I am off at 5 almost everyday but I am also up at 5 everyday. Then there is the constant fear of being "washed back" for anything including medical, or personal emergencies. I have 100 days left and this sucks. Oh well, I think I just miss having all my time to do whatever I want with. All the people who just got out of basic love it here because they have more freedom. I hate it because I came from from home. Oh well.
I am long, long out but was in the Navy and went a lot of places: Antarctica, Vietnam (Binh Thuy in the Mekong Delta in the brown water navy), Japan, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Philippines, New Zealand, Samoa and the list goes on and on.
i made E6 in Jan 2006. I have been to Panama City, Panama; Lima, Peru; Manta, Ecuador; Cartagena, Columbia; San Juan, PR; Acapulco, Mexico; Curacao; Key West; Kiel, Germany; somewhere in Sweden (it was not really worth bringing up, but it is Sweden after all); and St Petersburg, Russia. I am currently an instructor at ET"A"School at NS Great Lakes.

Wow 4 1/2 year old thread but ill add to it.....
I have been discharged since 97 and they didnt really send Aussies anywhere much, up until Timor which i did a small stint.
Got out a a Corporal in 2nd Cavalry Regiment. Australia's only reconnaissance Regiment.
Went through the ranks as Driver, Gunner and then commander and finished my years in the Transport side of it because i got to broken and wasnt aloud in a Sabre Squadron ...
My unit took on the LAV25 a vehicle from Canada but after 8 years of trials we tweaked them for Aussie conditions. My old unit is currently serving in Iraq and have had some mates die there... RIP DIGGERS
