The Official 'prego' Thread

[Einstein]

I was a CUO in 1998... Whos old now...

I was actually the squadron commander, we had 3 troops of 30 and a recruit troop of 30... So 120 peeps under my command...

well that explains a lot, you're forgiven (partially )

myself i got to sergeant in the army cadets in 96 before leaving because it was getting real gay real fast

luckily i was part of the chosen few who were probably the last cadets to fire off rounds at the greenbank rifle range

rubbish steyrs all you like, i love em

[prego]

i leave thursday to spend 17 days on raff amberly for warrant officers promotion course

We have official relationships with them. Unlike the army cadets who have a sponsor unit, we just have the RAAF in general. Maybe just RAAF Amberley but even they can't/don't spare us much.

Can you get gear IanB or know anyone that can? We are looking for bush/camo gear mainly. We're still handing out oldschool greens gear and Vietnam packs.

AFAIK my unit (105 Mdm Bty, 1 Fd Rgt) allready sponsors a caddy unit, but I will have a chat to the Quatermaster next time im up that way to see what can be done. Alot of the new stuff is in short supply even for the actual Army itself, things like the Australian badge that go's on the velcro strips of the new cams are worth their weight in gold at the moment, however being a caddy unit im not sure if you guys even wear them? As to feild gear, I will see what I can do, I dont have a whole lot of weight so all I can do is ask, there may be some old stuff from former soliders who have left the army that we can give to you rather then destroying it. I make no promises however as I play no part in the decision making process.

I should also be able to put you in contact with the appropriate people to talk to about sponsorship, however I dont know how its going to go, the whole Army vs RAAF thing, I suspect they will say go ask a RAAF unit.

I can also get you unmarked stuff from the uniform store, provided your willing to re-imburse me the costs. I will just have to run it past my superiors to make sure its all legit and ok. The stuffs pretty cheap, we get it at discounted rates.

Send me a PM with more specifics about what your after and how much. I might be able to help you out.

You should stay at home and rest...its your confinement period after the experience of labour

[prego]

lol^^^

well there was a hot 34 gt-t white coupe outside myhouse just now ^_^ someone can be real quick when they're in a hurry

[ze_flexy_1]

well thinking of it not sure because i may go to my uncle in bowen stay there for a year for free whilst im applying and pick fruit in the seasons

because you can get $500-$1000 a week doing that

once i finish school

I used to live in a place called Shepparton (NON ARMY RELATED) and its pretty much the fruit salad bowl of the country, companyies like SPC (now ownded by Coca-cola) ARDMONA and GOULBERN VALLEY fruit allll comes from there, i practically lived next to the orchids and my parents think fruit picking is an easy allways needed job, they picked cheeries etc, not too bad.....sometimes you get paid by how full your bins are, sometimes hours

but......yes....its a good holiday/weekend job

I made 3000 dollars in 6 and a half weeks when I was at kapooka after I joined the reserves... I was only 17 at the time, it was quite good money, cash in the pocket and tax free, no need to declare it to johny. I also got about a grand worth of free gear, boots, pack, webbing etc and learnt a few things while I was down there to boot...

lol can i possibly mention you will get many love from the ladies ya?

When they seen your biceps and your fit army muscles heh heh

Ultimate WIN

I work at RAAF AMB. There is a small no. of skylines on base obviously most of them are 33's. AFAIK I'm the only 34 owner and if my mate still works at 410 he's the only Stagea owner.

Can you be more specific in what you want and what the gear will be used for as I know the guy in the field kit store. I lean over the counter and help myself sometimes.

Awesome. I might see you down there. I'll be there probably next weekend for a bit. Ive seen a couple of R32's near the Transit block (cadets stay there on holidays) or near the blocks near the Airmens Mess. What do you do at Amberley?

Gear we are after is usually webbing, packs, assorted pouches, belts, DPCU clothing (cadets get issued shirt and pants but usually use old Greens jumpers/jackets/hats), scrim. Just anything for going out bush really. If there is a way of buying or obtaining old hootchies, ground sheets, poncho's or even an 11x11 tent, that would be really really awesome.

[Reggi34dr]

I'm a Supplier. I don't live on though.

Geez I could've helped you out with a fair bit of that gear as there were some changes last year.

PMs are better for more detailed talk.

Nice story though Prego but 'Ants' (cadets) can be a bunch of dirty lil people especially the things I've heard.

[prego]

lol can be true^^^

[prego]

i leave in less then 24 hours

[arbess]

prego, i hope you packed you bags tight as your going to get ripped up pretty quickly. good stuff on becoming a WOFF(AAFC).

But we all know what the real rank is =D.

Good luck.

[choyda]

In case anyone is interested and know what Prego looks like, he now has a shaved head...

I'll post pics once i have them

[n15m0]

[choyda]

Um no. Its tradition for the course

[IanB]

Man you cadets really do take things seriously dont you?

Good on ya

[Col-GTSX]
