Recently for the first time in over 20 years all my boys are together.
The funny bit is we are truly an Australian family, Jason the eldest is a sandgroper, Fabian is a banana bender and the youngest Tony on the right is a Terroritorian, my partner in crime is a crow eater and me I'm a Victorian.
My family of which I'm very proud of, have all served this nation in the military except for Fabian who is a CFA fireman
All of us with our 2 grandsons

lovely pic and must have been wonderful to all be together - with scattered families it can be difficult getting together - sadly for my brothers and sister it's now usually a funeral that brings us together

Just looking at SGT Tony, is that the new dress 1A's? Although it''s a harks back to the old Battle Dress, it definitely looks better than the Vic Rail uniform we had.. great photo, and I'm sure great times mate.. Cheers...

Just to Digress slightly... when I was in Melbourne, I used to go to the factory that supplied The RAAF and many other government (called something like Government Clothing Factory) and buy uniform bits and pieces at about 1/4 the cost I could get it through the RAAF. But i stuffed up when I bought a new Battle Jacket and when I got home realised it didn't have epaulettes. It was actually a jacket for the railways or the trams or something. I got away with it for 2 years with my stripes on the sleeves though.. Even the WOD saw me quite a few times and never picked it up.
