Sad to see a guy go from being proud to serve to disappointed. Happens allot though. All going well he still has his mates and they are what count.

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 4m 22d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 06/11/14 11:22 AM Share Posted 06/11/14 11:22 AM Always wanted to join the defence force.. Wasn't a monetary motivation either.. Never made it in.. Hats off to the blokes that do.. I think they deserve more.. Especially for OS deployment.. Fark me as a govy engineer you earn 20-40k more in the roads department than you do in the defence force.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
