They could give everyone ninja masks. Cuts out the drama when you can't see the lower lip wobble though.

All of the pics I post either on 2nd Commando or SASR are from the ADF media section on their website. In regards to identities, they still cover faces and blur out if not covered but it is not anywhere near as strict as it is with the Brits.

Brilliant photos.
Thanks, Vor'.
the AUG looks even worse on parade than the SA80/l85a1/2. I know a minor point for a military rifle.
I'd like to see the Captains mag change drill.

Cool pics as always.
You'll find a lot of the JTAC guys from No.4 SQN, end up jumping ship & joining the Commando's.
Whats the current entry stream for JTACs? Are they taking ex-Arty JTACS or only RAAFies?
Not to sure, i can only say what my Adgie mates have told me about it. As far as i know JTACs have to be Commando qualified, so as long as you pass & meet all requirements i dont see why they wouldnt take anybody. I believe 4 Sqn role is to support SF operations.
