@strategic_tank @AUADRT @SOARMDAusArmy None taken, this guy had a tracksuit and everything! If that isn't testament to skill, I don't know what is?

@strategic_tank @gw14b11a32a @EliLea1 @TankerAussie @shadowrider65 @SOARMDAusArmy I cant talk for @SOARMDAusArmy but from a policy and doctrine standpoint, we may have to do some artistic interpretation

@strategic_tank @Nick_Alexander4 Rent your furniture, then you never have to deal with removalists breaking your stuff AND you get new (to you) furniture every move! Its like adult Christmas every few years!!

@RiceGareth Theres a reason they had to change the naming convention in 7-3-2 from non-armoured vehicle to non-AFV!

@bby_kays Coffee is my proof there is a God. Not a conventional God, but like, a hot, dark, liquid God that gives me energy and tolerance for people's BS

@strategic_tank @Bellapete001 Oh dear, if there was ever a picture of what right looks like when talking about development of professional instructors, it's that! Fantastic, so when do ours arrive?

@acbhondo @RSM_CMAusArmy @AustralianArmy @WONCOAAusArmy @SOARMDAusArmy It doesn't get any better than that, #emulategreatleaders always refreshing to have that injection of #whatrightlookslike after an all corps course. Well done Browney, we can't wait to have you back at the Wing.

@AustralianArmy @SOARMDAusArmy @strategic_tank Tank Gunners Course got after it and put steel on target with devastating precision. Another group of qualified Tank Gunners 'on the way' to ACR's across Australia, ready to #firefirstfast #forge

@strategic_tank @tom_j87 #knowledgenuke now it's a thing!

[Jim Clarke @FireFirstFast]

@strategic_tank @tom_j87 I think in light of recent events a new term should be coined - 'the knowledge nuke.'

The user of the term drops information with such moronically devastating effect that those in proximity are blown away with the fact someone conceivably believes it.

[Jim Clarke @FireFirstFast]

@strategic_tank @tom_j87 The mystery adds to the impact of the statement

[Jim Clarke @FireFirstFast]

@strategic_tank @SO2_Optimism Agreed.

The key interlock with key missing (yet still works 🤔) is a solid safety mechanism. I get it though, the Ops room can get dark and a laser is the perfect ambient light source!

@9B_Forge @EliLea1 @2805662 @TankerAussie @gw14b11a32a @paulscrutton @MatthewWatt803 @Trevor_Hillard @RenataHickson @CGibblet @Anthony_Bam Also better than an M1 on the bottom of the ocean between Townsville and magnetic island!

Would make a good artificial reef/ dive site though 🤔

@9B_Forge @Vegemite Pavlova? Shoeies? Hey world, you're welcome!

[Jim Clarke @FireFirstFast]

@anthony26Wcav @9B_Forge @EliLea1 @SOARMDAusArmy @CATCAusArmy @DG_TRADOC The opportunities that UAS provides as an aid to the existing safety framework is only limited by OICs proclivity to use it. The intent is not to replace anyone, rather to provide another tool for the enhanced enforcement of safety and instruction. Blended learning tool?

[Jim Clarke @FireFirstFast]

@9B_Forge @EliLea1 @anthony26Wcav @SOARMDAusArmy @CATCAusArmy @DG_TRADOC Beyond this, @Australian_Navy could incorporate this into target confirmation and effect of fire on target for over the horizon engagements. We would be closed minded to not entertain the idea of a discussion, modernisation is here, let's embrace it.

[Jim Clarke @FireFirstFast]

@9B_Forge @EliLea1 @anthony26Wcav @SOARMDAusArmy @CATCAusArmy @DG_TRADOC We already rely on UAS for recon/counter recon and STA utilise the capability also. It is no longer an emerging capability, it is here and can aid in our data collection, observation and safety framework. 1/2
