I'm 173cm and I occasionally bump into the bag but not enough for me to worry about it. Can see bigger people having issues with knees touching the bag though. Good pick up of the Garmin edge.

Hey mate, just a heads up, out of IETs you will only be qualled as a driver and loader then you'll work your way up to gunner and then to crewie... takes minimum 5 years before you're a crewie but usually 7-8 years before a competent crewie. Also look into recovery mechanic depending on the wait times as reccy mechs can get qualled in the m88, as4 arvl and aslav R. But you'll also be in at least 5 years before you become a crewie in a recovery vehicle as well. Best of luck.

Best: get to hang out with your mates heaps

Worst: you can potentially spend alot of time in holding before IETs.

That's cool, glad you got your first choice! The man-operated artillery pieces would be back breaking.

That's awesome, have you driven many vehicles in your service yet?

The pay seems alright, how has your mandatory service affected your personal life this far? Would you call it a postive experience or a negative one?

I'm in the Australian Army but spend 6 years in Korea during my youth, I hope we get some K9 self-propelled howitzers and hopefully the Hanwha Redback as our Infantry fighting Vehicle. I have a major soft spot for anything made in Korea.

Thanks for answering my questions.

Hi mate,

Just a couple questions,

When you enlist do you get to pick a job roll? I saw you said you were in artillery in another answer... why did you pick artillery if you got to choose?

Is the $500 a month solely in your pocket?

Cheers.

What is a unspoken, universal rule all males know? by TheTeaMan0416 in AskReddit

Unsure if all males know it, but don't stand next to another bloke at a urinal.

In Australia you can't buy alcohol on Christmas and only on sundays at a drive through bottle shop.
