The next step was a real career highlight actually. I had always wanted to go back to Duntroon to be an instructor and I did, I went from Timor to teaching at Duntroon. And I did that for two and a half years and that was fantastic.
That was a real highlight. I really enjoyed the teaching process and having those moments with cadets, especially when cadets were doing it tough. I remember sharing that story of the platoon and moving off with a number of cadets. When they were struggling, you say, "Okay, well, it's not always like this.
Actual bush is not like Duntroon bush. And it gets better and it's a lot more fun". The time in the bush is hectic and the staff are almost under as much physical and sort of time pressure as the cadets, it's not the same but it's a full-on burden. I lived on base for the first year or so of that and then I moved out but it was a very social period.
