Cool stuff man. I'm taking a wild guess here that you were in the Australian Army? Maybe I am wrong. I probably am though.

That's when the brain says, "you know you can do this" and your body goes, "not so fast, pilgrim"!

Nah, that was the Singaporean army, Tyler. I've since migrated to Australia.

Did you fly there and if so were your arms tired when you landed? (Sorry, I am on Nyquil and a bit loopy!!)

Hey like I said I need to brush back up on my military knowlege. Last year in social studies our teacher was a Vietnam veteran so you can believe we heard our fair share of war stories and everywhere he had been. It is some really fascinating stuff.

Yeah, all that stuff's good for beer sessions, but still, at the end of the day, as Yoda said, "Wars not make on great"!

I remember that picture from 1991 James. The disguise of the guy in the middle is still fantastic.

Ah yes, Adrian, I did finally catch up with him, and he was very disappointed that somebody managed to spot him.

Yeah, I did hear about that incident. Awful stuff.

Well, the timing wasn't great back then anyway, because I was stuck in Singapore at the time - I only moved back to Melbourne this March. Let me know the next time you're in town and we'll definitely have to catch up!

Nice Fatboy Ralph What year is it. It's a 99 or earlier, I just can't pinpoint it. Seeing how you're in Conn, glad you're on the Yankee side and not the Red Sox.
