📸 EX KAIMAI 2025– Highlights! 🌿💪🎭

Following on from an epic weekend at Ex Kaimai, our cadets didn’t just show up — they gave it everything!

Over the course of the exercise, cadets took on a 4km bush hike, went head-to-head in an intense tug of war competition, pushed through a tough endurance challenge, and best of all — they brought the laughs and creativity with team skits! 🤼‍♂️🔥🎬

It was incredible to see cadets from across the North Island working together, showing leadership, teamwork, and plenty of spirit. These moments are what cadet life is all about.

A huge shout-out to all the units who took part — it was fantastic to have you there. We’re already counting down the days until Ex MASH later this year! 🪖📅
