This site is dedicated to the 205 foolhardy 15 & 16
year old boys who
joined the
Royal Australian Navy
in early January 1964 to form the 'Mighty 8th' Intake JRTE.
Welcome to the website of the 8th Intake, Junior Recruit Training Establishment, HMAS LEEUWIN. The 'Mighty 8th' Intake served from January to December 1964.We are a proactive intake, having had reunions in 1994 (30th), 1999 (35th), 2004 (40th) and 2009 (45th). Our 50 year reunion will be held in Wollongong in 2014.
Please enjoy your visit and leave your mark in the Guestbook should you be seeking any 8th Intake members or know the whereabouts of our 'Lost Souls' - members of the Intake we have not yet been able to contact.
