I've a few ideas for tattoo's but am worried about what they'll look like down the track. I've been in the Army 6 years now and am full of that green blood that flows through the institutionalised. I'm however, realistic enough to know that getting my unit hat badge tattooed above my left eye on...

I'm taking a well deserved break from facebook to get a little Army.ca time up.

George is of course right, its a BTR-70 as clearly shown by the hatch. I'd also guess that the bloke on the skate board is a late 80's model human.

Total shit. We're being asked now if we've any suggestions on how to save money on the poly uniform. Its a pair of trousers and a short sleeve shirt! We must have the cheapest dress uniform in the western world and they want to save more money on it? How about a nice issued pair of jeans and a...

http://www.anzmi.net/ A great website dedicated to catching these dirtbags and calling them out. Always good for a read. Some of the stories are simply unbelievable! And that so many have got away with so much blows my mind.

I'll admit there a definite perks (a Boiling vessel and the fridge jump to mind!). Back to the MAG58 (or C6) though, here me with mine in Iraq (the picture was used in the newspaper, thus the posing). We use it as a force multiplier because nothing says "Hi!" to a bloke hiding behind a wall...

I'm an Armoured crewman and I do some of my best work half naked inside my vehicle! While I understand where your coming from, I'd want to stress that in an AFV the vehicle may carry us but we "carry" the weapons. Its not a free ride for us. Every day I've got 3 weapons systems to keep...

In case anyone was wondering about the competence of the bloke, I want to add that he's a SF Reservist with the Commando's, who's only got back from Afghanistan in the last few months. Shows you that UD's can happen to the best of us!

2036 and I'm wrestling with the Mag pouch layout on my body armour. Theres just never enough room, especially when your a Grenadier. Constantly shuffling pouches around since 1800 trying to make more room and be more convenient. Probably go to bed soon anyway.

Good on them all! I direct a awed pirate "Yargh!" to all our Australian Navy fellers.

Just finished a lovely late night room inspection (I passed). Was brilliant fun ::). Its currently 2033 and we've only just finished. Nothing like feeling like your back at Recruit training...

Sounds like a deal! If i mail it back to Canada straight after they wont be able to trace it back to me! Its the one thing that drives me wild about being in the Army, is sometimes having to work with total idiots.

I really hope Darryl's parents are doing alright and have their shrine proudly showing off. I still think about the bloke and I really hope we never forget blokes like Caz. Obviously no one has been caught yet?

While out on a dismounted ex, my brick were stomping through some pretty thick bush, out in the middle of shoalwater bay, nothing for miles and miles around. We decided to have a break and jumped into a tight harbour. At this point, one of the boys looks up and notices 200rounds of 7.62 link...

Been a long time since i posted anything and this isn't really dumb, just frustrating... I'm getting all the boys to fill out their med appointments and dental appointments on a form in preparation for deploying next year. One bloke is a dead-set drop-kick and he shouldn't be deployed to the...

Haha, thanks for that. You've just broken my bad mood. To quote my SQ, "What are you blokes doing painting that door? Dont waste that blue paint! We might need it for something" Sarge, what are you going to need bright blue paint for? I bloody hope its not for the vehicles...

Afternoon sporties is a big one. But on the topic of PT, fun PT sessions are something my unit is renowned for avoiding. Theres only so many times you can run up the hill before it starts getting a little boring (Halfway through the first time for me!). Blokes dont need to be smashed for PT...

Ok, i'm not sure how this'll go but heres another golden gem from your friends in the Australian Army. Theres a bunch of reo's (reinforcements, new blokes) standing around in the morning before PT. L/Cpl comes up, L/cpl - "Rightio fellers, i cant come for PT this morning but i want you all go...

Speaking of dog tags... SQ - "You cant wear these dog tags any more, they've got 'AUST' on them" Hales - "Whats wrong with AUST?" SQ - "The Austrians have the same on theirs so we've changed it" Hales - "Can i go to the clothing store then and get new ones then?" SQ - "No, you need to hand an...

Agreed wholeheartedly and with an uncomfortable feeling in my own private region. The poor bloke. I'd call it something more serious then a "minor injury", if nothing else, imagine the stress and anguish the poor chap felt in the micro seconds after he realised that he had a snake hanging off...
