Hot stuff on Talisman Sabre
Pte Kathryn O’Brien
WHAT’S independent, ready for action anywhere anytime,
loves to travel and makes you feel great after a long
time out bush?
The answer is Wanda Memtec, 10FSB’s Shower System
Field Mobile, which can provide showers to 250 troops
over eight hours using recirculated water. I first met
her at Camp Rocky during the recent Exercise Talisman
Sabre when rumours were rife about a thing called Wanda.
The Yanks said she was “totally awesome” and
“without a doubt the hottest thing on base”.
People can get the wrong impression about a machine that
washes you with recycled water, so I decided to make up
my own mind. I saw hoses coming out in all directions,
jerry cans, a vast array of bottles, more flashing lights
than a spaceship and a giant spray of water shooting out
of a tank. Soap was supplied and there were no taps to
adjust. A 30-second warning was given to indicate the
four-minute shower was turning on or off.
Wanda recharged my batteries and definitely deserved its
reputation as the hottest thing on Talisman Sabre. |
