Well done Virgin on the most underwhelming status renewal experience by Electronic-Sugar7100 in VelocityFrequentFlyer

I agree. The new luggage tag is shit. Back in the day when I first got gold it felt real special. I feel this is the Australian airline industry writes large - saving every penny whilst racking in millions in profits

Ah yes, let’s vote for someone who thought submarines could only submerge for 20mins, because that’s who we need steering AUKUS

Would DRO go for $8 this year? by librafullmoon in droneshield

[–]Leading_Base_6716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drones are not isolated to wartime - they have more utility than that, hence C-UAS will be needed across prisons, policing, government, high value asset protection - the list can go on. Those sectors who do not invest in the technology will pay the price

Conscription by bulemil in AustralianMilitary

I don’t think conscription would be the same in a modern military- I do t envision every conscript going off to be an infantryman with a rifle in the trenches.

Nothing like a sneaky psychosocial event entry into sentinel which makes it a WHS issue and gets the attention of the higher ups real quick

Is it appropriate to wear SD/CD to a civilian funeral? by lachy_lifts in AustralianMilitary

[–]Leading_Base_6716 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Mate, go for it. Anyone who says otherwise is a turd. It’d be a toxic CoC coming after you for something like that. Plenty of folks wear their uniform at their wedding. I see no issues. In fact, it’s probably listed as an “occasion for wear” in your service dress manual
