G'day all, been off the grid playing soldier boy in pucka for three weeks. When I say it was cold that is a understatement. I missed you blokes!

Now to read all the threads I missed.

Welcome back Coops . Where the furk is Pucka?

Glad you're back Coops, hope you've still got all your fingers and toes, fingers at least help you type here on the forum.

It could have been worse...You could have been playing in God's sandbox!

trthskr4, I've done plenty of time in the sandbox.....although only in a technical capacity, what can I say......War pays well! Rudi, Puckapunyal is 1.5hrs north of Melb.

Yeah, a layover on a flight is too long in some places there.

and what a lovely spot to spend a bit of time in winter.


Cheers, glad you made it through.

Is Tit Hill still there?

So it was you making all that noise was it, coops. ? Many a fine time I've had at Pucka.

Nah, not us Graham.....that was the arty boys, I'm merely a sig.......i'm all about the passage of information, we leave the explosions to the big boys. Having said that, without my sat dish those fella's don't know where to aim all off that ordnance.

BTW, I know you jest when you say " many a fun time at Pucka", nobody has ever enjoyed themselves out at the PMA.

Tracker, I don't know of tit hill....I know I spent time on Dellars hill, colson's hill and a whole lot of other spot heights that I'd rather forget.

Merely a sig!!!!!!!!. I was a sig in NST some fifty years ago but finished up as a Staff Sargeant instructor at Officer Cadet Training Unit teaching junior officers how to become officers and gentleman. Clearly, I failed.

I really did like being at Pucka twice a year. It got me away from the boring city life and humdrum of being in a job that I hated. Not to mention an escape from a job I hated.

Tit Hill was near the old Recruit Training area.
They used to run us up and down it when we were naughty.


Cheers.

We had to carry a rock up and bring another one down, tracker but that was before your time there. The hill is a little lower now cos a lot of mad pricks in my platoon seemed to enjoy running up and down the sod of a thing, and consequently we wore a few feet off the bastard.

seems to be a glitch on this thread
