Aussie academy breaks rigid traditions at Duntroon
At the Royal Military College of Australia in Canberra cadets mix study with relaxed rules. Maj. Gen. Pearson notes a bar open to 11 pm and liberal daily routines, while the campus maintains a strong merit-based system. The program partners with the University of New South Wales for degrees and plans its own degree by 1977. Cadets travel from Australia and abroad, with modest pay and allowances, and strict leave and discipline practices.
