644.

That's the number of days SGT Codi Nol has been with the unit. Since his first day on the 22nd August 2023, he's contributed positively and consistently to the unit, has done exceptional work as an NCO, and has achieved his dream of moving on to the army.

The staff and cadets of 304 ACU, and the greater AAC wish him the best with his new career, and he is always welcome to pop back in for a coffee and a chat! (On his defence approved leave of course)

Enjoy a few photos from his time at 304, many of which he may remember.

Congratulations to our cadets for raising $2102 dollars for the Moe RSL leading up to ANZAC Day!

Their hard work and dedication to both our unit, and the returned Australian service men and women is greatly appreciated.

And finally a huge thank you to the Moe RSL for providing lunch for our unit. We hope our hard work does as much as it can to support their amazing work!

Hope all our cadets have enjoyed their holidays.

With school closing in, we’d like to let everyone know that we will be returning to the barracks on the 11th, not the 4th.

The staff will be performing admin/maintenance duties on the week of the 4th, and as such cadets will not be in attendance.

Wishing everyone all the best and a wonderful year ahead.
