Your role:

Plus, you'll be supported by professional and enthusiastic Army personnel throughout your experience.

After finishing your Gap Year program, you can choose to continue a career in the Army or you can use your new skills and experiences in future careers outside the ADF.

• Ammunition Supplier – play an integral role in supporting troops and commanders, ensuring ammunition and explosive ordnance is managed and delivered to the correct locations in a safe and usable manner
• Fuel Specialist – manage and distribute fuel and lubricant supplies, and carry out the refuelling, in this action-packed role that keeps trucks, tanks and helicopters operational
