i received my orders today..

6 months providing security for the jap builders..

looks like april is the starting month..

oh well.. it was bound to happen one day, at least the money is tax free..

i have been training since 1990, its a bit like training for a football game and always sitting on the bench when a game is played..

so, in a way i am happy, but then, in a way i am not..

i will be doing some full on training b4 i go, prolly will have time to drop in at an RE bash or two.. ;)

i have a feeling that this won't be the last time i do overseas service, the way wars are popping up around the world there will be a lot a work to do..

i am going to miss my wife and son.. :(

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori

Just make sure your in the back of an aslav and no hanging off the side of it when some sand monkey drives a carload of explosives up to you

you should be fine, low risk mission buddy

That's pretty gay when there is a wife and kid involved.

Just think of the phat lewt you will be bringing home.

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori


Stay safe. Keep your head down. Don`t give up. You might see hell. You might not.

You will meet alot of nice iraqi people. Don`t be an ass to them.

Stay safe

60 years ago the japs were trying to kill us, now we're putting our QGL gamers lives on the line to protect them in the middle of the desert somewhere :P

that's funny.

but seriously, take care, good luck

Why is everyone telling Primal it's sweet and glorius to die for his country? ... come back safe and make the other dude die for his if it comes to it.

Remember this quote matey:
Victurus te saluto - He who is about to win salutes you :D

gl dude. You'll have plenty of stories to tell at the pub when you get back.

Hey Primal. When you put your hand, in a bunch of goo that a moment ago was your best friends face...well, you'll know what to do.

Good luck man!

8-)

Enjoy shooting people my friend!

remember primal, the nade laucher is for lamers.

so many bf2 jokes, so little time. but seriously, get home safe. it's a s***ty job but someone has to do it. muchos respect.

as if bf, cs 4lyfe.

primal what part of iraq will you be in do you know?

LOL! you guys always crack me up..

thankyou..

it is on the low risk side, which is a good thing

i am still going to sleep with one eye open though :P

dont TK

Good luck man, take care. There's no respawns in RL.

Don't shoot hostages or you'll get less money. And just get an AWP so you can shoot your enemies through walls.

and don't forget the cheaty wallhacks + aimbot... since if you screw-up, there isn't gonna be a respawn :P

anyway best of luck and may you return safe and in one piece.

Stay alert dude

QGL-RQR

where are u going to?

he's going to war

Cigarette burn a prisoner for all the boys at QGL.

Why dont they send their own troops to protect their own soldiers?

I'm a fanboy of army training, but hate the thought of actually going to war or being involved in other such duties.

mmmm. naked iraqi prisoner pyramid spoot. remember to cover up their privates with the qgl symbol.

Good luck man and stay safe.

Whoa dude, best wishes while you are over there. Teach them the ways of the QGL and keep us posted with what you're doing, assuming it doesn't bust any army secrets

why would they be sending you on 6 month adventure training ex to Iraq, there's a war going on over there ??

oh wai

gl mate, i'm sure you'll be fine and do Australia (and QGL) proud :)

Oh f***

UNIDENTIFIED gunmen had opened fire on Australian soldiers patrolling near Iraq's southern city of Samawah, the chief of the Australian Defence Force said today.
Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston said no Australians were injured and no shots were fired in return.

Two gunmen escaped into the darkness.

Air Chief Marshal Houston said a second six-month rotation of 450 troops was preparing to go to Iraq under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Peter Short.

Their job remains the same as the first rotation – training the Iraqi military and providing security for Japanese military engineers.

"At this stage we are just focused on this rotation. There is no training going on for a further rotation. What happens after is entirely a matter for government," he said.

Why dont they send their own troops to protect their own soldiers?

Because it is against Japan's constitution to send it's soldiers to other countries unless it is in the defense of their nation.

lasting legacy from WWII ^

true that

Primal: trog was saying he was talking to you and you were in the police force now?

have you been called up from the reserves? or did you volunteer for full time service? from your post i assumed you werent that keen on being sent so i assumed you had been called up. however, i didnt realise reserves had been called up? as in made to go.

i got a phone call from my WO who asked nicely and gave me some valid reasons for me being there..

my state gov. boss is a little on the peeved side, in a big way..

there is no general call up of part time soldiers..

most will be full timers, they just needed some part timers who have selective and useful skills..

normally a part timer needs to sign up for a year or 2 full time for overseas service..

i don't..

Which would be different to what they are doing now... how?
