All

ADF linguists get down and dirty
The
cool pressed against my face is a refreshing change after
the heat of the sun. The
enjoyment lasts a few seconds until I realise that I can
smell something - dead mice. The kind of dead mouse that
was poisoned. And my face is gritty. I'm being forced into
some sort of easily-controllable stance. Arms stretched
out, and all movement restricted. I haven't been captured,
I'm not undertaking some secret training - I'm a linguist.

IF
IT seems that Aust Int Corps is always recruiting, it's
not a surreptitious mind invasion plot, or a figment of
your imagination. They are.

In
Terra's grip
A look inside the dark empire of Redback boots
How
did I get myself into this? The thought comes all too late
as I find myself alone in a dark alley, somewhere in one
of Sydney's inner industrial suburbs. Steam rises from a
nearby vent. There's the piercing screech of cats fighting
and the clatter of bins somewhere in the blackness.

Getting the best out of the system
We
have come along way over the past 15 years with regards
to our combat clothing and equipment. Fifteen years ago,
we were still wearing greens, carrying an M16 or SLR, wearing
webbing that had more metal on it than a BHP mine, an olive
green pack, which was too small and a light weight sleeping
bag.
