Canberra, I have a close friend living in Canberra. He's one of the ADFA boys. Living and studying off our (taxpayers) money

Thanks for the congrats, Fas (I don't think craig is going to show up in time, before me leaving for the weekend

...) I'll make sure to check the sig on Monday (among other things

) ** SLURRs some more beer ** Have a good weekend too!

Anything on hand. I've still got the Electrified Composite headbanger C0cktail Eerhardt ordered for me.

I've never been outside NSW myself.

Fair enough.

Yep, he gets paid to study Aeronautical engineering at the University of NSW. Everything else, accomodation, food etc are all covered by tax payers money. They only take the best, plus he has a very good job waiting for him when he finishes. Yep, the ADFA guys all get paid to study, well thats what I know of.

I guess the only catch to that is military service.

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Fri Jul 26, 2002 8:29 am

Yeah thats the big catch, he has to do the basic training and the extra survival training in different environments if he is going to become a pilot.

I can see some people joining up so they can fire a weapon.
A couple of friends joined the Cadets and said firing a Styer (sp?) was their highlight.

Cadets

A lot them applied, I know a few of them. But they didn't have the academic credentials to back them up.

Anyway must run now

Good morning, or evening, wherever you happen to be.

Now, how about a drink?

** pours BS a glass of MC² ** tag-team thing going on here again - sorry I can't stay, BS

- great to see you drop by, though

@josh: c ya, buddy @all: have a good weekend! ** heads for his sleeping pint **

Ode to a Grasshopper · Fri Jul 26, 2002 9:08 am

I might be able to stay for a bit longer, @BS. Got any Turkey left?

Tybaltus · Post by **Tybaltus** » Fri Jul 26, 2002 9:13 am

Hmmmm. Since Ive only been here a week, Im going to ask a stupid question. Is that OK? (That wasnt my question). Well, could someone care to tell me how the World Cup changed from a soccer/football championship into a bar?

EDIT-BTW Hello Ode, BS.

Bloodstalker · Post by **Bloodstalker** » Fri Jul 26, 2002 9:14 am

Of course I got Turkey, I never leave home (or stay at home) without it

@Ty, Rollinng Thunder winds up in every thread sooner or later

Later Eerhardt
