    Ask the Aussies that were in 6th battalion RAR that fought in the battle of Long Tan what the Kiwi 161 Battery did for them
    DAF and 308 like this.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    I suspect that unless they were after a specific target a sniper would just call artilery rather than expose their own position by firing a shot. Situation dependant i imagine.

    I have found that if you "gsp" your position, it only really works as a deterrent against vicious "sec ops" attack cats

    I work with a bloke that has not long got back from Afgan. He still sometimes forgets he is out of the Army. We were in the same unit and worked together over the years. Good bugger.
    He thinks technology is slowly destroying how good the NZ soldier once was. He reckons essential basic skills are waning, which is a shame.

    Incredible -that is quite an observation and the worse thing one can take from that is the head has no fricken Idea how to run the body --WHY?? Its a little like volley fire until gorilla war fare was actually recognized as a better system .
    Why did the navy by an Orange carrier ship ... the list of incompetent actions by the heads is insane

    I reckon if I ever went to prison, I would have to resort back to our primitive ways. Any homo's took a liking to my sweet ass, (who would blame them?) there would be shit rubbed and flung everywhere
