The white mornings, cut them down.
We didn't have white monsters back then.
Yeah, no, rip it.
But yeah, so 2014.
we get put into like AFO, which is our like green roll workup, like back to that amphib kind of jungle training and shit like that.
And, um, I did a bit of that and I, I, I deployed on like a low signature task because the SAS, our SAS counterparts over in the West tried to do a job in a certain location on another part of the world and they got carjacked.
And obviously we were like, fucking dumb cunts, you know, you should have sent us, blah, blah.
And they're like, okay, well, the next one we'll send you.
Let's go, Joe.
You're the TL.
Off you go.
I was like, oh, fuck.
Talked myself into this one.
So we get over there, did the job and yep, got shot at, got engaged.
And the two individuals I was there with, like one had done Afghan time and had like a combat badge and the other one didn't.
And this is the first time I'm probably saying this publicly, but we all laugh about it.
Got back to base, did not report it.
Did not report that we Australian soldiers got into a contact in a low signature gray roll deployment because we purely did not want the SAS to...
To have the upper hand.
That's the rivalry.
