Well, to my suprise, a Canadian team is supposed to be coming with this new breaking yesterday here. Kevin, did you work fast or what????? If this aint your doing, see if you can get on it if they have yet to choose some members. Be quick!
So, AASAM this year will be the biggest one conducted by Australians in many years with the following Countries sending teams, and attending this world class international MOUT/FIBUA based shooting competition:
Australia
British Army
Brunei
Canada
East Timor
Fiji
France
Indonesia
Malaysia
New Zealand
Papua New Guinea
Philippine Islands
Singapore
Thailand
US Army
USMC
Where? Singleton, New South Wales
When? November
The weather? Expect hot and cold (45C to 10C)
The beasts? Many, yes all those nasty bities, plus the cute cudly ones too
The beer? We won't go there YET :blotto:
The Sheilas? Women out number men here, so the odds are in your favour and they just love us Canucks
Singleton Military Area? Home of The School of Infantry, and the Spl Forces Trg Centre, and a country town by the same name which hosts about 10,000 people, and full of Army haters ;D There has been some good fights in the past, adn I am sure the SoI keeps up the tradition.
Wait though, its one of the best wine regions in the country (do a search for Hunter Valley Wineries), and lots of non-local females from Sydney etc, swarm on the weekends to a local haunt called Harrigans (do a search for this place too), a country Irish pub and eatery out in the middle of nowhere. A good place on a Friday night, cook your own T-bone, swill yourself to whatever degree you want to, and dance your face off should you so desire.
However, be ready for the next mornings shooting!
There will be a wet mess, offering cheap grog, chips and mars bars, plus Tshirts, hats and beer holders. TVs and an area for news papers, etc. Good food, good eating mess, and good huts, all Viet Nam vintage (clean and cumfy), and we'll all be housed in a recently modifed for real fairdinkum concentration camp destined for unruly mobs of illegal aliens, called Centre Ridge. We called it Stalag 13 last year. All the razor wire and 14ft high chain link one can phathom, doube fenced, etc. Mobs of roos keep the grass short, while bird eating spiders keep the swallows and sparrows at bay.
Anyway, I am stoked that the CF is sending a team (its been 3yrs), and I look forward to catching up with a few other Canucks on whats new back in the Land of the Maple Leaf! For anyone that reads this thats going, be prepared for the most fun time of your lives. With over 15 countries in attendance, the competition will be fierce, your mil-skilss will be put to the test, and the socialising will be better than you can EVERimagine.
