Delta Company
For their first lesson, the recruits of D-Company were taught the inner workings of the Waverley College Cadet Unit such as the chain of command (i.e. corporals and sergeants) and the unique roles that certain members of the cadet unit hold such as the Logistics Officer and Regimental Sergeant Major.
Next, D Company learnt essential Drill commands such as, “RIGHT-Dress!” This command is key to the organisation of a Cadet Parade. They participated in Drill games where the D Company Commander, CUO Cameron Vincent-Hull, gave them orders such as, “ATTENTION!” and, “STAND AT EASE!” in quick succession. The company performed very well in this exercise with the RSM, WO1 Renato Rovacchi, in charge of Unit Drill, Dress and Bearing, commending D Company on their Drill.
Delta Company then engaged in some good fun with a tug-of-war competition before practising their war cry chanting, which was exhilarating for all who took part, proving a force to be reckoned with when they projected their chant for all members of the Unit at dismissal.
Overall, Delta Company really enjoyed Friday afternoon.
