Jeez reading this a blokes getting all warm and fuzzy... I was lucky enough to get around a fair bit.
2 Aircraft Depot (Yuuuk, enough said)
478 Sqn (Malaysia)
481 Sqn (Newcastle)
486 Sqn (Sydney, two tours)
3 Sqn (Fighters also Malaysia)
36 Sqn (C130's)
TAAMS (Darwin)
Had a few overseas detachments to New Zealand and P.N.G. and a heap of short term stuff around Oz with the C130's to places like Townsville, Brissy, Adelaide, Tassy and some out of the way spots in W.A. and the East States outback when we used the Military a lot more than we do today to do 'National Assistance' tasking for flood and drought relief etc. Fodder drops were a bitch on the aircraft but the locals made sure you couldn't buy a beer at the local pub unless they bought you ten first.
2AD aside I loved almost every minute (sober or otherwise) and would do it all over again in a heartbeat... 'cept I'd drop something on those rrsehole pollies in Canberra who totally screw over the Defence Pensioners. Sorry, didn't mena to wax political but jeez they give me the shytes
