So I'm doing the job and I fucking hated it.
Yeah.
So technically I've been in IET for like fucking two and a half years now.
I'm on IETs.
It's the middle of the global war on terror and I'm in a fucking basement in Canberra.
And I remember vividly like this basically sums it up for me and I don't think I've said this before but โ
you've got a live, uh, you've got no access to the outside world.
You're in a basement, but there's like ABC news, 24 hours, like scrolling through.
And I look up and other soldiers being killed in Afghanistan.
They show the face of Bretwood Green Beret in his polys looking like a sick cunt, look like a hard cunt.
And an email comes out like another soldier has been killed while we've been at work.
Um, there'll be a vigil service at R1, which is one of the buildings where like the chief of the defense force and all those boys work across the, across the road.
Um,
um at 6 p.m and i was like oh okay everyone like all the boys it's like all the army boys i'm like oh we we're going to this memorial service site power respects and they're like no i can't it's fucking at six o'clock at night i'm going home i'm going to gym i'm gonna go cook dinner i'm like what do you mean cunt it's a fucking australian soldier just died for us and they're like nah not interested mate see ya
So I stood in the dark and like the cold Canberra night, six o'clock at night, it was pitch black.
And a group of commandos came out to brief all the APS staff and they read out his bio and who he was as a person.
And they're reading it.
And I'm like, this dude's a fucking sick cunt.
He's got a medal of gallantry for like running through gunfire and doing all this shit.
And there's fuck all people in the dark scene here, but the dudes with green berets that all look jacked, they all looked fit.
