Davo remember the crime is getting caught. I must of broken every silly little rule my training team gave me from week 1 till 7. " your not allowed to use the dohbi shop or washing machines" so what did i and a few others do. Never looked back since mate. Have even found a way now of getting off camp with no questions asked.

Sorry to hear about that Rambo!

Do you know after how long during training if you sustained an injury would they rather put you into Hunter Coy than medically discharge you?
I know it also depends on how serious an injury but say one that you could recover from while in Hunter coy then how long into training until they would rather put you into Hunter than discharge you?
I think that makes sense?

I think this bloke ought to just get out while he can. With luck like that, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near rifles/gpmg's, grenades... :o
