Night Shift

@Former-Member did the leaches, snakes, wait a while, the jump in dam thing, wrapped gear up in hootchies, swam across, was a race, of course, prob not as bad as getting changed in tent for PT at kapooka, learnt to dress ..in a hurry ...hated PTIs they did have some good lines tho haha

Haha. Good for him! 😉

Rolling is good in my book, @Former-Member. Sticking things out has its merits, for sure, and sometimes we we feel we stuck things out too long, we find a way to draw out the good memories and forget (or learn from) the not so good. But the other side of the coin is acquiring the wisdom to judge when it makes better sense to make a tactical withdrawal. I'm still very much a work in progress in that regard! Lol

yeah try having him as father lol, been over it on here before, he still has nightmares, well they seemed to be shared by lots of others re themes haven't really delved into that @Former-Member not all beer and skittles being shot at and worse apparently. OK years after left Army, got my ute bogged at remote beach. local cop with tiny 4wd, father, other brother turned up, ie took us back there. someone was shooting.heard bullets whistle over my head, me and Ares brother hit the dirt, cop and father just walked straight down the track. No fear. or conditioned to death. either way they are way braver than I will ever or would ever want to be. All got out OK, father brushed it off etc it was nothing. he really believed that I think

I just wanted to say hi to everyone who is around atm. I started to feel a bit low this morning but have picked up as the day went on and plus I had a berocca it seem to do the trick and I was able to get a walk and gym session in and I had a chat with my exercise physiologists. I am making great progress with my exercise.

I am now almost ready to get back on my surfboard and looking forward to getting back out there- sport was my first love and now I just keep on going. I'll just go back and read todays post I have read some but I am still having problems concentrating and retaining information but slowly getting better with this. Hope you all have a nice night

Ah. Fun times! 😉

Well, as much as I'm enjoying a delightful spot of reminiscing, I guess id better not keep procrastinating from my dinner dishes.

Look forward to catching up with you all soon, @TAB, @Former-Member, @Appleblossom

wish I could do all that exercise @Former-Member think surfing a long forgetten dream for me tho lol

OMG! That's well helluva yarn, @TAB! Reminds me of Magda Szubanski's accounts of her father in her autobiography (great read btw). People are amazing. (But, reading between your lines, maybe sometimes they're more amazing at a distance).

..apparently someone was being identified? who knew? anyway, moment's gone and prob not right place for this. so I'll keep my nightfiring with L2A2 and chinook trips and hueys iroquois etc ok got spoiled. All on the same exercise and you dug it up, so I blame you lol @Former-Member

You'll keep, @TAB. 😛 lol
