25.01.2022 iSoldier's Nick Smith caught up with Sydney Morning Herald and gives his opinion on the ADF fitness entry standards and why he believes they are below average. He said It's up to the recruits themselves to take the initiative to better prepare themselves physically and mentally for the ADF. http://www.smh.com.au//couch-potatoes-in-the-australian-de
24.01.2022 Every week for the next 100-weeks, we will be going through each Australian VC recipient. Let's all share so they are remembered. No. 6 James Rogers On 15 June 1901, at Nchu, Orange Free State, during a skirmish, a party of the rearguard, consisting of a lieutenant, Sergeant Rogers and six men, was attacked by about 60 Boers. When the lieutenant's horse was shot, Sergeant Rogers rode back, took the lieutenant up behind and carried him for half a mile on his own horse. The sergeant then returned to within 400 yards of the enemy and rescued two other men who had lost their horses. Afterwards, he caught two horses and helped their owners to remount. Throughout this period he was under heavy fire. The Boers were near enough to Sergeant Rogers to call upon him to surrender; his only answer was to continue firing.

18.01.2022 Victoria Cross Recipient No. 10 Leonard Keysor Early in the morning on 6 August 1915 the 1st Battalion carried out a diversionary attack at Lone Pine and after heavy fighting that lasted almost the entire day they managed to capture the Turkish trenches.... After this, more fighting would continue around the position for the next three days as the Turks attempted to regain the position. The fighting was carried out at close range, using bayonets and improvised grenades and bombs. Over the course of about 50 hours on 78 August, Keysor continually risked his life to pick up the Turkish grenades as they were thrown into the trenches and throw them back. Later, despite being wounded and ordered to seek medical attention, Keysor continued to remain in the line, volunteering to throw bombs for another company.
17.01.2022 You won't believe what the first thing was that came to this soldier's mind, after he was hit by an IED (improvised explosive device).. http://www.isoldier.com.au/our-blog/lesson-from-an-ied
17.01.2022 Every week for the next 100-weeks, we will be going through each Australian VC recipient. Don't forget to share. Lest we Forget. Number 4 Lieutenant Frederick Bell (make sure you read the second last paragraph)... He was 26 years old, and a lieutenant in the West Australian Mounted Infantry, Australian Forces during the Second Boer War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC. On 16 May 1901 at Brakpan, Transvaal, South Africa, when retiring through a heavy fire after holding the right flank, Lieutenant Bell noticed a man dismounted and returned and took him up behind him. The horse not being equal to the weight fell with them, Lieutenant Bell then remained behind and covered the man's retirement till he was out of danger. For many years the Queens & Kings South Africa medal pair awarded to Fred Bell were missing from his group. He had apparently sold these to raise beer money on a night out in Bristol in 1914. The two missing medals eventually turned up in the mid-1980s in Ormskirk, Lancashire and were brought back to Australia.
15.01.2022 Victoria Cross Recipient No. 8 John Patrick Hamilton He was only 19 years old and still a private when the following deeds took place during the battle of lone pine:... For most conspicuous bravery on 9th August, 1915, in the Gallipoli Peninsula. During a heavy bomb attack by the enemy on the newly captured position at Lone Pine, Private Hamilton, with utter disregard to personal safety, exposed himself under heavy fire on the parados, in order to secure a better fire position against the enemy's bomb throwers. His coolness and daring example had an immediate effect. The defence was encouraged, and the enemy driven off with heavy loss

14.01.2022 Victoria Cross Recipient No. 9 Albert Jacka On 19 May 1915, the Turks launched an assault against the Anzac Line, capturing a section of the trench at Courtneys Post; one end of which was guarded by Jacka.... For several minutes he fired warning shots into the trench wall until reinforcements arrived, after which he attempted to enter the trench with three others; all but Jacka were either wounded or pinned. It was then decided that while a feint attack was made from the same end, Jacka would attack from the rear. The party then proceeded to engage the Turks with rifle fire, throwing in two bombs as Jacka skirted around to attack from the flank. He climbed out onto "no man's land", entering the trench via the parapet. In the resulting conflict, Jacka shot five and bayoneted two Turkish soldiers, forcing the remainder to flee the trench; he then held the trench alone for the remainder of the night. Jackas platoon commander, Lieutenant Crabbe, informed him the following morning that he would be recommended for his bravery.

11.01.2022 VC Recipient No.12 Hugo Throssell "On 2930 August 1915 at Kaiakij Aghala (Hill 60), Gallipoli, Turkey, Second Lieutenant Throssell, although severely wounded in several places, refused to leave his post during a counter-attack or to obtain medical assistance until all danger was passed, when he had his wounds dressed and returned to the firing line until ordered out of action by the Medical Officer. ... By his personal courage and example he kept up the spirits of his party and was largely instrumental in saving the situation at a critical period."

09.01.2022 Victoria Cross Recipient No. 7 William Dunstan He was 20 years old and a Corporal in the 7th Battalion (Victoria), Australian Imperial Force during the First World War when he was awarded the VC for his actions on 9 August 1915, at Lone Pine, Gallipoli, Turkey: The enemy made a determined counter-attack on the centre of the newly captured trench held by a lieutenant (Frederick Harold Tubb), two corporals (Alexander Stewart Burton and Corporal Dunstan) and a few men. The enemy... blew in the sand-bag barricade, leaving only a foot standing, but the lieutenant and the two corporals repelled the enemy and rebuilt the barricade. Twice more the enemy blew in the barricade and on each occasion they were repelled and the barricade rebuilt. Dunstan was blind for almost a year after Lone Pine.
07.01.2022 They'll be 100x better able then if they haven't.
04.01.2022 This morning we want to give remembrance to Ashley Kent Johnston, 28, a seven-year army reservist who on Tuesday night became the first Westerner reported killed. He died during a firefight with jihadists in Tel Hamis, northeast Syria. Although we don't condone braking the law, what we DO condone is heroism against the face of terrorism like ISIS. He sacrifice his own life to help the fight against ISIS.... Ashley is pictured on the right. RIP
04.01.2022 Hi Everyone, Nick Smith here. Well be sending your video series Am I Army Fit in just a bit. But first I need to ask you a favour... Were really close to wrapping up our long-awaited 8-Week Army Preparation Course. We will be releasing it in early April. But before we do, I have to ask you a couple of questions. Can you help us out? You can answer the questions here (and get a little more detail on the 8-week army preparation course) at this link: http://bit.ly/1CjLmIh Thanks and best regards.
04.01.2022 We talked all things army with ex-serving soldier SGT C.F. and he gave his opinion on why he thinks the army has changed so much over the years and gives a lesson for new recruits who may think that they are indispensable.
03.01.2022 VC Recipient No. 11 William Symons He was 26 years old, and a second lieutenant in the 7th Battalion, (Victoria), Australian Imperial Force during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.... On 89 August 1915, at Lone Pine, Gallipoli, Turkey, Symons was in command of a section of newly captured trenches and repelled several counter-attacks with great coolness. An enemy attack on an isolated sap early in the morning resulted in six officers becoming casualties and part of the sap being lost, but Symons retook it, shooting two Turks. The sap was then attacked from three sides and this officer managed, in the face of heavy fire, to build a barricade. On the enemy setting fire to the head cover, he extinguished it and rebuilt the barricade. His coolness and determination finally compelled the enemy to withdraw. Share this Legend.

02.01.2022 Definition: Continue in a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no indication of success. "Never take a backwards step" is drilled into us throughout training and most of our career as a soldier. Whether you're a soldier or not, if you can persevere, you can succeed at almost anything.
