Yes, and verbal recordings as the batteries were firing in nam. He has that.
Saddest thing is I talk to him and spend more time with him than his 3 Kids who are my age. He hasn’t heard from.
One time he told me in nam as he was commander of the centaurion tanks, go this way, jungle got too thick to get through.
Load cannister shell, ready, Fire. Blew the jungle out the way so they could advance forward. Haha. I think he said the cannister round was loaded with 3/8" or 1/2" ball bearing steel shot. Now that’s a big ass shotgun
That is rough, People don’t realize until its too late that they should have kept in touch more, asked this, talked about that with their parents. It will hurt them later in life if they don’t make peace as they will always wonder what if. Very sad. I feel for him.

Well I guess a Politician would have to be involved. This whole saga stinks of a Politicians stinky involvement. Also has to be some one high in defence who has been butt hurt and seeking a scapegoat for defence failings maybe? Plus weak politicians and state services types who want a job with the U.N after they are out of office and want to show the U.N how Fair and Just and how much of a crusader they are for justice for sneaky talips and the like at the detriment of their own countrymen.
The mainstream media I can not stand. So many times I have seen them twist the news to fit the agenda their financiers are pushing. There is an agenda behind all of this. Its just a part of the attack on Western values and way of life, your heros are not meant to be the traditional heros any more but should instead be the likes of Grace Tames, Brittany Higgins and our ole mate Greta NoFunberg. The media have a lot to answer for in pushing fear and mis information on the public, the ABC, 7, 9 being the ones I’ve seen the most but I’m sure others do it too.

Yes why he’s stuck local to me, I tried contacting his kids my cousins myself. No responce. Sad for him but I pick his day up as I am very proud of him, told that to his face. Always have been and always will be. There’s not alot of people that can hang the medals he has on their chest, they gonna need a big chest. But he is calm, cool, collected, don’t do things irrationally, but when it’s called for. Had a whole bay with SLR, M16, 12G, M79, used to line the belt feed trays for the twin MAG58’s with alfoil so they don’t misfeed firing over 1100rpm each.
We were talking one day about the Chinooks. He said yeah rattly effin things but do the job, in Nam he was right there when the yanks did an air drop and the link something for the blades broke and it did a backflip right in front of them. They immediately upgraded that part. He showed me the photo. Wow.
Another Commander of Cavalry as you sit up top in the cupola, he knows him just passed recently, in nam a big burst of MG fire hit him right through the neck one round, he survived until recently but disabled as hit the spine cord. My Uncle was on board treating and getting help instantly as in the same convoy.
I could go on for ages, but I’m glad he’s shared the bits with me his kids will never ever know. Don’t seem to want to know or even wish him happy birthday. My hero

Righto… I’m still busy, trying to get on top of what I have here… not sure if I have time to get a video up for tomorrow see how I go, got three blasters to finish tomorrow taking priority over entertainment.
This is one.
A wellpro M4 cqb skeletonised thingy.
Nice externals, wellpro gearbox came with all the standard wells shitness, but had 7mm bushes and a ETU. ETU naturally was fucked, and this is for a mate that’s a bit on the simple side when it comes to electronic shit.
So ditch the ETU, bang in a switch and cutoff lever, able to use the stock wiring no problem at least… See how it goes! Budget reliability build with minimal cost. Only a piston, piston head, remove the delay chip, shimming and 3 teeth of short stroking, minimal parts. See how it goes soon!
Hopefully with radius and a super light piston and piston head, and a spacer between the box and barrel this thing will last him a long time with no issues.

Took a day off I’m lieu yesterday and caught up on some blaster work and doctors appointments.
Made really good progress on the blaster but I have neglected the videos, so I might have a short one rather than the planned full episode this week, there will be something at least either way!
Putting all my efforts into catching up just led to taking more on and needing to catch up again lol.
Circle of tech life!

Crikey, these people are not trained properly, they should know this, the basics at least. But they have no clue what an animal is. It is shocking.
