Fred and Emma were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Fred suddenly jumped into the deep end.
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Emma promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out.
When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Emma's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Emma the news she said, 'Emma, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love...
I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Fred hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'
Emma replied: 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?'

Those fitness standards aren't just for Kapooka. The different levels continue once enlisted and must be passed on a yearly basis. Correct - for male/female, and based on age also.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course but I think that is one of the worst pieces of advice Ive ever read. Service in the ADF will always be beneficial and provide plenty of opportunities for betterment. If you enjoy going through a longer wait during recruitment due to being male, being held to higher standards due to being male (Eg: fitness tests that will see you kicked out if you repeatedly fail), yeah, it's great. An absolute honour to put your life on the line to serve an establishment that discriminates against you. Bug, the fitness test for recruits is different, yes; For men: 15 push-ups, 45 sit-ups, 7.5 shuttle run score. For women: 8 push-ups, 45 sit-ups, 7.5 shuttle run score. Less push ups. To get to basic training (Kapooka), one needs to pass the PFA. Once at Kapooka, on the 2nd day, you must pass the PFA. If you fail, you go home, and get to try again. Male & Female! The standards ( education, medical etc ) for entry are the same across the board. Don't meet the standard, don't get recruited!

Will you all be planting larger gardens and increasing your food production this year due to the shortages predicted in many places? Unfortunately don't have much room - I even have containers spread all over the back yard with veggies in them. I'd love to rip up the back lawn and make it a veggie garden, but I don't think the homeowner would appreciate it.

I got given a few asparagus roots by Spinifex a few months ago, and planted then in pots. Well, I have shoots - and an ear of asparagus as well. I have no idea what to do, or what I am doing, but it sounds impressive that I'm growing asparagus.
Also, I bought a reduce lemon tree at Bunnings for $8. It's still about 20cm tall, but has about 6 lemons on it.
Some of my tomato seedlings are coming up, which I'm happy about.

Still will need land based weapons - yes we have a large area to defend, that's why land based sites of importance are to be protected.

I am a pyromaniac who likes studying medieval warfare. Or "If it won't burn, make it". Helpful hint: Don't throw sealed tie rod ends into a fire to burn the grease out. They explode violently. I was lucky that time! You'd have loved playing with me & my mates - Fireball soccer. Heap of rags soaked on kero, moulded to make a round ball, tied with chicken wire, goals two flaming posts, light the ball, played at night of course, and fireball soccer begins! Headers are optional, but not recommended!

Unfortunately, for us, the sideline isn't an option. We have treaty obligations to uphold.

Decided to rip the van out now and build 2 rooms at the back instead - lot of wasted space now being utilised. First pad laid, and names etched in. Went back 2 weeks ago, and almost finished this side - slowly getting there.
