Hey guys here's an awesome website for articles. I was thinking p'raps we could include an actual war-related competition of some sorts as well. That link includes a photo competition by Fourays (The Australian Army Aviation Association).
Here's also a link for Australian Army Apprentices Association.
"The Australian Army Apprentice scheme was successful in a number of areas but was phased-out by the Army in the mid-1990s. The scheme had its roots at Balcombe Barracks on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, in about 1948, but eventually moved to Latchford Barracks, Bonegilla, in northern Victoria. The apprentice scheme gave birth to a number of unofficial customs, such as Crab Night, and had a language of its own – odd, or even intakes and sproggs (a first-year Apprentice) to name but a few. The apprentice scheme has also seen many of its former members rise to prominence across all ranks and corps of the Australian Army."
