The FSV and the MRV (with Saladin and Scorpion turrets respectively) have absolutely no room in the back. There's only about 2 foot of space in there and if you did decide to stand there, you'd be catching 76 casings. Which is cool... if you like burning yourself.
The turret and spare round...
Beautiful Pucka.
The FSV and the MRV are awesome looking machines. Theres still a bunch of them all around Pucka and the ones at the musuem are still running as i understand it. Sadly they were gone from the Regiments by the time i joined up but as a 113 driver i would have loved to have been...
Easy, its a croc chopper Mark 17. Used extensively in Northern Territory...
Seriously though, it looks exactly like something that we dont use and i've never seen before...Hmm, interesting...
Haha, thats actually exactly what i meant.
No, my understanding of this is that its a kind of "Manhood" ceromony that WA Koori's practice. The Elder nicks (its supposed to be a small cut) the young chaps penis and the scar will tell all those who have a look that he's a man according to...
The bloke in question is an Aboriginal elder who was approached by the young feller who then asked him to carry out a ritual involving the young blokes member. It went wrong and as a result the young bloke ended up in hospital.
It was a Aboriginal ritual. Nothing weird or disgraceful. Everyone...
Jesus. If it werent for the bit about security chaps in Iraq having to be awesome at their jobs, I'd be all over that! Sadly though, all i'll get to shoot at people with is issued. Disappointing. And you'd be earning my yearly rate in a month or two. Its just not fair!
I'm not sure which thread i should ask this in, i'm going to have a crack at this one though.
Whats the coverage of him been like? I dont get CTV or CBC here (different hemispheres and all that) so i've no idea of whats been happening. George, are you serious when you say he's been posing with...
Again, i'm really sorry to hear about this. It makes it sadder then his children and wife have lost him. RIP mate.

The Australian soldier killed in a roadside bombing in Afghanistan was a 41-year-old father-of-two based near Brisbane.

My condolences to all the boys and i hope they recover quickly. The RAAC is a small community, like Canada's, and any KIA is a big thing. I feel so sorry for his family. They ought to be proud of him and his actions. I know i am. Rest in peace boss and we'll always remember you.

Some great footage from the Ex a few months ago at Puckapunyal.
Its always good to watch things getting blown up!
A donga is something you hit when your driving cross country. Maybe its spelt differently. When your out bush and you've got blokes in the back with broken ribs (happened once), i tend not to break out the dictionary and head more to the first aid kit. ;D
Hale definition,
1) "A term thought to...
I've always found it relaxing in the any armoured vehicle, so sleeping is a given. Sure, you'll wake up when you hit a donga or something big but its never really that much of a worry. In LAV's its even better because of the smooth rides on roads. And i've never, EVER had the worry of meals...
I think its a great spectacle and its great to see some of the smaller teams create those upsets like you said. I havent seen the match from last night yet (Yay VCR and taping stuff!) but i wouldnt doubt that the Aussies dropped their bundle. Its something they seem to be doing lately. Their...
English Rugby is loved over here. I've never heard anyone complain about it being boring. And I'll personally knock anyone who burns a Union Jack. Come on Kat, don't bash Aussies for the sake of it. Thats just rude. I know i'll be watching England now and hoping they take it home.
I was really...
Ah yes, the eternal question. The one i'd ask is this though, If a bradley & King Tiger had a fight...wouldnt it be cool!
How about Spiderman Vs a Great White Shark? My money is on the shark because spiderman's webs dont work under water.
Wasnt there a few T34's running around during the...
I'm Armoured Corp old boy, i've got no reason to have to compensate :P
I thought making jokes about our photos was the whole point of this thread? I wouldnt have had my mate take the photo of me with the 50 if i didnt want people to have a laugh about it.
Moving away from those little...
Haha, and the weird thing is, i have SO many more photos just like those ones! You know your in the army when...You pose with heavy weapons!
You should see the one of me with the Carl G's (thats right, more then one!).
