Yep... He had "assimilated"... He also tried to transfer to the RAAF mainly for the following two reasons:-
1. Exercise for Chinooks meant packing all operational equipment onto the aircraft. Then pack the barbie, food and beer. Fly out into the middle of nowhere. Unload barbie, food and beer. Camp for a week. Pack what remains of barbie, food and beer and fly back to base.
2. Oz men are pigs to the women. Say hello to a Sheila and ask her her name and she doesn't need plying with booze...
Made sense to me...
