I've been reading through all the pages on these forums over the last few days and I think we all know the 'New Recruit Questions' section is just a clusterfuck of 'noob' enquiries.

Instead of everytime a kid considering the army (or airforce etc) has one of those little questions like "can I take my own gear, do we have to shower in front of everyone, am I fit enough, what's the F88 like" etc, I figured they could just use this thread, for those one off questions that don't merit a whole thread.

I'll start off by asking:
Is it stupid to actually hope for an hour or two of "fee time" (by that I mean time you can use to sort out your kit, clean shit etc) a day while at Kapooka?
Also, what's the nearby pub like? Any Guinness? :drinkers:
*you can disregard that last question*

You will get time to clean your kit.
There is a boozer, we were told early on in the piece that we wouldn't be spending much time there as we were going to have top notch brass and boots instead and they were right (I don't know about the boots and brass, but I can hardly recall what the boozer looked like).

Ahwell, I had my first pint of Guinness last night after weeks and weeks off the drink.
Could hardly finish it. Not very Irish of me was it. :(

I went neither last time I was out in the bush (2 days, so hardly anything) and ended up with a mega sweat rash between the thighs anyway. **** of a thing.

AusMilitary.com is Australia's leading military discussion forum. Originally formed back in 2004 as AusSpecialForces.com as a forum for, by, and about the Australian Special Forces, the forum has since widened it's scope to include all members and branches of the ADF as well as our honoured guests and allies from overseas. Despite some sections being open to the public, the forum still enjoys the membership and advice of respected members of the Special Forces and Special Operations Forces both local and international, as well as those from elite specialities in the conventional forces. From recruit training right up to SF selection tips - if it's frank and honest advice you're after, you'll find it here.
