My oldest son recently graduated from ADFA…..he wasn’t over keen to be Right Market but did a good job.

Was amazed with the timing of the fly over……

Oh and air force are wearing white jackets which is just an ADFA thing I believe.

They also use a combination of the three drills across the three services…….here I was thinking that the drill would be the same across the three services, no wonder I didn’t get military life. I assume the is a logical reason that wouldn’t be so logical.

Fantastic, an amazing day that you will always remember.

It gave me flashbacks from when my brother graduated also.

The hat throw at the end! :lol2:

Biggest drama being Right Marker is keeping step, 'cos the whole platoon takes it from you. It's amazing how people can block out the beat of a bass drum you can hear in the next postcode.

I remember mine, but I remember my son's more.

I was lucky also. I was tall for my generation. We had some taller, but they couldn't keep time. Possibly deliberately....
