@GaardTech @LandForces_Expo It’s looks like a Roomba on steroids/acid

@beserko Thanks mate, look forward to it, I'll let you buy me a beer

Humbled by the efforts the Bty put into my farewell gift, I'm also reminded of the fact " ...if they make fun of you, you're doing something right - that or they nailed my persona"

[Colin Soane @GameofSoanes]

@JamieFo07786338 no, but it made the highlight reel for the EOY presentation, so I accepted my fate

@tessikonomou A galaxy far far away.... or Canberra, depends how the rental market looks

Turns out pushing 2.2 tonnes of Howitzer up a hill is actually really hard, but thankfully it was for a good cause in Oasis, Townsville. Thanks to everyone who came out to cheer us on.

" The mess is more than bricks and mortar...", last night was the largest Officer's mess event by attendance in North Queensland history, it was also a great night... even if we all just ended up talking shop.

@AJDearmer ....both spellings are acceptable...you try typing with this thumbs

[Colin Soane @GameofSoanes]

And with that the annual Kingsford Challenge is done! Im exceptionally proud of how the Bty did with the unique balance of mental and physical challenges. As always it included the two knowns of any challenge.... jerry can carriage and chaff

[Colin Soane @GameofSoanes]

The Battery sent one of our own on this a week after ROBC, by all reports both a humbling and thoroughly rewarding activity.

[ADFinPNG @ADFinPNG]

Exercise TUARI ATA is an exciting new activity conducted in PNG by #PNGDF and #yourADF. It is designed to enhance the leadership and tactics of young Officers through military history (studying and walking the ground). More to follow from Matapau...

@c28why Sorry let me clarify, yes it is circumstantial and yes I am supportive, I imagine this would be received the same as an "Up or Out" style of promotion model

[Colin Soane @GameofSoanes]

"Can't run.... can't lead" a potentially controversial principle to implement, I once got told that "experience and knowledge is no use at the bottom of the mountain" https://t.co/dz3JXUBEGU

[Colin Soane @GameofSoanes]

@c28why That you can be as wise and knowledgable as you want but it's no good if you can't get to where that knowledge is needed....because you've got a chit for warfare at own pace

[Colin Soane @GameofSoanes]

Exceptionally proud of the lads and their efforts during the floods, was also great to see the lads sharing common experiences with a fellow veteran in David, a humble gentleman who just wanted to show his gratitude for their assistance

[7NEWS Townsville @7NewsTownsville]

A 98-year-old veteran has had a heartwarming reunion with the Townsville soldiers who rescued him from his flooded home in February. Report on 7NEWS at 6pm. #7NEWS

@henrikrpaulsson That PowerPoint mandatory training is neccesary annually to remind me not to eat asbestos or commit fraud

Great pics of the Regt testing a new capability, proud the Battery got to play a part in this process. And would you believe the photos were taken by the Unit photographer? #ArmyInMotion Artillery: Joint, Accurate, Responsive, Dependable
