From 14–17 September 17 AIEF Scholarship students attended the Australian Defence Force Exercise First Look program at the Bandiana Barracks in Victoria.

Over several days students participated in a number of activities including personal training sessions led by Army personnel, a trip to Kapooka to see the new recruits put through their paces and a tour of the Latchford Barracks training facility.

Students had the opportunity learn about the more than 200 different jobs available in the Army and hear from current serving Indigenous Army members, including AIEF Alum Darnell Fisher, a Rifleman with the Australian Army.
