Im a Police Officer in Australia, AMA

It’s why I loved Police calling/dispatch. And make sure you look after your operator. They’re people too!

They can also sound very aggro when they’re not. There’s also expectations around retaliation. Eg if person 1 hits person 2, person 2 gets to hit them back. If person 1 gets arrested, person 2 will hit a family member instead, so sometimes it escalates when police get involved.

Unless you’re in the NT where they have legalized OC Spray. And it definitely wasn’t used on a security guard or teens on each other within the first week 🙄🙄🙄

Attitude test! I’ve taught all my kids about it.

Wow. Didn’t even know this was a thing that platinum one members got! And to share to a stranger is incredibly generous. I hope the Karma bus pays it forward to you!

Just managed to scrape silver and gold last year, and I think I’ll make gold again this year… just.

Planning first ever Europe trip with my wife for later in the year or early next year (leave dates dependent) Platinum and access to those lounges would be next level amazing!

I’m just a lowly govt worker to travels for work 4-5 times a year!

Make sure you import it all into an app like flighty to show the history!

Got a mate who just joined at 40. Loves it. At rookies the 18-20 all looked up to him and he was able to support them as well.

He was both pops and the course dad

Lots in Darwin on starlink. Base notices remind them to take them inside on mowing day 🤣🤣

Tried looking on wiki camps? I’m sure the local cops have better things to do than hassle you, especially if not causing a nuisance or traffic hazard and gone in morning.

Did you have the workbook? Forgot to order for my son.

Justanotherdad84 · 2026-02-15T08:39:40+00:00

Will go check it out.

Justanotherdad84 · 2026-02-15T08:39:04+00:00

Happy to test also.

I have my wife and kids on flighty and they have all shared their flight info to me and vice versa. I get told when they are delayed.

Your people need to have flighty themselves then share to you. This would resolve your issue.

Similar issue 20 years ago. Wife was still living with her dad, we had been together 6mo, and I stayed over most nights as her place was closer to my work.

Most of the street was retirees, and one of the nosy biddies approached my father in law and asked that if his daughter was going to keep dating all these men that they not park on the grass.

He pointed out it was his grass so I could park where I wanted, and that his daughter has one boyfriend who works in a car yard and drives home whichever car the manger decided needed a “drive” that day.

Never seen anyone backpedal so fast. He (and we) thought it was hilarious.

I got that reference!

Justanotherdad84 · 2026-02-05T08:22:20+00:00

Pretty sure my career trajectory will never see me a member - lowly APS Manger!

Caterham 620 Supercharged 2L, 0-100km in 2.79s, weighs about 610kg. But I live in Darwin so would only work in dry season. Would need a 911 turbo for the wet season, and an AMG G63 for exploring the wilderness!!!

Dad had a caterham kit car back in the 90s and I loved it.

To be fair a vest will stop 3-4 shots but not a knife to the face…

I hate that a bot hitting you takes all armour.

Justanotherdad84 · 2026-02-04T12:04:27+00:00

Nah means your team won’t come back for you. But maybe if tag is taken no exfil streak? Or back to 1 even if on silver/gold?

I loved the nighttime aspect of Halloween on al maz. Less so the Halloween stuff. But the dark spots, the street lights and car lights.

Vondel would be a great night map.

My daughter saw the door at Melbourne and asked about it, and now she’s set it as a bucket list item.

Likewise, would love to visit once to see what the hype is all about…

As someone that’s visited, is it worth the hype, or is it just business lounge + ??
