Gday ops been a while hope all is well. Yes my first 2/3 months in KU were a bit rough, esky for a fridge and living on an air matress, living room furniture consisted of 3 fold out chairs but I was lucky I was in ol trusty coolibah court (melrose place). Not long after got my hands on a king size fantasie futon and an old leaky fridge but mate it sure was better than the esky.
On another matter, just for interest, was that Braz story true with the partnavia. If it is I wouldnt be too quick to lable all the alligator pilots, cause the majority are good pilots/operators and great blokes. IMHO (very biased too)
