Okay so this was category was empty so I just decided to tell you about it. :D

Welll, I'd done the medical. Got ma balls felt by an old woman, BOOYAH! And also had to swaddle down like a duck etc etc.. And I'd been to the Job Orientation & Evaluation Day (Just figuring out which role you think you wanna apply for) .. And I also had done all the paper work and reading, psych test, more forms to fill out etc etc etc.. And then came the Interview.

So I walked into the room after I was called up and entered (Err..) and didn't know what to do. I figured it was going to be some old bloke (So I was going to shake his hand).. But it was an old lady! Aha.. And so she pretty much just started firing questions away, not saying Hello.. or Shaking hands. Just started out with "How do your family feel about you joining the military" .. "Are you in a relationship" "What is the main role of the job your applying for" "Why do you want to join the military" "For how long have you wanted too..". It was insane I was gettin grilled O.o I feel sorry for the dudes that have been in there, and are going to go in there.

And well after all the basic questions apparently I didn't give sufficient answers to most. So she's all "Tell me for 5 minutes why I should let you in" And, ahem.. That bit was easy :D

Haha. Anyway, I'm in if I pass my Hearing test and my Eye Sight test. Which I've done now, just gotta wait to find out the FAX # to send the results off and if they are good enough.. I'm in. I'll be over in iraq. WOOOO!! Lol jokes jokes..

Sorry to waste your time if you found this boring at all. :)

3 Australians have died since '02. 2 only in the last 3 weeks. 5 years and only 3 deaths? I like those odds.
You're more likely to die by a spider bite..

Surely it just shows how elite we are. ;)
Though, we only have 1,500 troops over there to Americans whole 200,000 or 300,000 that I heard..

But seriously.. If you'd bothered to research, you'd find that most of those are SAS. SAS = the best of the best, and from previous wars.. Australian soldiers are the best (they say).

Well of course they would say that (although I'm not contradicting you, it might be true) but yeah, any country's army will say how they are better than all the rest.

It's part of being male.

By me saying "they say", I meant other countries' troops who fought say we're the toughest. Not necessarily the smartest (MEEEeeeeee) but apparently we're toughest and hardest to break. Meh. It's just what I've read in History books all about Gallipoli and shizzle and other wars.

... Like the war in Vietnam.
"The Australian and New Zealand SAS killed at least 492 and as many as 598 Communist troops in Vietnam and lost only two men killed in action." I'll leave the bit out about friendly firing lmao.

2nd paragraph.

But I guess it is all apart of being male.
And wasn't this meant to be locked already? Aheh.

To be honest I've got to agree with Xplicid.. Australian soldiers are the toughest to crack, and always have been since Australia and New Zealand's white population derives from ex-cons from England.

Technically speaking, they're more suited to the climate in which they're fighting too, since Australia does have some pretty harsh landscapes, ignoring the fact that naturally any major settlement will be situated by the coast.
