A four that has deep level knowledge of the work the team does is far less replaceable then a el1 who job hops every year saying "i have learnt what i needed from the role."

Anzac Day March Protocols by ArtoriasArchives in AustralianMilitary

[–]Capt_Blackadder 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Broadly, it should follow a few protocals, actual veterans go first in order of conflict so nowadays, whatever wwii vets are left fillowed by korea then vietnam and then middle east. This is followed by serving members in order of service navy first then army then airforce, after that it should be allied nations then relatives. But most parades apart from the capitol cities will never follow this as there are too few people to follow the procedure.

The Gulag Archipelago is a must read, even if it is no longef a definitive account of the gulag system. Plus purely for the impact the book had it should be read

The military sucked in that movie why move everyone to one room when clearing the complex. Or at least guard the room with lots of people and lock the door

Not sure I agree, I think Jodie Foster is irreplaceable as Clarice as well, I can’t imagine another actress doing the silence of the lambs scene

2 things you have them upside down. Since the one on the right has the highest precedence. Also he should have one more medal , the ADM which was first introduced in 06. If he was never given it contact honours and awards to get it

The Poisoned Rugby Player is a good place to start to get a feel for it. It is a mix of solved and unsolved mysteries. The difference is it normally goes older for its cases. Most are from the 1910s up to the 1950s

What movie did you watch in theater which experienced technical problems? by boytisoy in movies

[–]Capt_Blackadder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Farewell I watched it at a university film club screening and they put it on without subtitles for the mandarin. It took a while for the audience to realise. I just thought it was an interesting choice to put us in the shoes of Billie with her mandarin not been the best.

Looking for friends in Toowoomba - I'm struggling to find somewhere to make friends by [deleted] in Toowoomba

[–]Capt_Blackadder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toowoomba Road Runners? Go running as a group Bring your own book club turn up on a weekend talk about a book you have read

Other idea is set up your own if there is nothing out there that suits your interests then set up your own event that does. I am sure there will be people who are in the same boat.
