I wanted to jump out of planes with a bayonet between my teeth.

That's exactly what we did.

Yeah, guns and Navarone.

I'd watch all those.

I just said I want to be a paratrooper and they were like, okay, well, look, unfortunately at the moment we don't have positions with the regs but if you come in through – I can't remember.

It wasn't the –

it wasn't the ready reserve scheme.

It was the, I think it was called like the A-Res scheme or something.

And so you signed up, you went to Kapuga, you then went to, well, you trade, you went to Kapuga and then you Singo and then you paraded at your reserve unit under that ECN.

And-

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So back to back.

So 1st of December 97, I did the oath down in Melbourne.

It was funny, you know, because I was from Albury, so I had to drive down to Melbourne, do the oath at Defence Plaza, get on the Cobham Code coach drove back up to Albury.

We stopped at a BP in North Albury and then, you know, for a snack and then we kept going up to Wagga.

To Blamey Barracks.

And then that was the first day, 1st of December, 97.

So I was there over Christmas.

At Kapooka?

Yeah, Kapooka.
