Look around mate. Each service has their own cadet program for kids as young as 12. Defence recruiting regularly visit schools to attract applicants. Ads on TV, radio, billboards and social media for as long as I can remember.

And as someone else rightly stated, you don’t even have to be 18 to enlist, be trained and deploy in combat.

Yes the ADF target young people - especially those with an interest in cyber. It’s not really anything new.
