Lack of Australian national pride is at forefront of the ADF’s poor and desperate recruitment crisis

Australian Defence Force has been in recruitment crisis for years – reportedly statistically on average 75,000 apply, yet only 7000 enlist. The ADF resignation rate well exceeds its recruitment rate, so go figure! Australia’s population has been invaded by Canberra mass immigration so unassimilated to exploit our hard-sacrificed lifestyle and hard-worked […]

ADF institutionally allows and ignores the rape and abuse of females in its own ranks

The Bronwyn Grey Review 1998 – into ADFA male cadet sex crimes against female cadet colleagues

RMC for junior cadets is pure sadism authorised by Duntroon Brass and delegated to senior cadet sadists to dish out and sort out the 'Selections Board' wheat from the chaff from Day 1. Buckle up, take no personal valuables in (they will be stolen), donning knuckle dusters are vital during a night's sleep in barracks, trust no-one especially not your assigned officer 'mentor', realise that senior cadets are your pure enemy in all respects. Otherwise enjoy Saturdays, when your senior cadet buddies teach you to become an alcoholic to pervade for your lifetime. Day 2: It's not good and only gets worse thereafter.

This is the official website of Australian Soldier* Julian Knight.

Julian Knight, having duly served 27 years sentence in 1988 by the Supreme Court of Victoria’s for his immediately confessed mass crime, in 2014 unelected politician Denis Napthine usurped the judiciary and illegally imposed indefinite detention. Instantly in 2014 Julian Knight became not a criminal, but a political prisoner of the Victorian Government No. 49821 held at Port Phillip Prison | formerly Army Corps of Staff Cadet No. 5266 at the Royal Military College Duntroon | formerly Australian Army Reserve Trooper No. 3204059.

*Soldier: We consider the title of Soldier to be a noble profession the moment a civilian signs up to serve Country, followed by training, experience and sacrifice in battle. So we duly grammatise it with a capital ‘S’. ADF personnel (whether a ‘Soldier’, ‘Sailor’, ‘Aircrew’, or any other ADF role, from Day 1 to serve their country (Australia) instantly becomes a special member of our vital Australian Defence Force.

From Day 1 sign-up, each Army recruit deserves this capital title ‘Soldier’ despite pre-trained, pre- experienced, pre-active service, pre-medal recipient, pre-veteran, pre-wounded, pre-KIA.

Such military ‘sign up’ is so much a distinct and a higher calling that most other professions / trades.

Let no person who has ever ‘signed up to serve their country‘ ever hold any doubt of their rare courage to serve. We Australians as CIVVY citizens hold a profound civilian duty to respect and be proud of what these relative few committed souls put their lives in harm’s way and continue to champion and protect our fortunate way of life in Australia. They proudly follow in the legacy of our forebears of similar ilk who hard-fought and sacrificed.

Sadly increasingly these are forgotten brave heroes. History repeats. Sadly, negative and dangerous mis-training of those so committed risks outcomes like Hoddle Street (1987) and Full Metal Bullet (1987). Both a bully bad year of Soldier negative recruitment training.
