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...

well that explains a lot, you're forgiven (partially :D)

myself i got to sergeant in the army cadets in 96 before leaving because it was getting real gay real fast

luckily i was part of the chosen few who were probably the last cadets to fire off rounds at the greenbank rifle range

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.

AFAIK my unit (105 Mdm Bty, 1 Fd Rgt) allready sponsors a caddy unit, but I will have a chat to the Quatermaster next time im up that way to see what can be done. Alot of the new stuff is in short supply even for the actual Army itself, things like the Australian badge that go's on the velcro strips of the new cams are worth their weight in gold at the moment, however being a caddy unit im not sure if you guys even wear them? As to feild gear, I will see what I can do, I dont have a whole lot of weight so all I can do is ask, there may be some old stuff from former soliders who have left the army that we can give to you rather then destroying it. I make no promises however as I play no part in the decision making process.

I should also be able to put you in contact with the appropriate people to talk to about sponsorship, however I dont know how its going to go, the whole Army vs RAAF thing, I suspect they will say go ask a RAAF unit.

I can also get you unmarked stuff from the uniform store, provided your willing to re-imburse me the costs. I will just have to run it past my superiors to make sure its all legit and ok. The stuffs pretty cheap, we get it at discounted rates.

Send me a PM with more specifics about what your after and how much. I might be able to help you out.

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 used to live in a place called Shepparton (NON ARMY RELATED) and its pretty much the fruit salad bowl of the country, companyies like SPC (now ownded by Coca-cola) ARDMONA and GOULBERN VALLEY fruit allll comes from there, i practically lived next to the orchids and my parents think fruit picking is an easy allways needed job, they picked cheeries etc, not too bad.....sometimes you get paid by how full your bins are, sometimes hours

but......yes....its a good holiday/weekend job

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...

lol can i possibly mention you will get many love from the ladies ya?

When they seen your biceps and your fit army muscles heh heh

Ultimate WIN

I want my 2 minutes back.

Hahaha i just skipped all the mumbo jumbo army talk, :D called selective reading me dear!

I work at RAAF AMB. There is a small no. of skylines on base obviously most of them are 33's. AFAIK I'm the only 34 owner and if my mate still works at 410 he's the only Stagea owner.

Can you be more specific in what you want and what the gear will be used for as I know the guy in the field kit store. I lean over the counter and help myself sometimes.

Awesome. I might see you down there. I'll be there probably next weekend for a bit. Ive seen a couple of R32's near the Transit block (cadets stay there on holidays) or near the blocks near the Airmens Mess. What do you do at Amberley?

Gear we are after is usually webbing, packs, assorted pouches, belts, DPCU clothing (cadets get issued shirt and pants but usually use old Greens jumpers/jackets/hats), scrim. Just anything for going out bush really. If there is a way of buying or obtaining old hootchies, ground sheets, poncho's or even an 11x11 tent, that would be really really awesome.

I'm a Supplier. I don't live on though.

Geez I could've helped you out with a fair bit of that gear as there were some changes last year.

PMs are better for more detailed talk.

Nice story though Prego but 'Ants' (cadets) can be a bunch of dirty lil people especially the things I've heard.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
