Scott Jones

I come from Australian Signals Directorate.

I'm an EW operator.

And everyone's just like eyes glazing over like, who the fuck are you?

Why are you here?

The DS, his name's Wags.

And shout out to Wags, absolute sitcom, who's related to a few of our mates we found out later in life.

I didn't know at the time.

And Wags, I'm pretty sure, had done a few SOTGs in a mortar section.

And he goes, ah, interesting, electronic warfare operator.

And he starts spinning a Warii.

about bears to these grunts.

He's like, these cunts, mate, we couldn't, we're carrying these mortars around all day in Afghanistan.

We couldn't get rounds off.

And then the bears were able to triangulate a position where the enemy signals were coming from, where you could only use indirect fires to target them because they're in a series of compounds.

And he starts raining down mortars on this location blindly that the bears had given him.

And later on, when the assaulters cleared through that position, whole bunch of dead enemy.

So he got his first kills from mortars purely based off a bear's intercept and intelligence and analysis.

So as he's telling this story with a lot more gory guts detail, all the grunts just like staring at me like, oh.

okay, these cunts are good.

But if he didn't say that, they would have fucking – Of course, yeah.
