Sworn in as a PRes gunner on 20 Jan 1994. After a couple years of trade school and the birth of my first son, CT'd to reg force on 3 May 2002.

Just received my CD last month, only a year and a half late. It's funny, some days I feel like I've been in forever, other days it feels like I joined yesterday!

scheme which ties up a large number of technicians for long periods
in non-productive duties is of direct assistance to the enemy.

27 May 1993 as PRes Armd Crewman.  Been there ever since (except for a couple of years ED&T when the civvy boss sent me down under to help build army cars for the ADF, and another 2 attached to the Guns) though with a little less armour than we used to have :( .

When did I join? When these guys were Top of the Pops, and I had about as much hair as they did:
