We note the following poncy poem by some former staff cadet’s imagined affection with the fantasy with his notion of RMC Duntroon.
But we suspect he never attended Duntroon, except in his schoolboy dreams.
We do otherwise encourage the author/artist of this poem to make contact with real Duntroon former Staff Cadet, Soldier Julian Knight. Go on, we dare you!
The Colours of Duntroon
By Ian Coate
“To take the path of leadership is not an easy thing.
It takes more than academics and skills of managing.
You need a greater character that shines both clear and bright.
A beacon for men to follow, through times of fear and plight.
When you can show great self control with what you say and do.
You never malign and gossip or say a word untrue.
When you can face and overcome the failures of your past.
In times of great adversity, be strong, stand tall, hold fast.
When you know the stirrings of fear, but not give into fear.
Never thinking with emotion, through pressures staying clear.
When your wisdom is advancing from gathering all the facts.
When you’re prompt to hear, slow to speak and mentally relaxed.
When you can firmly stand your ground by a right decision.
And not bow down to politics or uncontrolled ambition.
When you have got authority, still knowing you should learn.
That one must keep humility to be able to discern.
When you can admire people, but never imitate.
When you’re comfortable with self and not give into hate.
When you’re content and stabilised, wherever you may be.
When you’re sensitive to others, though you may disagree.
When you can lead without bias and never out of spite.
Neither favouring or thwarting, but dealing fair and right.
Then you’ve learnt the officer’s code and respect will follow soon.
For soldiers will see your honour and the Colours of Duntroon.”

Learned “the officer’s code”?
NEGARE!
Attending RMC Duntroon there exists no ‘Code’, nor ‘Ethos’ nor ‘Standards’, nor ‘Principles’. Duntroon’s dictat is feral and lazily delegated to its juvenile ‘Lord of the Rings’ wanton senior cadets of its each barracks.
AVOID THIS DUNtROON ASYLUM!

The real colours of Duntroon?
These being:
- BROWN: symbolising Duntroon Bastardisation by anal broom stick (this did not happen to Julian, but it did to others especially documented at HMAS Leeuwin)
- RED: symbolising the much blood spilt by RMC Junior (freshman) Staff Cadets at the hands of Senior Cadets), including to Julian
- BLUE: symbolising systemic Junior staff cadet depression
- BLACK: the dejected blueness that drove Julian Knight into psychotic mass murder societal payback
Fuck the ADF!
Duntroon Staff Cadet Coate, if ever he was one, may have well re-written the inglorious ‘The Charge of The Light Brigade’. [SOURCE]
