Thread: Employment Opportunities

Mate, how are those arm chair experts in AULRO?
Who made comments regarding military incompetence/ blame shiffting B.S ?
As far as I know for what I have read here are some very nice people and many of them ex serviceman as well.
Even if I am against war, I respect the work that our service man and women do OS.

Have a nice evening

Same as Chucaro ^^^

I haven''t noticed anyone dissing the military chaps/girls at all. Bit confused about that last sentence

Good to hear what you have been up to over there though.

Cheers
David

Bro,
I suspect there are few on here that have gone loud.

now the bad boys in the A who were set up by our friends the Pakis, armed by the Yanks, taught how to improvise by a few Kiwis and poms, who learnt how from pulling to bits IRA toys if they didn't end up in bits them selfs and who were in part funded by the yanks BLA BLA

any way you had a nice trip, try being a blue eyed boy and tabbing 1/2 of it.

no armchair here, just respect, for before then and the now

Yep you lost me as well T1...

Would you like to dig out some of these examples of "armchair expertise"?


Most of what I have seen in this thread has been most of AULRO being amazed, saddened, impressed, elated, shocked and amused by BBCs presentation of the world as it is.

If anything I have learn't two things from this thread, neither of them military related:

1) Children will always be children, even in the most dire of circumstances.
2) "It's never really full until there is at least one goat on top"

As can be seen here with what has to be deemed as near empty loads







b'cos there ain't no goats on top....

Compared to this load:



where the real 'goat' is actually behind.....pushing the load.

I love the photo of the bus, I can hear the driver saying, "come on, there is a more room at the far end"

The ute is a classic I saw some pics of a Peugeot 404 in India with more people on it than a Toyota Coaster

Keep posting

Mate of mine who worked with me in Afghanistan sent me these today. He has a challenging role supporting the US Dept of State's commitment in Somalia. These are photos of the aftermath of the VBIEDD attack of the African Mission Somalia (AMISOM) 17th Sep 09 that were sent with his e-mail below:

"Please excuse a group e-mail but spare time is something that I don't have at the moment. Many thanks for your thoughts either by e-mail or phone. It has been a challenging 3 days. The Somalia Operations Manager is in hospital in Nairobi about to undergo another round of surgery - he suffered an open fracture of the tibia and fibia in his right leg (this is the reason for the current surgery); fractures to his tibia and fibia in his left leg; lacerations of his head; 3 X fractured ribs; and lacerations on his arms and while out of danger he is still listed as Serious but Stable.

We also lost one of our local employees and a LT from the Burundians who was acting as an interpreter to our team. Additionally, we had to coordinate the aero-medical evacuation of 21 X Critical patients (1 of whom died in flight) from Mogadishu to Nairobi; the repatriation of 17 X bodies from Mogadishu to Entebbe (12 of whom we then coordinated the post mortems and embalming before flying them back to Bujumbura, Burundi yesterday).


To say life is hectic would be an understatement. I will be flying into Mogadishu on Tuesday to inspect the site and look at options to go back in. We can't afford to leave a gap in the level of support for the guys doing the hard yards - the AMISOM soldiers.

Attached are a few photos of the aftermath we are very lucky we didn't lose more."

o Immediate vicinity Managers’s Office




o DI compound entrance to HQ Building



o Air Ops Vehicle on top of the VBIED - notice the larger rims of the VBIED



o External shot of DI compound immediately next to the DI building



o Internal shot – Manager’s Office.



Mmmmm...methinks there might be a pretty serious security review underway...

This is horrible BBC, please pass our thoughts and support to your friend there.
Which kind of weapon can make so much destruction?
