Crikey mate! It's the lads from down under, it's the Aussies!I could not allow the month of January to pass without an installment of Meet a Member of the Coalition! And who better to highlight than those laid back slip-a-shrimp-on-the-barbie troops? Their goofy desert dalmatian uniforms aside, the 900 Australians in theater are the second largest contingent behind the British and provide me with endless amusement as they irreverently walk 12-abreast down the road seemingly oblvious to vehicle traffic.
The Australians are somewhat less parochial with their rules and although fenced in and largely secured from eyesight, their beer garden and BBQ pit is a frequent reminder of why I've been visiting soyouwanttobeanaussie.com.
Signs of the Times
Now you just know that really only the Army would need to have this explained to them with a sign. Most likely there is also a checklist that goes with it and the requirement that a colonel must sign-off.

Nothing brings a smile to my face like Lloyd in "Dumb and Dumber":
Lloyd: That's a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?
Lady at bus stop: Austria.
Lloyd: Austria! Well, then. G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie!
I'm really interested to find out how you know U. of Pittsburgh Nursing students...
