My SSM looks at me funny during room inspection because of it...

Sydney City Trash and their album called "Once upon a time in Australia". Country music with a big injection of punk. Kind of like an Australian version of the Dropkick Murphy's. Its bloody Awesome.

I'm on guard, so no medal parade for me, not till next week and my four year medal but... The...cough, refreshment... that went on in the shacks last weekend was fuelled by Jim Beam and Bundy... in a can! All i can say is that it was frankly brilliant. I'm a big fan of the pre-mixed but the new...

Seconded Wes

Import it! You wont regret it. ;D

Awesome photos Wes, i was hoping you'd post those. I need to get back onto this website. I've missed heaps. Cheers for putting up that photo. I've got to say, my Kepi cap looks brilliant! Haha, ta,

Well, its been a hell of a long time since i said anything on this website and this topic seems a good one, so... I'm a dismounted Cavalry Scout in the Australian Regular Army, based up in Brisbane in the same compound as Wesley down under. Just got back from a month out bush and just got...

Its a car for the new age suicidal soldier. You drive to within range of the enemy, fire off those unguided missles and toast yourself. Awesome plan i reckon.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! :'( I hoped i'd never hear that word again. I'm struggling to think of words to write because i'm trying to remember what i did after half a dozen shots of it. I think i was sick and very drunk actually. And i may have danced like an idiot down the corridors of F16 in sunny...

"SIR? SIR? I'M SALUTING YOU..SIR?" Corporal Bloggs could never figure out why no one ever saluted back. Or Moments later, when the vehicle returned to the ground, Corporal Smith poked himself in the eye. He never saluted from a leaping vehicle again. This picture has dead set made my day, i've...

Damn, Trinity got me, the website is mine, I hate you guys...  :P Haha, seriously though, its a pretty dodgy thing to say somewhere is dangerous because it snows there. "Look out for ice that is a result of cold weather and water" seems pretty daft to me. Anyway, i have to go, i've got a rogue...

Spent my holiday leave doing this and a few other bits of work. Cranked out 60 regulation pushups yesterday. It actually worked alright though i tended to add a couple of reps to sets just to really push myself. Ta

Bad luck boys. Rest in Peace mate and to the rest of you over there, stay strong and come home safe.

Beautifully said Wes.

I could have sworn i'd mentioned .50cal a couple of times here. I didnt think Canadian Infantry used the 12.7mm? Australian Grunts definately dont. Firing the .50 will change your life. It definately changed mine. I went to the range a boy, i left as a man. And the sound! Oh the sound!

Vegemite shows that Australians are a productive and non-wasteful people. After we'd drunk all the beer, we thought to ourselves "What can we do with all this stuff at the bottom of the Vat? Lets turn it into a tasty topping for bread!" I love Vegemite, And i reckon we're winning in the health...

Roger on both counts. Especially the first. ;D

I reckon everyone disagrees with that. Whether its just professional rivalry, our perceived superiority to every other trade or our common sense, no one is going to agree with a someone who's in their first year of reserves telling them that he's better then them. Personally, i reckon that...

What i like most about the infantry is when they've fully Debused before the ramp is closed. Then they do their "mudcrunching, groundpounding, gravel agitating, living in the dirt" stuff and we engage targets with the .50 at 1800m. After which we brew up and break out the porn in the back of our...

I thought this article was fascinating. Fascinating and really strange. http://timesonline.typepad.com/inside_iraq_weblog/2008/01/the-art-of-look.html Elbow or knee pads strapped deliberately to ankles and goggles worn back to front over helmets, some Iraqi soldiers have a unique sense of...
