do officers get their private rooms or not? (disregarding the first 6 weeks)

You always have a private room, that is you have somewhere to sleep/study that only you use.

You live inside a building, with shared facilities like toilets etc, but you have your own room. Think of it like home, you have your own room that you can lock etc and have a common loungeroom bathroom etc (disregarding ensuites)

and be able to do 15 pushups !! (easy shit) and need to have a certain height and weight range.. (yup das me)
and also your eyesight needs to be good (but not compulsory, as long as your have contacts)
and also you gotta know how to swim (compulsory)
and you gotta be smart.
generally to be accepted as a recent school leaver a UAI of 80+ is needed as well as passing the interview and fitness test.

yeah the entry requirements are piss easy to pass, but they train you up to be fit and strong from day one

They do during the first 6 weeks as well, but they live inside a division building and during the first year the divisions are single sex all services, 2nd and 3rd year is mixed sex, single service.

What do you mean by "all services" and "single service"?

Whens then cut-off date for applications, cos the more I look at it the cooler it looks. Oh and a couple more q's:
I have low blood pressure, will that be a problem?
I am fit, but not necessarily strong, could that be a problem?
Oh and to clarify, the course I wanna do is aeronautical engineering

I don't know about the rest, but if you are fit and can do fifteen push-ups, you should be fine in that department.

All services=mix of Army, Navy and Air Force peeps.

Single Service=All come from the one service.

as i said, the entrance requirements are easy to pass, but they train you up from day one, so fit and not necessarily strong is alright to get in, but probably not good enough to pass the recruit course tests - so they'll train you up!

Do they provide you with a computer or do you have to buy your own?

 

[chip]

to bring up an old topic
i love hearing peoples misconceived views about adfa
my mother holds quite a few and i'm studying here right now way to many things for me to answer on this thread however if anyone wants some answers go for your life and i'll try and answer as many questions as is possible

 

[thorrnydevil]

What are the requirements for eyes? I wear contacts. Will that hurt my chances of getting in?

no because that would be discrimination

 

[thorrnydevil]

Cooooollll. Would it hurt my chances of becoming an Infantry Officer, or would they stick me in a desk job.

 

[hatty]

i wear tacs as well.
they make u go to a special eye doctor TWICE!!! at ur own expence to have ur eyes checked out and they drop this chemical in ur eyes and shit
if there is nothing else wrong with ur eyes (apart from the fact ur short or long sighted), there wont be a problem.
