Fiji Navy CRASHES Replacement Patrol Boat | SY Clips

[@catlee8064]

Served with some Fijian soldiers many years ago....pretty much drank every meal. Their barracks block was under constant repair as they used to punch holes in doors, windows were put through, walls carved up, fires etc etc. Great bunch of lads on ops, but a nightmare on base.

[@whya2ndaccount]

Yes great bush soldiers. Also unless things have changed, 2 out of the 3 Fijian Battalions are on UN deployments at any one time so the UN picks up the tab.

[@catlee8064]

@@whya2ndaccount These were Fijians in the British Army, commonwealth soldiers.

[@whya2ndaccount]

@@catlee8064 Ah OK. I'm aware of the lateral enlistment option being an Australian (and therefore part of the same Commonwealth).

[@JayAdams-ml5jf]

LOL. You almost broke out laughing there at the end while reading the "official" statement.

[@davidwild66]

Being friends with Fiji can be quite expensive.

[@antoncarmoducchi6057]

Fiji is a line of defense for Australia so it's great value.

[@lyricallyunwaxable1234]

​@@antoncarmoducchi6057Ha! A line of defense? I think you'll find, the enemy is within

"it's Christmas"...........I'm dying here.

Kava is a hell of a drug 😂

[@darcieedmunds2370]

As a kiwi id rather have a drunk crew rather than what we have in our navy top spots 😂

[@aaronlyon5595]

As an Aussie this is very disappointing to see

[@tadroid3858]

Fiji has a Navy? Well, not really. It's the Australian Navy Annex.

[@peterk2455]

We give them stuff, or the Chinese give them stuff. As long as we play the game, they get free gear.

[@otiebrown9999]

I hope it is not another incompetent captain this time.

[@BrentMcInnes]

I think this would be funny if I wasn’t an Australian taxpayer. Not being reported in media here yet. Average Joe will be fuming mad.

[@nedkelly9688]

was in our news. pull your head out more..

[@richardcharlton8259]

You have to give them some credit they made it back to Fiji from Australia

[@francoismljourdan3761]

Winds were favorable

[@darcieedmunds2370]

With the bundys😂

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Third times the charm!

[@urbinverbiest9222]

They should stick to canoes.

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

As an Australian taxpayer, I am slightly annoyed!

[@baobo67]

Irresponsible. Requires random breath testing while on duty.

[@paulputnam2305]

Thanks!

[@rustle2]

They are also having trouble discerning the health difference between methanol and alcohol.

[@wouterkellerman4458]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@nukenet1]

You mean Methanol & Ethanol, both are alcohols.

[@Charles-v8p]

I'm sure that it had absolutely nothing to do with poor seamanship

[@Trevor_Austin]

Were the crew were trained by Commander Gray from the RNZN?

[@kiwidiesel]

Hey ease up, she was trained by the Royal Navy and just let loose on our boats😂 England is to blame.

[@gregknipe8772]

these folks serve best as cartoon characters on children's channels. I'd say children books, but children dont read anymore.

[@BramBiesiekierski]

Good at laying railway. But the equipment maintenance costs are high. Stuff tends to get broken alot.

[@AA-Oldschool]

There are too many male captains this is the problem!

[@thurston905]

Kava dont mix well at sea

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

Intoxicated? Kava?

[@PhantomRiver]

Who knew Fiji had a navy? Australia had better add outriggers to any other boats they give to Fiji in the future.

[@skiingfast1]

Remember 3rd times the charm.

[@johncheresna]

Doesn't anybody know how to drive anymore???

[@chrisgardiner5890]

Could have been worse, unlike the Kiwis with the Manawanui in Samoa.

[@johncheresna]

I don't care how anybody tries to spin this, but IMHO, DEI strikes again.

[@csjrogerson2377]

You dont know who was in command so how can you even mention DEI? Your HO smacks of ignorance and stupidity.

[@PN_48]

There’s that dumbass DEI catch phrase again🙄 They were drunk… how can you possibly think DEI had any part to play in this.

[@LivinRob]

Insert Moana joke...

[@gibbousmoon35]

Oops

[@saltymonke3682]

OMFG 😂

[@petestransit]

why are we the Australian tax payers, giving away navy boats to Fiji?

[@dingoeatswolf3663]

hopefully the Australian government not going to fall for it a third time?....probably will though. Don't know whether to laugh or cry over my lost taxes...😭😂😭😂🤨

[@whya2ndaccount]

I don't understand why we continue waste our taxpayer's money on this. Perhaps we just retain them for our Border Force instead.

[@albionjq]

Was a lesbian captain ?

But it's Christmas 🎄

[@AbesNbacon]

Humpty Kauicdumpty, may want to step up his training programs for the crews. Those big boats operate differently than paddle canoes. 🛶

[@DwightStJohn-t7y]

Everybody in Canada that i know from Fiji are electronics geniuses. You'd think their Navy would have a deep pool of qualified recruits. And NONE drink.

[@sisamusudroka3000]

​@@DwightStJohn-t7y unfortunately the military here are the ruling class, basically the mob, they get away with anything because they have the big stick
