I paid about $60 from Kennards. The local Geelong paper also has the $20 Kennards Kash you can use. I went to the Kennards in Belmont.

Upon first sighting I thought this thread had something to do with a sex change.

Black Spur is a nice drive

Lol. Here we go. White Collar vs. Blue Collar. Supply and demand determines wages. It's cheaper and easier to find someone to hold a sign outdoor than to find a suitable engineer to design the road. The engineer has 5+ years of education and experience, isn't it fair that he get rewarded? My...

It's that easy to work an office job? At my last job, we all stayed in the office for some crazy hours and supplemented it all with hours spent at home on our laptops. We may not be doing physical work, but we did plenty of actual work. I've stayed up plenty of nights preparing things, doing...

You have 2 ears, 2 eyes and 1 mouth. Use them in that order. I think the catchphrase is "Big eyes, big ears, small mouth".

Don't ever volunteer for anything Never say yes when asked about having a motorbike licence or being a former cadet Never say "but Sergeant, that's not how we did it in cadets" Be the grey man, don't come first or last Don't be gobby Pull your weight and take responsibility for everything you...

If only you could do part time apprenticeships. We had plenty of part time students who worked their full time jobs and studied. A lot of people can't afford to drop a full time job when there's rent, food, kids etc. That way you graduate in twice the time (sometimes less) and finish up with...

We've got apprenticeship like situations. A certain degree at Monash has the employer pay all fees, books etc (effectively over $10k a year, which is about $5 an hour) and then gives the student full time work during all vacation breaks and guarantee's a job at the end of it. The learning is...

Few things wrong here, straight from the mouth of a Commerce graduate. Earning nothing? Most people work jobs at Uni, it sounds like most pay about double what most apprenticeships pay. I worked at a Woolies Petrol making $18p/h ish. On top of that we've got 4 months of holiday between...

DFR will do anything to meet their quota. Although when I was going in as a Reserve Finance Officer initially, the careers guy talked me out of it. He asked me if I'd rather sit behind a desk or play with guns after doing my civvy job. Don't do Chocs for the cash unless you're a strapped Uni...

We all wear the same uniform. I think you'll find rivalry goes on everywhere in the ADF. Section vs. section, company vs. company, Officer vs. OR, Service vs. Service, Full time vs. Part time. It's all good fun and we're all part of the same family. Apparently Choc Officers are the worst...

Going RMC in July.

Yep. LAMS. Most of the ole 2 smokes aren't allowed, which is a good thing. A lot of people come unstuck when they've got no idea what to do with the powerband, especially with right turns. The good thing is that you're allowed to ride higher cubed bikes. Ie. the SV650, CB400. Which I forgot...

The other thing is that the CBR is a tiny bike. I had an FZR, it's much bigger and better equipped for taller people.

Yes. A 1998 CBR RR with 8000km is most likely a 1988 CBR RR with 80,000km with an unknown engine and shagged out bits. 3rd party will be expensive, one drop will ruin the look of the bike and you're going to need to rev its tits off to get anywhere (revs to 20,000rpm). What do you want the...

Do you think a potential career move is worth giving an extra hour of time to? I'd say it is. Run 2.4km and see what you get. You want to run it in about 9:30 to have a good time at ole Pooks. Also get about 10 on the beep test.

Melbourne. Forget reasonably well. Look, cover, write, check if you have to. Applications have gone through the roof, if you get 5 guys before you who know the answers, who's going to get the job? Like it says in the document, it's a minimum. Call Woodside and talk to someone there and get...

If you nailed that interview without having the info in front of you. You'll do just fine. Hopefully we'll be wearing the same uniform soon.

Nothing at all. The aptitude test on your YOU day was where the maths ended. DFR sent you a YOU sesion prep pack. That has a list of questions and that's all that will be asked. Call your case manager now and ask for a phone interview booking. The defence interview will only ask that. They...

The interview will just be you. But be prepared to wait for long periods. Bring a book or iPod. You'll have possibly hours of waiting in between medical, psych etc. I'm pretty sure for OR's the interviews are conducted by WO's (double check with DFR on that). If you know about ranks and ADF...

Hahaha. I've talked to numerous people who've finished Pooks. Fitness is no longer a pre-requisite. A lot of people de-train by going there. A mate of mine (also in Arty at Woodside) lost fitness and muscle from ole Pookie. One less thing I have to worry about going in as an O.

Just got accepted as an ARA Officer. So I've been through all that stuff fairly recently. As for you assessment day. Know everything abot your role and corps. Seeing as you're going Arty, be able to talk in depth about all the equipment you'll be using. Basically memorise and be able to discuss...

Bachelor of Arts

Bit past your bedtime isn't it? Naughty boy, staying up late watching playboy stuff.

Only thing that popped into my head. Not that I know much about painting them, red.

Streetfighter = Crashed sportsbike with no insurance

Sri Lankans and Pakistani's? Since when?

Got an actuator for the boot of a VT/VX? Cheers

VicCop, haven't heard from you in ages. Probably because there haven't been any questions. Good to have you back.

Self Righteous little so and so. A very senior manager from head office got involved in my incident and despite me technically being a "thief" as repeated ad nauseam by the manager, I kept my job. I had some advice from a lot of people, all saying it's absolute bullshit and if KFC were to fire...

A letter I wrote about 3.5 years ago when I worked at KFC. The tossers offered me my job back and a choice of transferring to any store. I left soon afterwards after finding a much better job during my period of suspension. Senior management got involved and it turned into a hell of a fight...

So it's a penis size contest? First you complain about getting award wages (need for tipping etc), then in the next breath you start flexing your muscles about your huge tips. Lol. I'm glad you know something most of us don't.

What about his sick mate? ... It's an incomplete sentence. Your sick mate (should go to a doctor)???

Fair enough, it's what you did and you think it's for the best. I would never dream of it. The most basic thing you miss out on is education. How the hell are you meant to get a decent education if you're pregnant or have a kid? Of course education is not for everyone, but even doing a trade...

One of the joys of nature. Getting pregnant is probably the oldest trick in the book to snare in a man. We had a scumbag single mum who lived on our street who brought different men home every week. She used to joke that her sons dad pays for her nails, hair, makeup etc (which she got done...
