Ran into an old mate
For those who know him i walked into local club in bundaberg last night and low and behold THUNDER BURKE last seen at reunion prior to that early 70s at albatross great to catch up before he heads for home back at humpty doo

I had a yarn with Thunderbolt at the reunion as well Rags. It was good to see him again after all these years. When doing a quick run up to Brisbane for some weekend leave, I dropped 'Thunderbolt' off at his home near Uralla, NSW. (hence the nickname from nearby Thunderbolts Rock) One thing I noticed was that unlike the rest of us, he has changed from how he looked in the 70's. wtf :P :grin:

Bizzarrrr
I was walking out of central station in Brisbane and I met one of the stewards I was in the Navy with at Kuttabul and on Manoora she is now an events manager at the Regent (posh one that starts with R) in Sydney. Good on her.

Met a pussers chef the other day his name is Chris and is a member of the Southport RSL club. He discharged in 1986 after a rollercoaster of a career. I don't meet many pussers chef. I meet every other defence forces chefs except Navy ones so I was absolutely delighted when he said he was in the Navy. Also that he was on a load of supply type ships and a MW vessel. I told him he should head up to Maroochydoore Anzac day someone mentioned on here that it is the next best thing to a pussers chef reunion. He's kind of busy at the Soutport RSL club on ANZAC day. He's invited me to come back anytime to the RSL club.
