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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
