throughout 2010, providing information to our extended ‘stakeholders’ and improving our<br />
internal communications.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> second edition <strong>of</strong> The Academy we have cast a wider net for articles. I am happy to<br />
say that this newsletter includes items from our international cadets, our military staff and<br />
members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> UNSW@ADFA academic staff. Of course we have also included highlights <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> 2010 Graduation Parade – a well earned celebration for our third year midshipmen and<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficer cadets.<br />
I wish all readers <strong>of</strong> The Academy a safe and happy festive season, and I look forward to<br />
welcoming our staff and cadets back to ADFA in early 2011.<br />
Warm regards,<br />

ADFA Open Day<br />
On Saturday 28 August <strong>the</strong> Academy opened its doors to <strong>the</strong><br />
public for <strong>the</strong> annual ADFA Open Day. The day was an ideal<br />
opportunity for prospective midshipmen and <strong>of</strong>ficer cadets to<br />
experience first hand what <strong>the</strong> Academy has to <strong>of</strong>fer, as well as<br />
for interested people to have a look at <strong>the</strong> exciting facilities and<br />
activities on hand at<br />
ADFA.<br />
This year attendance<br />
was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> highest<br />
on record – with an<br />
estimated 8,000 people visiting <strong>the</strong> Academy. Highlights <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> day included <strong>the</strong> Army Section Attack, performances from<br />
<strong>the</strong> ADFA Band, <strong>the</strong> Military Working Dog Display as well as<br />
presentations from midshipmen and <strong>of</strong>ficer cadets. The over-<br />
water obstacle course and <strong>the</strong> rock climbing wall also proved to<br />
be crowd pleasers.<br />
ADFA parent Jeff Phillips said, “It was very valuable to hear cadets<br />
talk about <strong>the</strong>ir life at ADFA and to gain a first hand account <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>ir military and academic studies and experience. It was great<br />
to see where my daughter is trained and to learn more about<br />
her career”.<br />
Open Day is a<br />
“It was very valuable to hear cadets chance to see a<br />
range <strong>of</strong> exciting<br />
talk about <strong>the</strong>ir life at ADFA...”<br />
displays by <strong>the</strong> Navy,<br />
Army and Air Force<br />
as well as to learn more about life at ADFA. Tours showcased <strong>the</strong><br />
outstanding academic facilities, and information sessions gave<br />
guests an insight into this unique institution. The ADFA Open<br />
Day is a great family day out, and is informative and exciting. It<br />
will be held again next year on Saturday 27 August. .

ADFA performs ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’<br />
Over <strong>the</strong> period 19 - 21 August, <strong>the</strong> ADFA Performing Arts Company (PAC) brought <strong>the</strong> stage to life with <strong>the</strong>ir performance <strong>of</strong><br />
Jeffery Lane’s ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’. Produced by Officer Cadet David Franklin and directed by Officer Cadet Annie Anderson, <strong>the</strong><br />
cast and crew <strong>of</strong> over 90 midshipmen and <strong>of</strong>ficer cadets provided audiences with an amusing night at <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>atre.<br />
The ADFA PAC performed ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ to a packed house on all three nights, dazzling audiences with <strong>the</strong>ir talent and<br />
<strong>the</strong> script’s humour. The cast performed several dances and musical numbers, providing a show that kept <strong>the</strong> audience guessing at<br />
every turn, while <strong>the</strong> band brought <strong>the</strong> performance to life with its musical mastery. Behind <strong>the</strong> scenes, <strong>the</strong> backstage and technical<br />
crews worked tirelessly to ensure a seamless show from beginning to end.<br />
As well as <strong>the</strong> cast and crew, <strong>the</strong> Front <strong>of</strong> House Team were kept busy providing refreshments to <strong>the</strong> guests and collecting tickets.<br />
Through <strong>the</strong> Front <strong>of</strong> House team’s efforts in <strong>the</strong> sale <strong>of</strong> programs <strong>the</strong> ADFA PAC raised over $2000 for it’s chosen charity - Youth<br />
Beyond Blue.<br />
The cast, crew and committee worked for over eight months to ensure <strong>the</strong> show’s success. This involved dance and vocal rehearsals,<br />
set design, costuming, lights, sound and rehearsing with <strong>the</strong> band.<br />
The ADFA PAC had a fantastic year that was full <strong>of</strong> laughs, but also serious dedication to ensure that <strong>the</strong> 2010 show would be <strong>the</strong><br />
huge success it was. Highlights <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year were <strong>the</strong> cocktail party with <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>me ‘Dead Celebrities’ and also <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rehearsal<br />
soundtrack <strong>of</strong> popular, energetic songs created by Midshipman Kristian Simento, that kept <strong>the</strong> cast<br />
and crew entertained.<br />
The annual ADFA Production would not have been possible without <strong>the</strong> generous support <strong>of</strong> Captain Kate Tollenaar, <strong>the</strong><br />
enthusiastic supervising <strong>of</strong>ficer and Warrant Officer Class 2 Gary Caira for his hard work with <strong>the</strong> band.
Lions Oratory Competition<br />
In August eleven midshipmen and <strong>of</strong>ficer cadets competed in <strong>the</strong> 2010 Lions Oratory Competition hosted by <strong>the</strong> Lions Club<br />
<strong>of</strong> Canberra-Belconnen and ADFA. The competition allows students to master and excel in <strong>the</strong> art <strong>of</strong> oration, and to cultivate in<br />
students <strong>the</strong> values <strong>of</strong> truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> preliminary round <strong>the</strong> competitors spoke very eloquently and <strong>the</strong> judges found it extremely difficult to decide who should<br />
have a place in <strong>the</strong> finals. Eventually <strong>the</strong> list was shortened to six competitors for <strong>the</strong> tough final round.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> finals, midshipmen and <strong>of</strong>ficer cadets spoke on distinguished individuals who have contributed positively to society,<br />
including Aki Ra, Valerie Browning, Leymah Gbowee, Martin Lu<strong>the</strong>r King Jr, Oprah Winfrey and Peter Hore.<br />
Competitors were required to speak about an individual whose outstanding contributions have enhanced <strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> life for all <strong>of</strong><br />
humanity. The competition was extremely tight, but in <strong>the</strong> end Officer Cadet Kyla Upton was crowned <strong>the</strong> winner, with Officer Cadet<br />
Nikita Irvine and Officer Cadet Conrad Sallans taking out second and third place. The winners were presented with monetary prizes.<br />
The evening was a great success and showed how adept some <strong>of</strong> ADFA’s midshipmen and <strong>of</strong>ficer cadets are, not only at public speaking<br />
but also at engaging with an audience. The competition also highlighted <strong>the</strong> strong relationship between <strong>the</strong> Lions Club and ADFA.<br />
Academy Military Shooting Club<br />
2010 was <strong>the</strong> first year that military shooting at ADFA<br />
developed into an <strong>of</strong>ficial club with <strong>the</strong> formation <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Academy Military Shooting Club (AMSC). This year<br />
saw a record number <strong>of</strong> midshipmen and <strong>of</strong>ficer cadets<br />
participating to improve <strong>the</strong>ir shooting skills. These<br />
numbers provided a significant challenge to <strong>the</strong> 2010<br />
AMSC Committee, which is responsible for <strong>the</strong> day-to-day<br />
running <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> club.<br />
The club presents midshipmen and <strong>of</strong>ficer cadets with an<br />
opportunity to fur<strong>the</strong>r refine <strong>the</strong>ir weapons training and<br />
skills through a combination <strong>of</strong> shoots on <strong>the</strong> Weapons<br />
Training Simulation System, along with a number <strong>of</strong> livefire<br />
activities throughout <strong>the</strong> year. This opportunity has<br />
allowed midshipmen and <strong>of</strong>ficer cadets to achieve high<br />
levels <strong>of</strong> marksmanship.<br />
This year <strong>the</strong> AMSC has been led by a small team <strong>of</strong><br />
second and third year cadets who, along with military<br />
staff members, have aided and mentored new cadets<br />
in <strong>the</strong> club. All <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se members have shown a vast<br />
improvement in <strong>the</strong>ir skill levels, as well as a considerable<br />
improvement in confidence and pr<strong>of</strong>iciency in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
weapon handling.<br />
Members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> AMSC participated in <strong>the</strong> 2010 Australian<br />
Army Skill at Arms Meet in Puckapunyal (AASAM). The<br />
team, which comprised second year cadets, performed<br />
well in all aspects <strong>of</strong> AASAM, and brought pride to<br />
<strong>the</strong> club and <strong>the</strong> Academy. They performed with<br />
determination and pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism, and have set <strong>the</strong><br />
benchmark very high, which hopefully <strong>the</strong> AMSC can<br />
improve on in future years.<br />

ADFA exchange trip to China<br />
They say that ‘In order to learn, one must try new things’. In late September, Midshipmen Sarah Eddes and Kate Phillips, and Officer<br />
Cadets Jedd Colvin, Melissa Polkinghorne and Kristen Von Saldern, along with staff member Sergeant Brett Walsh, undertook<br />
an overseas visit to <strong>the</strong> Peoples Liberation Army University <strong>of</strong> Science and Technology (PLAUST) in Nanjing, China. The trip was<br />
certainly a new and pr<strong>of</strong>ound experience for all involved.<br />
We were warmly welcomed into Chinese dormitories and joined in with <strong>the</strong> daily routine <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Chinese cadets. At <strong>the</strong> PLAUST,<br />
each room houses 6 students, who are expected to maintain exceptional room standards and balance a hectic daily routine.<br />
While we were impressed by <strong>the</strong> Chinese cadets’ ability to juggle <strong>the</strong>ir daily routine, it was pleasing to see that <strong>the</strong>y were impressed<br />
by our personal standards and fitness levels. The Chinese cadets<br />
were in awe <strong>of</strong> Officer Cadet Polkinghorne and her 20 heaves!<br />
Officer Cadet Von Saldern said, “The trip was a great experience<br />
and I am so thankful to have been chosen to participate. The<br />
most memorable aspects were <strong>the</strong> psychological training, <strong>the</strong><br />
Chinese Initial Entry Training, as well as <strong>the</strong> cultural tours in<br />
Nanjing, Suzhou and Shanghai.<br />
“Some aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> trip were challenging as it took us out <strong>of</strong><br />
our comfort zones. This included <strong>the</strong> food (duck tongue and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r Chinese delicacies were served), as well as <strong>the</strong> academic<br />
and military program, which left little scope for free time. .<br />
“Overall each Australian midshipman and <strong>of</strong>ficer cadet gained<br />
much pr<strong>of</strong>essionally and personally from <strong>the</strong> trip. This included<br />
learning about a different culture and making new friends. The<br />
trip was a wonderful experience which gave us a unique insight<br />
into ano<strong>the</strong>r culture and military Academy. It also reinvigorated<br />
our passion for our Service and helped motivate us in <strong>the</strong> lead<br />
-up to exams,” Officer Cadet Von Saldern said.
ACME Racing Team<br />
The Aeronautical, Civil and Mechanical Engineering Racing Team is ADFA’s very own Formula Society <strong>of</strong> Automotives Engineers<br />
(SAE) team. Formula SAE is an international team-based competition where university students design and build small highperformance<br />
race cars and compete in static and dynamic events for points. Similar competitions are held in <strong>the</strong> USA, Europe and<br />
Australia.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> competition <strong>the</strong> students assume that a manufacturing firm has asked <strong>the</strong>m to produce a prototype car for evaluation. The<br />
intended sales market is <strong>the</strong> non-pr<strong>of</strong>essional weekend autocross race car driver. Therefore <strong>the</strong> car must have high performance<br />
in terms <strong>of</strong> acceleration, braking and handling qualities. The car must be low in cost, easy to maintain, and reliable. In addition, <strong>the</strong><br />
car’s marketability is also relevant in terms <strong>of</strong> aes<strong>the</strong>tics, comfort and use <strong>of</strong> common parts. The manufacturing firm is planning to<br />
produce 1000 cars per year at a cost below $50,000 AUD.<br />
The ACME team has maintained its strong enthusiasm throughout <strong>the</strong> year. Redesigning and markedly improving on last year’s car;<br />
WS-09, 2010 saw <strong>the</strong> team’s car moving under its own power in time for <strong>the</strong> ADFA Open Day. This made it <strong>the</strong> first car in Australia to<br />
reach this great milestone. It was a great buzz to get <strong>the</strong> car up and running early. This achievement has allowed <strong>the</strong> team to spend<br />
considerable time on testing and development. This also enabled <strong>the</strong> team to purchase <strong>the</strong> best sensors and equipment available,<br />
giving it a full overview <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> car’s performance, <strong>the</strong>reby enabling significant improvements.<br />
The team has also invested time in developing <strong>the</strong> knowledge and skill set <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new first year cadets. These cadets have shown<br />
great potential and have acquired considerable experience in a relatively short period. It is encouraging to see such a good group<br />
<strong>of</strong> members come onboard this year.<br />
Looking forward to <strong>the</strong> competition at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year, <strong>the</strong> team is gearing up to show <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r universities around Australia<br />
what ADFA’s ACME Racing Team is made <strong>of</strong>. The team is currently preparing and practicing for <strong>the</strong> competition, with <strong>the</strong> aim <strong>of</strong> a<br />
top 5 placing at <strong>the</strong> race in December.<br />

ADFA at <strong>the</strong> Australian University Games<br />
The Australian University Games is an annual event which brings toge<strong>the</strong>r all major Australian Universities to compete in a wide<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> sports. This year <strong>the</strong> event was held in Perth, and ADFA entered two teams in <strong>the</strong> competition – <strong>the</strong> Rowing and Hockey<br />
teams. The Hockey team was supervised by Captain Scott Lehmann, with Officer Cadet Andrew Connell as Captain <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> team. The<br />
Rowing team was supervised by Petty Officer Herbert and by Captain <strong>of</strong> Rowing, Officer Cadet Leigh Brown, and Club President,<br />
Officer Cadet Clancy Horman.<br />
The teams departed Canberra toge<strong>the</strong>r on 25 September and arrived in Perth to travel to our accommodation - Irwin Barracks in<br />
Karrakatta. On Sunday teams registered with <strong>the</strong> Uni Games authorities and were able to spend a day relaxing and enjoying <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
time in Perth. There was plenty <strong>of</strong> time to train and enjoy Perth’s sunny wea<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
Although <strong>the</strong> Rowing team hired its boats in Perth it was still able to finish with strong results. Overall <strong>the</strong> Men’s Coxed Four came<br />
fifth in both <strong>of</strong> its races. The Men’s double scull, which consisted <strong>of</strong> Officer Cadets Adrian Harbison and Owen Hamilton, finished first<br />
in <strong>the</strong> B final, after having made a significant gain from its initial race.<br />
The ADFA Hockey team also performed well at <strong>the</strong> games. It came fifth out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> eight teams, and played against national-level<br />
players from <strong>the</strong> University <strong>of</strong> Wollongong, as well as state-level players from <strong>the</strong> University <strong>of</strong> Notre Dame.<br />
The 2010 University Games allowed both <strong>the</strong> Hockey and Rowing teams to develop <strong>the</strong>ir skills and put into practice what <strong>the</strong>y had<br />
been training for all year. Both teams made a substantial effort to travel to Perth and were great ambassadors for ADFA.
ADFA Rams AFL Club tackles cancer<br />
This year <strong>the</strong> ADFA Rams AFL Club joined big name sporting stars, <strong>the</strong> Socceroos’ Tim Cahill, Essendon’s Andrew Welsh, and <strong>the</strong><br />
Parramatta Eels’ Tim Mannah in <strong>the</strong> Cancer Council’s Call to Arms to help tackle our toughest opponent yet – cancer.<br />
ADFA Rams spokesperson, Midshipman Alex Raynery said that all three AFL teams donned a yellow armband for <strong>the</strong>ir ‘Call to Arms<br />
Match’ in front <strong>of</strong> a home crowd on 7 August at ADFA.<br />
“Our players wore yellow armbands to support men who have survived cancer, those currently facing cancer, and to remember mates<br />
who have lost <strong>the</strong>ir lives to cancer,” Midshipman Rayner said.<br />
Club President, Officer Cadet Thomas Bittner, said <strong>the</strong> ‘Call to Arms’ was an initiative that <strong>the</strong> ADFA Rams were very keen to support.<br />
“One in two men will develop some form <strong>of</strong> cancer in <strong>the</strong>ir lifetime so it’s certainly a great cause. The fact that it is linked to <strong>the</strong> AFL,<br />
and in particular <strong>the</strong> Essendon Football Club, made it that much more rewarding for us to be a part <strong>of</strong>,” Officer Cadet Bittner said.<br />
The ADFA Rams AFL Club rallied toge<strong>the</strong>r and raised $1000 through generous donations from <strong>the</strong> public, as well as <strong>the</strong> proceeds<br />
from <strong>the</strong> sausage sizzle and canteen being donated.<br />
“Everyone got behind <strong>the</strong> initiative – from <strong>the</strong> players, through to <strong>the</strong> club members and <strong>the</strong> spectators. It was amazing to see<br />
people come toge<strong>the</strong>r to support a worthy cause,” Midshipman Rayner said.<br />

International Students’ Association fundraising effort<br />
In aid <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Pakistani flood victims, and to demonstrate <strong>the</strong>ir support for ADFA’s Pakistani cadets, <strong>the</strong> International Students’<br />
Association (ISA) sold Filipino and Pakistani food at <strong>the</strong> ADFA Open Day, with all proceeds going towards <strong>the</strong> flood victims.<br />
Due to <strong>the</strong> strong support from <strong>the</strong> public, ADFA staff and <strong>the</strong> cadet body; community awareness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> flood crisis was increased.<br />
In addition, a total <strong>of</strong> $1700 was raised for this worthy cause.<br />
The ISA was established as a social network to support <strong>the</strong> international cadets at <strong>the</strong> Academy. 2010 has been a good year for <strong>the</strong><br />
ISA as <strong>the</strong> diversity <strong>of</strong> nationalities and cultures within <strong>the</strong> Association has enabled significant friendships to be formed.<br />
With 37 international students, from 12 different countries, <strong>the</strong> ISA is an avenue for social interaction and cultural immersion. This<br />
year we have members from Cambodia, Iraq, Malaysia, <strong>the</strong> Ne<strong>the</strong>rlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, <strong>the</strong> Philippines, Singapore, Thailand,<br />
Tonga, Vietnam and <strong>the</strong> USA.
General Cosgrove delivers<br />
University Lecture<br />
General Peter Cosgrove arrived to pep up <strong>the</strong> troops at <strong>the</strong><br />
annual University Lecture on 24 September.<br />
Before an audience <strong>of</strong> 900 midshipmen and cadets, and joined<br />
by <strong>the</strong> Vice Chief <strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> Force, Lieutenant General David<br />
Hurley, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Commandant</strong> <strong>of</strong> ADFA, Commodore Bruce Kafer, <strong>the</strong><br />
Rector <strong>of</strong> UNSW@ADFA,<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essor John Baird and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r senior members<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Defence</strong>, <strong>the</strong> former<br />
Chief <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Defence</strong><br />
Force shared his views<br />
on <strong>the</strong> social, media,<br />
political and ethical<br />
challenges facing modern Australian <strong>Defence</strong> Force (ADF) <strong>of</strong>ficers.<br />
He advised <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficers, when confronted with fear, to<br />
remember <strong>the</strong>ir core purpose –responsibility and reciprocity.<br />
He spoke <strong>of</strong> trust and integrity, and <strong>of</strong> leadership in <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong><br />
danger.<br />
Having joined <strong>the</strong> Army in 1965, General Cosgrove has seen it<br />
all. His service in Vietnam earned him a Military Cross in 1971.<br />
He continued to stand out in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> Force, particularly as<br />
Commander <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> International Forces East Timor (INTERFET)<br />
in 1999 which oversaw East Timor’s transition to independence.<br />
The mission’s success made him one <strong>of</strong> Australia’s most<br />
respected and popular military leaders.<br />
In 2001 he was named Australian <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Year and was appointed<br />
Chief <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> Force in 2002. General Cosgrove retired<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Army in 2005 but, after Cyclone Larry devastated Far<br />
North Queensland<br />
“...everyone can become a leader<br />
if <strong>the</strong>y are good at and passionate<br />
about what <strong>the</strong>y do...”<br />
in 2006, he was<br />
appointed Chairman<br />
<strong>of</strong> Operation<br />
Recovery Task Force.<br />
During his speech<br />
General Cosgrove<br />
explained that he<br />
will forever be a soldier but that everyone can become a leader<br />
if <strong>the</strong>y are good at, and passionate about, what <strong>the</strong>y do.<br />
General Cosgrove’s experiences in <strong>the</strong> ADF and beyond were<br />
published in his best-selling memoir ‘My Story’ and he currently<br />
holds several Board positions for major companies, including<br />
Qantas, and is Chairman <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Australian War Memorial.<br />

Disher Cup<br />
The Disher Cup named after Captain H.C (Clive) Disher, is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most prestigious and celebrated rowing races in Canberra. The<br />
race, which takes place on Lake Burleigh Griffin, began in 1971 - initially between <strong>the</strong> Australian National University (ANU) and <strong>the</strong><br />
Royal Military College Duntroon (RMC). The Australian <strong>Defence</strong> Force Academy (ADFA) began participating in 1986.<br />
Rowing is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> more popular sports in Canberra due to <strong>the</strong> locality <strong>of</strong> Lake Burleigh Griffin, which is just south <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> City. There<br />
are a variety <strong>of</strong> clubs on <strong>the</strong> lake which primarily operate in <strong>the</strong> warmer months <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year. ADFA and RMC do <strong>the</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
training in winter with <strong>the</strong>ir season beginning in February and ending in October after <strong>the</strong> Disher Cup.<br />
This year’s races were some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> more difficult experienced by <strong>the</strong> rowers, as <strong>the</strong> track was changed due to <strong>the</strong> intense wind<br />
conditions. The traditional race, which was to be held on a 5 km course, became a 1.8 km in sheltered waters at <strong>the</strong> western end <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> lake. Spectators also braved <strong>the</strong> conditions on <strong>the</strong> banks <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lake and were extremely supportive <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir respective teams.<br />
The results for 2010 saw ANU winning <strong>the</strong> Women’s four and ADFA winning <strong>the</strong> Men’s four. The Men’s eight, which is <strong>the</strong> main race,<br />
saw ANU come first followed by ADFA and <strong>the</strong>n RMC.<br />
The rowers have worked extremely hard throughout <strong>the</strong> season and are ready for a few months <strong>of</strong> well-earned rest before <strong>the</strong>y<br />
begin a new season in 2011.
CanTeen Day<br />
On 8 October a day <strong>of</strong> fun-filled activities and challenges were organised by <strong>the</strong> Australian <strong>Defence</strong> Force’s (ADFA) Community<br />
Service VECA (CSV) for 35 CanTeen ACT/NSW members. CanTeen is an Australian charity which was founded in 1985. Its mission is to<br />
‘support, develop and empower young people living with cancer’.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> seventh consecutive year, <strong>the</strong> ADFA CSV conducted ‘Exercise Outreach’ or CanTeen Day. The day consisted <strong>of</strong> militarybased<br />
activities at <strong>the</strong> ADFA Boatshed and <strong>the</strong> Academy. The event, which took two months <strong>of</strong> planning and preparation, saw <strong>the</strong><br />
participants undertake kayaking, dragonboating, a shooting exercise at <strong>the</strong> Weapons Training Simulator System (WTSS), and <strong>the</strong><br />
above pool obstacle course. This year 45 ADFA midshipmen and <strong>of</strong>ficer cadets volunteered to support <strong>the</strong> event.<br />
During <strong>the</strong> first half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> day water sport activities, an ACT Water Police display and an Army field-pack display were conducted at<br />
<strong>the</strong> ADFA Boatshed. With <strong>the</strong> support <strong>of</strong> Petty Officer Herbert and <strong>the</strong> ADFA Physical Training Instructors, <strong>the</strong> volunteers (including<br />
members <strong>of</strong> ADFA’s Dragonboating VECA) had an opportunity to lead small groups <strong>of</strong> CanTeen members.<br />
President <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CSV, Officer Cadet Rouyin Ye, described CanTeen Day as an opportunity to give back to <strong>the</strong> local community.<br />
“It was a rewarding experience to see <strong>the</strong> participants grow in excitement and enthusiasm. They were really grateful for <strong>the</strong> chance<br />
to get out and experience something different, but I think that we at ADFA were empowered by <strong>the</strong>ir passion for life,” Officer Cadet<br />
Ye said.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> afternoon <strong>the</strong> participants were given a tour <strong>of</strong> ADFA. For many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m it was <strong>the</strong>ir first visit to a military establishment. Their<br />
young faces lit up with amazement and wonder when <strong>the</strong>y were told <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> historical significance <strong>of</strong> notable locations such as <strong>the</strong><br />
ADFA Parade Ground and Tree <strong>of</strong> Knowledge.<br />
In return <strong>the</strong>y asked questions about life as a cadet at ADFA. To <strong>the</strong> volunteers’ delight, <strong>the</strong>ir inquisitiveness persisted throughout <strong>the</strong><br />
day. At <strong>the</strong> WTSS CanTeen participants were taught various shooting positions, as well as <strong>the</strong> particular features <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> F-88 Austeyr.<br />
Along with members from <strong>the</strong> ADFA Shooting VECA, <strong>the</strong>y were given one-on-one guidance for a shooting exercise, and received<br />
<strong>the</strong> results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir performance.<br />
The fun continued at <strong>the</strong> Indoor Sports Complex. Participants changed into camouflage uniforms and preened <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />
in <strong>the</strong>ir new military gear. They were posed a new challenge – to complete <strong>the</strong> ‘Above pool obstacle course.’ While most <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>m attempted <strong>the</strong> course, whilst some remained on <strong>the</strong> gym floor and were taught Military Self <strong>Defence</strong> (MSD) techniques<br />
by demonstrators from <strong>the</strong> MSD Club. With <strong>the</strong>se activities, CanTeen Day came to a conclusion. ADFA volunteers, as well as<br />
CanTeen members, benefited from <strong>the</strong> experience <strong>of</strong> exemplary community service, confirming ADFA’s commitment to <strong>the</strong> wider<br />
community and <strong>the</strong> cadets’ development as junior <strong>of</strong>ficers in <strong>the</strong> ADF.<br />

course in Fort Rucker, Alabama; participating in <strong>the</strong> Qualified<br />
Helicopter Tactics Instructor course at Royal Air Force Benson in<br />
<strong>the</strong> UK; and commanding an aviation troop on three operations,<br />
encompassing <strong>the</strong> entire spectrum <strong>of</strong> conflict from civil<br />
assistance to warfighting.<br />
I have definitely enjoyed my time at ADFA, and it’s been fantastic<br />
to come back as a staff member after graduating from here a<br />
decade ago. The best part is <strong>the</strong> practical experience – I have<br />
learnt more about Command and Leadership in my one year<br />
here than in <strong>the</strong> ten years since I graduated. There is truth in<br />
<strong>the</strong> old saying ‘that to truly learn something, you need to teach<br />
it.’ It is a shame it is over so quickly; next year I will be heading<br />
back to Alabama for two years, accompanying my wife on her<br />
posting to <strong>the</strong> US.<br />
Robin Robertson, Senior Lecturer - Oceanography<br />
Few would expect a young girl from Kansas in <strong>the</strong> centre <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> United<br />
States, 1700km from <strong>the</strong> nearest beach, would enter <strong>the</strong> world <strong>of</strong><br />
oceanography, much less overcome gender barriers to do so.<br />
Never<strong>the</strong>less, Robin Robertson’s intentions were clear from <strong>the</strong> age <strong>of</strong><br />
13, inspired by her fa<strong>the</strong>r who was a chemical engineer. Robin’s career<br />
path has not been <strong>the</strong> standard, direct approach but has combined<br />
oceanography and ocean engineering, academia and industry, field<br />
work, data analysis and modelling.<br />
She was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first five women to be admitted to <strong>the</strong> Ocean<br />
Engineering <strong>Department</strong> at <strong>the</strong> University <strong>of</strong> Rhode Island. By <strong>the</strong><br />
time she graduated, <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> female students had grown<br />
but <strong>the</strong> numbers today haven’t continued to increase. Despite <strong>the</strong><br />
male-dominated discipline, Robin has mostly fond memories <strong>of</strong> her<br />
classmates.<br />
Although much <strong>of</strong> Robin’s career has involved internal waves, vertical<br />
mixing mechanisms in <strong>the</strong> polar regions became her broad interest<br />
in <strong>the</strong> early 1990’s and more recently her primary focus became tides<br />
in relation to climate research. This has taken her to Antarctica several<br />
times to monitor sea ice and ice shelves in an attempt to better<br />
understand how much tidal power contributes to <strong>the</strong> movement <strong>of</strong><br />
warm water into Antarctica.<br />
Robin earned her PhD at Oregon State University modeling tides,<br />
while working with an observationalist and going to sea.
ADFA Army Dining-In Night<br />
Upholding <strong>the</strong> tradition <strong>of</strong> an interesting and humorous evening,<br />
<strong>the</strong> ADFA Army Dining-In Night was held on 12 August. The<br />
dinner was attended by many distinguished guests including<br />
Chief <strong>of</strong> Army, Lieutenant General Ken Gillespie,<br />
Vice-Chief <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Defence</strong> Force, Lieutenant General David Hurley,<br />
Commander Australian <strong>Defence</strong> College, Rear Admiral James<br />
Goldrick and <strong>Commandant</strong> ADFA, Commodore Bruce Kafer.<br />
Each distinguished guest made a meaningful contribution by<br />
spending quality time talking to <strong>the</strong> cadets about <strong>the</strong> Academy<br />
and <strong>the</strong> training that we receive.<br />
Officer Cadet Roulston said, “These nights are a great opportunity<br />
to have a one-on-one discussion with some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficers<br />
responsible for decisions which affect <strong>the</strong> cadets at <strong>the</strong> Academy.”<br />
Lieutenant General Gillespie explained <strong>the</strong> future <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Australian Army during his speech, focussing on <strong>the</strong> ‘adaptive’ aspect that<br />
it will take on in 2020. He also discussed <strong>the</strong> future capabilities, and many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> roles that directly apply to <strong>the</strong> cadets in attendance.<br />
A truly memorable night (for those who avoided <strong>the</strong> port), <strong>the</strong> 2010 ADFA Army Dining-In Night continued <strong>the</strong> traditions - just<br />
adding a little twist for all to enjoy.<br />
