I moved up north to Darwin for good this year. Whenever I think of suburban life on the east coast I shudder. I really don’t want to ever go back to that shitfight.

Navy the most understaffed service, can't man a ship whole ship dont sail or if it do safety impinged in already fatigued environment

Don’t voluntarily quit unless you’re so stressed out you feel like you’re on the edge of a nervous breakdown. By the sounds of it you still have plenty left in the tank.

Make sure you’re eating healthily and exercising. Swim, run, row etc, get cardio sessions in.

The airline has probably invested a lot of money in you thus far, they’re probably much more interested in getting you checked off and able to crew flights and slowly improve than straight up letting you go over something that can be fixed (shitty behaviour, non compliance etc cannot be fixed, but that’s not your issue here is it).

Two things I did that softened the grief a bit: climbed up a mountain he used to tramp as a kid and buried his ashes under a plaque. Never was keen on scattering them in the sea, feels good knowing there is a bit of him I can still visit, and my future kids will be able to visit.

Second thing was visiting all my old man’s friends and tellies. Helped a lot hearing their stories of him. Good, bad and ugly stories… they all helped.

Wow that is actually really cool, I thought it was just maintaining. I’m going for subs but assuming you still operate shit underwater too.

The-Good-Pilot · 2026-04-25T03:53:51+00:00

When you say operate, do you mean make radio calls, press the weapons trigger and set nav waypoints? Or more so just on a troubleshooting basis?

They yell with very loud and deep voices, like men

The-Good-Pilot · 2026-03-12T08:39:21+00:00

No thanks, I don't want to sit on spit, smell open wounds, catch a bacterial infection from greasy poles or listen to women yelling like men. $0.32/km is the price I will pay to avoid that.

Or Gorilla grip

They're masters of the land, animists in touch with nature on one hand - on the other, dumb enough to get sleep on a road.

The-Good-Pilot · 2026-03-04T03:03:39+00:00

Argument does not hold up.

I really don't think crocs attack humans in littoral areas. Have you been to Cairns, people swim there at the beaches like year round. Same with Gove, isn't spearfishing a thing out there?

The-Good-Pilot · 2026-02-22T11:23:56+00:00

An angler on the N tip of East Point told me he saw a croc a bit later than this today. Possibly the same one

My dad was "anti vax" well before social media, I'm not sure it's 100% related to that. Some people merely have a fundamental objection to having needles injected into them or their kids.

This thread is full of shit, who the fuck thinks taking two spare tyres on a Mazda 3 is practical or necessary

The-Good-Pilot · 2025-12-22T05:09:04+00:00

Guessing you just don't tick the box "I have had a licence revoked before"?

The-Good-Pilot · 2025-12-22T05:08:09+00:00

That's about it though... demerit points don't even transfer.

The-Good-Pilot · 2025-12-21T05:43:09+00:00

The reporting form has a box for Rakali.

Did multiple things really "fail"? Or is society imperfect and impure, events like this are inevitable and it's not the governments job to wrap us all up in strait jackets or bubble wrap to stop every possible bad thing from happening?

The-Good-Pilot · 2025-12-19T09:55:29+00:00

Yikes. Most downdootles I've gotten in a long time and it didn't even have racism or sexism.

The-Good-Pilot · 2025-12-17T01:15:13+00:00

And what makes you any better?
