And just when the men thought morale couldn’t get
any higher ...

newspaper staff also liked:
Embarrassingly, many months were lost before the phrase
“new breed of tank” was clarified.
– Cfn Mark Delbridge, ACW, ALTC
Lt
Dawson’s plan for the new “Double Decker Tank”
didn’t go down so well with the hierarchy...

New
space saving requirements in the US Army meant that
the angle parking of tanks was essential.

Fielding
the M1A1 will decrease the time required for oil changes
and chassis work, since each tank acts as a tank-lift
for any other M1s.

Jimbo's official guide
Psychiatrist
update
Dedicated readers will remember a column some several months
ago in which I faked having something to write about by printing
the transcript from one of my psych sessions.
After that little incident and one or two other minor stalking-type
offences, a string of restraining orders and the occasional
high-speed chase, my psychiatrist (I believe we called him
“Bob”) suddenly discovered a long-lost and horribly
ill grandmother in Portugal. Imagine my surprise to show up
for our regular Wednesday afternoon to find Bob’s office
totally empty except for a yellow post-it note inscribed with
a single phrase – “see you in hell”. I assume
he meant it for someone else.
Anyway, no guide this week, just thought you might have been
wondering what happened to Bob.
The ADF is seeking a qualified psychiatrist (or even an enthusiastic
amatuer) to replace Bob. Applicants must be up-to-date with
all vaccinations. Contact DSTO Behavioural Abnormalities Research
Centre.
