TS Marmion Leading Seaman Bronwyn Crawcour received her award at Anzac House on January 28, along with a prize of a return trip for the Anzac Day service at the National War Memorial.
The cadet unit had nominated her and two of her peers – Leading Seaman Toby Young and former cadet Charlie Ward – for the award.
They were tested last year on their dress and bearing, first aid theory and practical assessments and general knowledge. They also had to give a five-minute presentation on their interpretation of the “Spirit of Anzac”.
Bronwyn has enrolled at ECU to study paramedicine and hopes to join the Royal Australian Navy in the future.
