Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing out parade at Puckapunyal It was a long march from cadets The sixth battalion was the next to tour and it was me who drew the card We did Canungra and Shoalwater before we left
And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the quay This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean And there's me in me slouch hat with me SLR and greens God help me - I was only nineteen
From Vung Tau riding Chinooks to the dust at Nui Dat I'd been in and out of choppers now for months And we made our tents a home, V.B. and pinups on the lockers And an Asian orange sunset through the scrub
And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep? And night time's just a jungle dark and a barking M.16? And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means? God help me - I was only nineteen
A four week operation, when each step can mean your last one on two legs It was a war within yourself But you wouldn't let your mates down 'til they had you dusted off So you closed your eyes and thought about somethin' else
And then someone yelled out "Contact", and the bloke behind me swore We hooked in there for hours, then a God almighty roar And Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon God help me - he was goin' home in June
And I can still see Frankie, drinkin' tinnies in the Grand Hotel On a thirty-six hour rec. leave in Vung Tau And I can still hear Frankie, lying screaming in the jungle 'Til the morphine came and killed the bloody row
And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel God help me, I was only 19
And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep? Any why the Channel Seven chopper chills me to my feet? And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means? God help me - I was only 19
And then someone yelled out "Trap thread!", and the bloke behind me swore We hooked in there for hours, then a God almighty roar And user got banned the day the day that Chris Chan turned into a pommy loon God help me - he was coming back in June
And I can still see user, being a faggot in my thread...
And the stories that OP told me never seemed quite real I saved some pics of Wojak and I didn't even feel God help me, I was only 19

>tfw want to be fighter pilot for the chairforce >too fucking tall according to their requirements (have to be within a certain height range, so you can fit into the cockpit/seat so you don't die or fall out when you need to eject). Feels bad man. I may as well either fly heavy transports, or just join the Navy or some shit. At my current physique and health, I don't really think I'll get in at all

Mate even if you got in to the airforce as an officer, the chance you would ever get your hands on some fancy airy fairy hardware is slim to none. The military fitness standards are fucking easy as piss initially, unless you join a combat corp in the army its easy as fuck to pass anything. If you cant get past navy or airforce fitness standards you should consider suicide.
