Institutional Hazing Culture: OBEY OR ELSE! This posted article is derived from this website’s link to the institutional harmful, undermining and corrosive cultural problem of ‘hazing’ (bastardisation) bullying by senior cadets upon junior ‘freshmen’ cadets since 1912.
RMC Duntroon (and ADFA) lack a Student Charter for the behaviour and conduct of its military officer student cadets. Institutional Hazing Culture: OBEY OR ELSE! This posted article is derived from this website’s link to the institutional harmful, undermining and corrosive cultural problem of ‘hazing’ (bastardisation) bullying by senior cadets upon […]
RMC Duntroon since almost its inception and to date, has suffered an Institutional Hazing Culture. As such, Duntroon deserves to be closed down permanently. Better, it ought to become an International Museum of Bastardisation. In comparison, Charles Sturt University in New South Wales on its website describes hazing, calls it out […]
The institutional criminal abuse by senior cadets upon junior cadets at RMC Duntroon goes back to the very year of RMC’s first intake of 1911.

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 […]
Canberra’s RMC Duntroon asylum is modelled on the British old schoolboy fictional toff English ‘public’ school of Graybridge of ‘Ripping Yarns‘ infamy. But instead of Ripping Yarns 9 episodes, RMC course runs for just 3; yet of late (2024) due to diminished applicants it’s been reduced to 12 months running time. […]
Only government ministers and bureaucrats don spanking new hard hats and ‘high-vis’ waist coats provided (not bought themselves) to be present before media at some site where work has stopped, yet they are told to be ‘operationally involved’. Pull the other one! Politicians think they can rely upon and subsist in […]

Just how depraved can Australian Defence Force (ADF) officer training get? Well, this depraved: This debased slang dictionary of 32-pages comes from officer cadets at ADFA in 1987, Canberra’s newly formed so-called ‘Australian Defence Force Academy’ just the year prior in 1986. The slang (‘lingo‘) was inherited from old Duntroon […]
