THE NDA BIKE<br />

At the start of the term, each cadet is given a<br />

bicycle to get around the campus for training<br />

activities. Maintained by the Military Transport<br />

Pool, the bicycles are numbered with the first<br />

letter of the name of the squadron and number<br />

sequenced 1 (one) onwards. When riding in<br />

the campus, cadets are required to move in an<br />

organised squad of a minimum of four cadets.<br />

Known in Academy parlance as The Garland, the<br />

bike spends more time on a cadet’s shoulders (in<br />

the form of punishment) than the cadet spends<br />

riding it.<br />
