To give you an idea of the scale of the cash avalanche, my last royalty payment was in February, a staggering $4.50

So, do you know the bloke with the Dutch name from 6RAR? He’s posted quite a few short films from footage there.

Just reminded me of "The Odd Angry Shot" we used to watch a bit in my flatting days with some beers...

This is my book

https://www.amazon.com.au/FEAR-FRIVO.../dp/B07PF67B69

Is it any wonder the chicks keep hitting on me.

I'd read that. Any way to get if I don't have a kindle or amazon account?
I do have calibre (ebook reading software) on my PC, and also on an off brand ebook reader that runs calibre too, so epub and other ebook formats can be read on my systems (if you have them and want to sell via paypal or something.)

I think I may rename this THE HERO THREAD

A Coy 2RAR left Townsville on this day 50 years ago to start a tour of South Vietnam which lasted for 12 months and three weeks. During that time, these blokes served 318 days on operations in the jungle, the swamps and the mountains of Phuoc Tuy Province.
We flew in civilian aircraft and stopped off at Darwin to refuel or something like that - **** it was hot.
We stopped again in Singapore to have breakfast in the airport terminal. Because Singapore was a neutral country regarding the war, we took off our Army polyester shirts and replaced them with garish Hawaiian shirts.
Some blokes managed to sample the local beer - Tiger beer.
Me and another bloke were heading to the airport entrance to have a look around when these security guys stopped us. Did they think we were doing a runner?
I was 20 years of age, the same as most of my mates.

This bloke definitely missed out on cake...

Hey Mary, sorry Marty - I thought long and hard about how I would respond to this.

As you all know this thread is a hoot where putting **** on each other is practically mandatory.

So I am going to tell you about this bloke and it is not my intention to embarrass you Marty.

This is from my book....

Crispy too was badly wounded. You know that saying, never volunteer. Crispy (I referred to him as Ian C previously, but we called him Crispy) was due to go home. His time as a Nasho was up. When time was short, blokes spent their last few days safely back at The Dat. It seemed the company was down a sig and Crispy volunteered to carry the radio. I recall his ranting and raving and then volunteering to go on his last operation. I think his words were, "All right, youse pricks, I'll carry the flamin' radio!"

Poor bastard. He volunteered and then got blown up.

His first objective when he went down was to try and get his radio working. But it was ****ed. How's that for commitment to task? Although he was probably in shock, he was still focused on his job.

Crispy's legs were in a bad way. We had a great medic in Doc Lindmark. I never saw him panic; he was quite methodical in his work. When tourniquets are applied to soldiers' limbs, the time is written in red on their forehead. Crispy calmly pulled a pen out of his pocket and handed it to Doc. When he and Killer were aboard the Dustoff helicopter, Crispy propped himself up on an elbow and waved to the blokes as they took off.

They were in Vung Tau hospital within 30 minutes but Killer died on the way.

Crispy lost a leg and had a lot of fragmentation wounds over his body. There was a worry about his manhood, but I can tell you that he married a local girl in Rye Park and they went on to have two kids; and no, they are not as ugly as he is! Before Nashos, he drove trucks for the local shire council and on his return, they acquired an automatic truck so that he could still do his old job. Not a bad effort considering the bad rap Vietnam Veterans were getting in the 70s and 80s.

I visited him a few months back.



BTW, that is some boiled fruit cake I have in my hand to scoff down as soon as I drive out the front gate.

I am about 1500kms from Yap-Hoon, my how my reputation as a cake eater gets around.

Plenty of funny-sounding surnames were amongst that lot Franco.

In the Army, the term 'wheelbarrow' was used when NCOs couldn't pronounce the surnames.

"Hey you.. {pause} .... Wheelbarrow, get ya **** over here."
