LIVING THE DREAM // ROHAN'S STORY "My name is Rohan Khanna and i joined the Australian Air Force Cadets in July 2011. I had initially joined as I was undertaking aviation as a subject in school and I thought this would be one of the ways to broaden my understanding and opportunities in a military environment whilst also honing my team building and leadership skills. Through my time there, I reached the rank of Cadet Warrant Officer. I was fascinated by all external activities that we conducted every few weeks, whether that may be in a bush environment enhancing our fieldcraft skills, on the tarmac experiencing flying or on the parade ground with drill. The squadron in itself was a fantastic and friendly environment with great mates and supporting staff that you will know for a long time. Furthermore, the learning in various different avenues such as leadership, communication, public speaking are extremely beneficial skills to have in the wider community. This lead to my career as pilot in the Royal Australian Air Force currently undertaking a Bachelor of Technology Degree at the Australian Defence Force Academy. The exposure from cadets and my passion for aviation and flying are all paved my path to where I am today. Core skills such as those mentioned above along with being exposed to drill, military history, customs and traditions through the AAFC have been an integral part in getting me here and benefit me on a daily basis". Find out why the Australian Air Force Cadets and 713 Squadron is for you at one of our recruit information sessions, running July 21, 28 and August 4 from 6:30pm. #AAFC #713SQN
