well thinking of it not sure because i may go to my uncle in bowen stay there for a year for free whilst im applying and pick fruit in the seasons

because you can get $500-$1000 a week doing that

once i finish school

I made 3000 dollars in 6 and a half weeks when I was at kapooka after I joined the reserves... I was only 17 at the time, it was quite good money, cash in the pocket and tax free, no need to declare it to johny. I also got about a grand worth of free gear, boots, pack, webbing etc and learnt a few things while I was down there to boot...

English skills are no requirement to join the rank and file of the army or navy, and that seems to be where hes headed. The Air Force can be a bit more picky however, so prehaps he should consider a transfer to a different caddy outfit?

well i can speak for the airforce, as long as you passed yr10 english minimum they are happy, hell they let me in and now they let us use 2b, b4 and stuff like that

Roffles I know guys in the army who skiped school at grade 8... Dumb as a rock but strong as an ox, they do there job rather well....

In any case, going GRES before you transfer/while you consider joining as ARA is actually not a bad way to go... Kind of gives you a good taste of the army lifestyle, and if you do decide to join up full time down the track its just a simple service transfer as opposed to going through the whole f**king rigamarole of DFR (dont get me started on thoes useless bastards...)

Also good for keeping you fit!

yeah its not bad but theres no point of me doing it whilst im applying to join in full
ahhh i must meet this choyoda and prego. im not sure if you remember me but i was a CUO at 218sqn. to hint who i am; balbags.

went there with moutrage, hardy, trushin, crompton, sullivan... they are all of the senior cadets i worked with a lot.

drop me a line and we could catch up, im sure if you were in my era i will remember you. 1flt and 18flt did many joined bivs in the early days.

oh and CPL. Brewell?, he's a legend.

Pm u soon.

Hahahaha. I'm glad its finally out in to open. I can finally rip up my blue card (child related employment) :cheers:

CUO at 218SQN? What year? I finished as a CUO in 2004.

Moutrage came on a bivouac we ran as part of National Fieldcraft Competition Selection. As for the rest, I'm not familiar with but my girlfriend knows some of the other names from Drill Team. Yeah, I'm from the old 15 Flight days. If you wnt out with 1 Flight, you may remember Brett Smith and Daniel Wilson, possibly Graham Miller (also an instructor at 215SQN) now. As for CPL Brewell, he's still the oldest (but the best) CPL I know (he's my boss).

Now onto the inpregnation. He was bitten by many ticks due to some retard placing all cadets next to a tick infested cow paddock. Cadets were dropping like flies. Nate got bitten several times and dragged himself to our base camp to have them removed. My girlfriend and another instructor were doing the removal and "tick checks". For some reason (possibly to lure me), Nate decided to strip down in the open instead of the 11x11 tent. Having never seen such a succulent and innocent body, I was drawn to him with every animal like passion. I decided to let him have his way with me (by radio). After "doing it" via radio (it lasted over 2 hours), he was in his last trimester by the next morning (medivac exercise). Everyone asked who's the child was. Not being able to keep the secret, Nate let it out (coincidentally, his water broke too) and the child was born. The child was blue in colour and about the size of a 2L coke bottle.

Choyda, yeh mate i finished up as CUO in um.... 2004 well actually 2005 Jan promo course I was staffing. i was too old. From memory you were one step ahead of me, i would of been in 3rd year of advanced (Old bast*rd). When does 215sqn go back to parading? and whats the location and time? I might pay a visit and see the short man "prego".

215SQN goes back first Monday of Feb. Location is Cavendish Rd SHS and anytime after 6pm is good.

On another note, if anyone knows people who work at any Army Barracks or RAAF Amberley who have access to stuff (much like the parachutes on which SAU parked their display on), please let me know. Even if they are able to arrange visits etc. We are always keen for support from the ADF but rarely get it. At the moment, we are having to do dodgies (good thing I'm black) or rely on mates.

Old bastards...

I was a CUO in 1998... Whos old now...

I was actually the squadron commander, we had 3 troops of 30 and a recruit troop of 30... So 120 peeps under my command...

I guess thats where I get my bossyness from... The worst part is that 129RCU is full of Army kids who knew everything from their mummy's and daddy's... I loved breaking their spirit... :kiss:

Chris> Greives was a chick, she was a italian chick... Pretty good looking, i went out with her for about a week or two i think... :D

I also remember Stacey and Erin... Um all them girls from 126rcu right in the middle of pubity... Memories... "And one time on Army camp"

i was in in 713 in wa.. but talk about shit organisation & structure..

i was there for 3 years, came 6th of 150 on jnco but was never promoted to ccpl so i quit. some of u guys might know a guy last name carol used to be over there

on a side note our CO was arrested for fraud

I have access to the barracks, but im surprised you dont have an offical relationship with them??

We have official relationships with them. Unlike the army cadets who have a sponsor unit, we just have the RAAF in general. Maybe just RAAF Amberley but even they can't/don't spare us much.

Can you get gear IanB or know anyone that can? We are looking for bush/camo gear mainly. We're still handing out oldschool greens gear and Vietnam packs.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
