I moved into a share house with a mate of mine I went to school with.
He was working for his uncle learning how to be a fucking earth movie.
He was learning how to drive excavators and front-end loaders and shit.
And I got a job working at this place called Melbourne Acrylic Coatings in Moorabbin, basically fucking mixing up buckets of render to send out to site, doing architectural moulding, anything I could do just to earn a living while I was going to start this journey with the reserve commandos.
Well, that was my goal until I started parading with the chocos – well, with the guys.
I'm not going to say chocos.
That's derogatory.
With the reserve commandos.
And I remember the very first time – and like to get on the books with them at first before I went to Kapook, I had to go down there and do like a –
an information day i had to do like a basic sort of fitness the thing was just like a bfa but i hadn't joined the army yet so it was like we just want to suss you out and see if you've got to be the cunt about yeah you're not a dickhead or whatever and yep no worries we'll take you on go to kapuki go to singo when you're done come and parade with us and then we'll start your journey so i remember after singo i went and started parading with them and
I think the first thing we were going to start working on was like – they called it back then, they called it foreign weapons.
It wasn't called SF weapons.
It was like, you know, they teach you how to – and I think even back then they had like a couple of old grease guns and fucking – Yeah.
You know, I mean that was the – and to go there for like three hours on a Tuesday night and then, you know, maybe two weekends a month or whatever –
Look, it can work for some guys.
I'm not writing off the Chocos, man.
I think they have a capability.
They're guys that have other line of work and they bring to enhance the capability.
But for me, being 18 years of age, that wasn't what I was interested in.
It was just not going to work out for me.
