So you were on leave when you hunted with Saeed? Cool You deserve to be proud of your service sir. You've sure contributed an enormous amount to this forum.

Many times Gryph. I'm waiting to turn 55 when I can sort of retire (I'll do reserve work) But I'm pretty much done. Big Grin

I'm trying to set up some reserve days at Woomera. But other than that. Sort out my home/garden, work my bees and set up a little store at the markets for my honey and hunt and fish. Thinking of doing another taxidermy course before I get out (Defence pays Big Grin)

In the American Naval Tradition there is a poem called the watch.

I would have been at 30 years at the end of February. I retired at 20. I couldn't have, nor did I want to do 30. I was too broken.

Anyway here is the watch.

For twenty years
This sailor has stood the watch
While some of us were in our bunks at night
This sailor stood the watch

While some of us were in school learning our trade
This shipmate stood the watch

Yes.. even before some of us were born into this world
This shipmate stood the watch

In those years when the storm clouds of war were seen brewing on the horizon of history
This shipmate stood the watch

Many times he would cast an eye ashore and see his family standing there
Needing his guidance and help
Needing that hand to hold during those hard times
But he still stood the watch

He stood the watch for twenty years
He stood the watch so that we, our families and
Our fellow countrymen could sleep soundly in safety, Each and every night
Knowing that a sailor stood the watch

Today we are here to say
'Shipmate... the watch stands relieved
Relieved by those You have trained ,Guided, and Led
Shipmate you stand relieved.. we have the watch..."

"Boatswain..Standby to pipe the side...Shipmate's going Ashore.."

Thats a good one BWW. Certainly, resonates with me. It's my family that has done the hard yards. My wife pretty much bought my kids up as the first 15 years of their lives, I was working shifts and deployed etc. Even now the wife is up in QLD holding down the fort while I'm posted away in VIC. They give us medals for long service, they should give the families one as well.

To be honest mate, I'm not expecting much from the ADF once I pull the pin. I'll do reserve days as its money for jam but I have no more fucks to give. Big Grin

Just when you were getting started on the Sambar Bakesy,the Woomera region will be a shock and a half. Its nearly 1000 miles west of Sydney for those members that don't know and is desert country.

Its a big area Gryph. A lap of the area is a week or so of driving. I may get some contacts for a camel hunt. Wink
