Message from the RFCA President
I have seen on our Facebook page how we, as ex Cadets, are reacting to the quickly changing battle front – with good humour, with encouragement to follow the orders of our Government and Prime Minister, and with concern for those who might be stressed and not coping with what is happening.

Marching-in, Movement Orders, Morrie Stanley and more
I chose “As You Were!” as the title for this blog after searching for a military term that would give a nod to our clubbie past. I also wanted a Te Reo version of the title.
