VB stubbies are great. They're an Australian institution... And they've caused me a terrible headache today

Yesterday at work I got told that i'm a valued member of the regiment and i'm in line for all my courses next year...then i read the Regimental manning list and realised that i'd been forgotten about, left off it and no one in my hierarchy had worred about it. I reckon that's pretty dumb... I'm...

Thats why i wouldnt have wanted to be driving it! If i'd done that to a couple of my crewies i'd be out and running before they got a chance to impart their wisdom through the medium of large, metal objects. :P

And this is a very sorry, sore and dehydrated Tpr Hale at work that next morning.  ;D

Heres a few of mine. Theres heaps more from a very crazy night but they're on a mate's laptop. These show us in our "Winter polies" that we obviously wear on formal occasions. Our summer polies are the same but open necked and short sleeved. The shirts both eat starch and ironing steam and when...

Wouldnt have wanted to be driving that lav. Can only imagine the face of the crew commander when he realised what he'd done...

Dont worry my Canadian Friends, i'm in Australia and i too am jealous of the bastard! Damn you Wes! I'm on guard, its still hot in here and the vision of your pool is making me dribble over all this Ordanance chick's computer...

I was going to do the really, really unfashionable thing and name my son something mental like "Malcolm". I reckon that way, when he grow's up, he'll have a man's name. That list really shows, in my opinion, the egocentric, self obsessed cult of celebrity. It shows a total inability to consider...

Awesome Wes, i didnt know you'd put them up here. When i get home i'll add a couple of my own. Crazy night that one, i remember being really, really drunk, the boys convincing me i was Irish and that i should talk to the OC and all the troops leaders about it. I think they laughed but i could be...

Please! They look far more like my picture. Someone needs to post something. How am i expected to get through work tomorrow without being able to look at Army.ca, avoid work and improve my AFV id? Think of the children!

You are good CSA 105. I jumped into an old MRV training turret to check and bam! You are excellent!

A total waste of resources? A 70 ton LAV? A ridiculous idea that someone decided on after drinking too much coffee one morning? I'm bristling with idea's but none of them sensible...

We'd call it a "Jack Up" over here when the digger's take charge and refuse orders but still still do their jobs. Facinating to read about a military union, the boy's always joke about being "Good union blokes" but I'd never heard of an army actually doing it. Any one know if they use their...

Haha, thanks very much! I happen to enjoy the smell of wet dog actually.

You actually have to steal the medal to earn it properly! The plumes get the girls, especially when it looks like you've hidden most of the emu into your hat like i have. Its one of the best traditions in this army, and there are no real rules about the size as i understand it. As long as...

I've just logged on for the first time in a while and found this. I'm stoked to read all your messages. Thanks heaps to all of you, i really dead-set appreciate it. Thats what makes army.ca so good, the military network is a vast family and to have you good folks in Canada saying such nice...

Its a funny old world isnt it? Its every soldiers right to have a whinge about things, even when they know they're for the greater good. "I was going to get radio qual'd but now i cant cos the Reg's stole our brand spanking new radio's to use in Afghanistan where they'll save lives and help the...

Your definately right, our government find it hard enough to budget for LAV tyre's and our own calibre's of ammo! Let alone 14.7 etc. Could you tell me anything about what the Yank's do? I've never heard of that before and it sounds fascinating. And would the spare parts and vehicles really cost...

Lets be brutally honest, the pay for the ANA is nonexistent, the food is your own and i hear their Army medical and dental leave's a lot to be desired. If your friend wants to join the ANA, i'd strongly counsel him not too, either that or call the men in white coats. Get him into the CF, then he...

I was chatting with my boss the other day and were talking about OP FOR for armoured exercises and the way that SHQ's lav's will one minute be friendly, and the next we're being criticized for not picking up on the "BTR" in the tree's. Back in the 90's the School of Armour in Puckapunyal used a...
