Let me take a wild bloody stab in the dark here beery, 1000-1 say u aint ever seen 1 days service in your life. Because IF u ever had you would know of what we speak. Its not just the Males FFS, its also the Nonmales (aint allowed to call em females u see). Front lumped soldiers are a bloody pain in the butt.
Hell I can count on 1 hand, how many over the years have be worth while. Its PC gone mad and any digger worth his salt will tell u that.
I cant remember the amount of times I have heard em say things like :
"Do I realy have to fire that thing"
"Ohh I cant lift that I'll crack my nail's can you lift it for me" refering to ammo box's whilst batting eyelids at some bloke.
"You call this a Toilet !!!! I cant use that." referance a field dunny
"Ohh I'm here to find myself a hubby" when asked why the hell did they sign up.
"My packs to heavy can carry it pls" only to find out latter ½ the damn local cosmetic shop is in there.
I can go on and on and on. These are just a FEW of the things we have had to put up with. The logistical nightmare they create with "personal sanitary items" we have to carry in the field store. Or when u have a 10 man section with 1 Nonmale in it. she has to bivawack up by herself, cant share with males, not allowed. So now you have a weak spot in your defence perimeter. This is not our doing but the higher up brass. Get a GRIP ppl, this is the Defence Force, your here to kill ppl.
Now days I will have nothing to do with em, the term WOFTAM always springs to mind.
