23.01.2022 To all ex-4rar troops, have a great New year in 2019, keep in touch with your mates you served with, it's important!!

21.01.2022 An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h in 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with Tempo Mach 2 appears. The pi...lot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus flight, boring flight isn’t it? Take care and have a look here! He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, only to swoop down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks, "Well, how was that?" The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but now have a look here!" The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly stubbornly straight, with the same speed. After five minutes, the Airbus pilot radioed, "Well, what are you saying now?" The jet pilot asks confused: "What did you do?" The other laughs and says, "I got up, stretched my legs, went to the back of the flight to the bathroom, got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon cake and made an appointment with the stewardess for the next three nights - in a 5 Star hotel, which is paid for by my employer. " The moral of the story is: When you are young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, comfort and peace are not to be despised either. This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older, Smarter. Dedicated to all my friends who like me likes the S.O.S. approach!

10.01.2022 A number of cold-war warriors celebrated the battalions birthday at Singleton in the Upper Hunter among the miscreants were, Gary 'The Bear' Winchester, Tommy Douglas, Arthur 'Finky' Lancaster, Brian Holborrow, Peter Margetts, 'Atlas' Robinson, Ian 'zunt' Morrison... The story telling took on truly amazing and sometimes raucous levels such that the publican and bar staff had to investigate, Bear regaled them with his 'Jungle Fox' (poem??). Not too sure whether they actually thought it was a true account of his SVN service or not nevertheless it was well received. Most of us stayed at the Mid-City Motel, whether by chance or design The Imperial Hotel was not more than 50m across the road.
