What happens during enlistment day? Also is your enlistment ceremony on the same day aswell or is that before your enlistment day?

I don't know if I've read anything on the enlisting day. On mine we had a final med check, filled out some paper work, did the oath taking ceremony and got details for the flight over East for the next morning.

As far as I know, it's still pretty much the same. We still have a brief medical, fill out paperwork. Have a little cermony were we take the oath, then of we go.

do they put you in a decent place, or some formule 1 shit hole and are you given free time or how strict are things at this point? I suppose its a fairly long bus ride too?

I enlisted previously in '98, here in WA. It was at Leeuwin Baracks (Fremantle). We did the PFA, got changed, had some tucker with my parents (can't remember if it was before or after the ceremony), filled out some paperwork, got sworn in, then sat around with the corporal who was taking us to Kapooka watching TV the rest of the night.

Stayed at the barracks overnight, left real early in the morning after breaky to catch the plane to Sydney. When we arrived at the DFR everyone there had just been sworn in, then we all got on the bus for the long drive to Kapooka, stopping on the way for some ADF payed-for food.

couldnt imagine it being as extensive as assessment day however in saying this they are checking for changes in the things they have previously tested so it could be very well similar.
