Meet our Team,

Next up is the jolly backbone of the unit.

CAPT(AAC) Jason Ramm

With an incredible 20+ years with 503 Army Cadet Unit, as both a Cadet and staff, CAPT(AAC) Jason Ramm brings a wealth of experience, dedication and enthusiasm to the unit.

Describing himself as outgoing, caring and fun, Jason is passionate about creating a positive environment where cadets can learn, grow and enjoy their Cadet experience. Over more than two decades with 503 ACU, he has seen generations of cadets come through the unit and has had the opportunity to support them through their own journeys.

Jason’s commitment to Army Cadets goes beyond simply teaching skills. He believes in supporting young people, building confidence, encouraging teamwork and helping cadets discover what they are capable of achieving.

Throughout his time with 503 ACU, Jason has developed extensive experience in leadership, training, administration and working with cadets and adult staff. His approach is centred around creating an environment where everyone feels supported, valued and encouraged to contribute.

For Jason, one of the most rewarding parts of being involved with Army Cadets is watching cadets develop from nervous new recruits into confident young leaders — seeing their skills, friendships and confidence grow along the way.

After 21 years, Jason remains committed to giving back to the organisation that has become such an important part of his life. His goal is to continue supporting 503 ACU, its cadets and staff, while helping build a strong future for the unit and the next generation of Army Cadets.

His message to cadets is simple: get involved, have fun, support your mates and make the most of every opportunity Cadets and life gives you.

With more than two decades of service behind him, CAPT(AAC) Jason Ramm continues to bring energy, care and plenty of personality to 503 ACU.

Thank you CAPT(AAC) Jason Ramm! for 20 and counting years of commitment and service to 503 ACU, and the AAC!
