Cadets from the Royal Military College-Duntroon (RMC-D) in Australia were impressed by the discipline and hard work displayed by Indonesian cadets during their visit to the Military Academy (Akmil) in Magelang.
The Australian cadets, as part of a visit by Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, Richard Marles, to sign an enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) between Indonesia and Australia, shared their admiration for the Indonesian cadets.
One of the Australian cadets, Maxwell Jon Kiernan, stated, “The most important thing I observed is that the Indonesian cadets at Akmil possess a strong work ethic and discipline.”
Lola Kathleen May Charles, a cadet at RMC-D, also expressed her appreciation for the dedication of the Indonesian cadets to their training and studies, calling it truly inspiring.
Captain Damon Radford, an exchange officer, mentioned that ten Australian cadets took part in the visit, engaging in various activities with the Indonesian cadets, including mentoring sessions and English language classes.
As part of the Foreign Academy Exchange Program (FAEP), the visit aims to strengthen cooperation between the two countries. The program will continue with Indonesian cadets visiting Australia from October 10-21.
