Members from Mentoring Task Force – Four conducted a familiarisation mounted patrol with 3RAR Battle Group Mentors, Platoon and Section Commanders to meet with key Afghan National Army personnel and also to familiarise the drivers and crew commanders with the operating environment in the Dasht. The convoy visited Patrol Bases Musazai and Hamid in the Mirabad Valley. 3RAR Battle Group Junior Commanders were introduced to key Afghan National Army leaders to discuss tactical and logistics issues for future mentoring.

"Someone is trying to send us morse code, wait, no, that's the mortar line, must be the stainless jaffle iron lid working overtime." Give me a yell next time your away, I'll send you a spare set of hinge pins in a care package half way through.

Just a rifle coy pleb now, but thanks to bushmasters I can take my jaffle iron with me any where I go. But seriously just send bulk stick mags, BULK stick mags.

I really really really want this, but not in wrong hand drive.

[digrar]

That's in correct hand drive, instead of the French hand drive you have adopted. Sword hand ready to engage people coming from the other direction = correct.
