Its Friday.
Well, tonight, going to a compulsory BBQ for the CA (Chief of Army) at 7CSSB, then home to the island, but it does not end there. Tomorrow is the PMs Welcome Back from Iraq City Parade in Brisbane.
I won't get into politics, but the parade was originally supposed to be for the troops who just got back, as that mission is ended, but due to leave, discharge and other reasons, to make numbers more stronger, its now turned into a "Been to Iraq? If so, your weekend is now stuffed, becuase you are marching" thing.
This dog and pony show begins for 1000 h, but we have to be here for much earlier. After the parade, the PM and mayor are hosting nibblies and drinks at City hall for Vets and families. Overall the PM is demonstrating he has bought the troops home, but not telling the public for every one returned, two are staying, and the rest will reshuffle to Afghanistan. Its robbing Peter to pay Paul.
I was planning on attending the Gympie Gunshow on Saturday, but these plans now have changed that. Might make my way up to Twoheadsville on Sunday.
