I read that article earlier. Sad to see a guy go from being proud to serve to disappointed. Happens allot though.

All going well he still has his mates and they are what count.

At the end of the day you don't do it for the money.

Still sad but.

[Never had any say Panda]

Always wanted to join the defence force.. Wasn't a monetary motivation either.. Never made it in.. Hats off to the blokes that do..

I think they deserve more.. Especially for OS deployment.. Fark me as a govy engineer you earn 20-40k more in the roads department than you do in the defence force..

Not all professions have the luxury of having a fairly high earning capacity in the city like sparkies though bud.
