I'm trying to study for my first Gunnery test tomorrow but my hangover keeps getting in the way. Its hard to concentrate when you feel like death...

Your best bet, i reckon, is to research it on the internet. But if you could arrange it, you could do a lot worse then go to the 1 Commando. They're Reserves but from what i've heard they're very good. Email people though, chase it up and make some calls. Thats your best bet.

What sort of courses are you talking about? (By the way, they're Army courses, we're not amalgated like your CF). Keep in mind you'll be attached to the Reserves where things are a little more lax then their Regular brothers, having said that though, you probably wont be sent away for an Army...

Even if it seems like a challange mate, could i VERY strongly suggest that you follow this up as hard as you can? I did it the other way around, although i was a Reservist on full time service, and absolutely loved my time in Canada back in '06. I see it as one of the defining periods of my...

Just as a by the way thing, Armoured blokes shoot big guns and watch the strike, Artillery make big banging noises and listen to the radio to tell them where they're landing. If that doesnt tell you who's in the action then i dont know what will. From a VERY proud Armoured Corp (RAAC) Trooper. Hales

From Cross Of Iron and relevent to all those of us living in Queensland, Australia, at the moment Unteroffizier Krüger: I stay dirty for a reason. If you've been in the field as long as I've been, you'd know why. Sargeant Steiner: Explain. Unteroffizier Krüger: Natural body oils, combined with...

Socialhandgrenade makes a strong point. I've noticed the same thing, by blokes being deployed they miss out on courses that people back home will do in their place. HOWEVER, this is usually remedied when they get back. I know that people who have been deployed are preferred for courses, even...

I still find myself going back to "Close Combat - A Bridge Too Far" when ever i get tired of the new shooters. While it frustrates me that any time an Allied tank gets anywhere near a German section it gets brewed up, the game is brilliant in that you can fight as a combined arms team, Armour...

Your both right of course. Sorry, i had a bad day of bullshit. The article did make me laugh when it talked about the M113 AS4. "Vulnerable to large IED's"? So is an M1 and every other vehicle in the ADF. It proved the amount of knowledge the author had wasnt as much as you'd like. We are...

Dont worry though, we're sweet. The paper also fails to mention our government is terrified of losing non-SF forces in Afghanistan and thus losing public support. SAS and 4RAR are doing tasks that the regular grunts could be doing. Rather then living up to our ANZAC traditions from the Great...

It usually only takes a 25-50 round burst...

Huntsmen are safe as houses. They just pop up in strange places and scare the buggery out of you...like when you pull back your sheets and find them.

Your just jealous Wes, that you wont be enjoying the flooded delights of Far North Queensland for 6 months of this year!  :warstory: I'm pretty sure i'll be around for that gun show, hopefully spend a bit of my bush pay on a reloading kit and I'll definately come up to Bribie in the car, I'm...

I'm listening to jazz and vacuuming my new car, a beautiful, British Racing Green 1964 Austin Healey Sprite with a Triumph Spitfire bonnet (complete with 8 custom louves) and wire spoke wheels. Whats a bit embarrassing though is that my 1098cc engine is dwarfed by the 1250cc Harley that my...

Lol, you should try training in Australia in February, its too bloody hot! The only thing that'll close our ranges are mobs of Kangaroo's! Your photo's look absolutely amazing, well done

Its taken at Pet isnt it? Looks magic, i've just been showing all the boys down here and apart from the obvious Coyote-ASLAV differences they've all been blown away with all the snow. It looks absolutely magic.

Bored and exhausted minion.

Its just nice to hear that even though your thousands of miles away, your thinking of the poor souls who died. For me its really hard, i absolutely love my home state and to see it completely ruined and destroyed doesnt make a chap feel good. I dont say that to be dramatic either, the MAJORITY...
