Bruizer Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Yea dude exactly. I had a bullshit conviction 19months ago they have told me to wait 6more months then things will progress. 🤙 Will give me time to get my shit together and get back upto standard because let's face it 32 years old gunna be a challenge. I made my mind up a few years ago that i would join, not going to let that stand in my way and I think they can see that. I've always felt somthing missing with every job I've had even now I'm running my own bussiness. Gotta scratch that itch Pseudonym 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruizer Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 A partner took out a protection order many years ago so she could take my kids when she left. Couple years ago I got pissed and we had an argument I said some dumb shit was no physical violence cops called charged and convicted breach of protection order no firearm. Previous to that was a pissed driving 7years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks As it happens, I think one of our long-time members has been accepted as a medic, just in the last week or so. It's probably too early for him to be able to tell you all about it, but he might have a few thoughts to share. @tomleegolf, can you chip in here?

Bruizer Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 I'm picking medic will be quite a competitive trade and not recruited in numbers like infantry etc. Having something on your cv to stand out would help. Maybe some volunteer work on an ambulance with st John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matador Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 What are the living conditions like during Basic? Is it a massive hall with several dozen bunk beds, or is it more 'dorm style' with multiple rooms with several recruits in each. The Basic Training Vid on the Defense Force website showed a dorm style system, but that was in like, 2010 or so. What were your experiences? Oh, and what is the reason for PT after breakfast? You'd be going on a full stomach :vomit: :sluggish: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matador Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 It's the unit of accuracy with rifles. It stands for minute of angle, I think. What of it, Bruizer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matador Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 BTW, anyone who wants to know what basic training is like, but can't find much about it, check out these videos by 5/7 Inf reserves. There are a few parts to the vid. I'd expect AARC to be harder than this, as its full time. Pseudonym 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
