BRILLIANT. our ADF is looking so modern so strong and fit and very capable. In my humble opinion as a nurse who cared for thousands of War Veterans from all the combat and major conflicts at The Concord Repatriation Hospital , Australian troops are among the finest in the world. And humble. Thanks for your service and for keeping us safe in this crazy world of COVID and Totalitarian regimes bullying us and our Pacific Islander brothers and sisters . It's comforting to know we are able to boast of our freedom and way of life with the fact in mind that we are very well protected. Fantastic Guys n girls. 🤠🤠🤠

Nothing like starting the day with wet socks and boots.. oh the memories.

[@sue-ellencallaghan8238]

10 days at Tin Can Bay doing IET training. Pissed down rain the whole time we were out. Advanced infantry, Sgts course all got evacuated out except us because they couldn't get in to get us out. So 10 days of the same wet clothes and boots. My feet were full of holes. Our Cpl ended up with pneumonia. Never been so wet and cold in all my life. Copped a bomb when I handed my SLR back in as there was pitting in the barrel from being constantly wet. 😱 yep, great memories. Did get dropped off in a Huey. That still remains one of my favorite moments. Would do it all again in a heartbeat.

No way. The whole idea that people will get "straightened out" by time in the army is bullshit. All the ones I worked with who needed to be straightened out still needed it after years in there, and their mates had to pick up the slack. Get straightened out before joining instead. It can be hard at times, but it's still a job that pays very well for what you do. Service should be a privilege, not a right or an obligation.

@Damo yes you do. You’re just another wannabe. Do you think you’re good because you play video games?

[@MegaROCKY001]

Being ex 3 RAR from the airborne role time I find it utterly incomprehensible that the idea of not having a Battalion airborne parachute capability to deploy to any part of Australia or it's territories within 24 hours at a minimum unfathomable. We all know it was cost cutting and other PC issues only talked about behind closed doors between the Politicians and the ADF "leadership". Did anyone really believe Prime Minister Howard when he said that Commando's were going to leave the highly specialised role and become infantry? it's a bit like saying the SAS will become infantry....oh except in Afghanistan causing them to be over worked....etc there's another pc decision
