25.01.2022 T’WAS THE DAWN CHRISTMAS MORNING by Ian Coate (Apologies to Clement Clarke Moore) ‘Twas the dawn Christmas morning and a soldier was sad;... He was far from his family in a nation gone bad. He thought of his children, all tucked up in bed He thought of his wife and a tear he did shed. ‘Is this crap all worth it?’ he said to his mate, ‘I wanna go home, not sit here and wait.’ His mate thought for a bit, then said with a smile: ‘It’s the reason we’re here that makes this worthwhile. ‘We’re tired and we’re cramped in this pit in the ground So our families are safe and free all year round. ‘We’re doing our bit, like those in the past, So peace has a chance and freedom can last.’ The soldier nodded his head this year had been tough; He’d seen warfare and famine and nastier stuff. He thought of his children and thought of his wife And was thankful they had such a fortunate life. Seeing some shepherds protecting their herds, He suddenly smiled and whispered the words: ‘Merry Christmas my family I really miss you, But my presence right here is my present to you.’ https://iancoate.com/
21.01.2022 There's nothing like learning a new skill with your mates! Learning new things can lead to improved confidence, new communities, inspiration & ideas. Its also vital to transitioning just as it was a vital part of military life. Doing it with a mate makes it more accessible and the shared experience & growth helps build stronger bonds, this was one of the reasons we grew so close while serving right? Unit PT/Courses/Internal training etc. In fact, most days we dedicated our t...ime to improving our knowledge/reflexes/competency. Why not find the next step in your journey and wrangle a mate or 5 to do it with you?? #Check5 #Veteran #quietprofessionals #sheepdogs Ben Castle Amy J-b Drummond Williamson Lukas Keogh Vincent Bell

06.01.2022 Some of my best memories from my time serving are the times shared training/playing sports/exercising with my mates... There was battalion sports where I played soccer with some amazing athletes and one of the best Goalies around (Jamie Tanner) Kickboxing with Ben Huff on a concrete platform in Timor Leste Boxing with Adam Marsh on my next trip to Timor (That was the best/worse boxing ring ever ) Gym sessions with Aaron Bruce in Afghanistan (what a beast!) and of ...course my Combat Fitness Leaders course (possibly the best course I ever did) where I got to spend 4 weeks training with awesome people like Johnny Territoire du Tchad. Since transitioning from the military, exercise and fitness has remained a huge part of my mental health and self care routine. Its also brought my community, mateship and confidence... Besides all that, sweating next to your mate is a great way to develop stronger friendships! #check5 #getactive #brothersbychoice
