That joke certainly rings a bell. I did not mean to disparage said W/C but it seemed a necessary start to the tale. He and I did have our ups and downs from time to time but, on the whole, we got on very well. He was then my OC for the year I was a reservist before I broke myself and also realised that the demands of currency were incompatible with a full time job elsewhere.
Enjoy your time in Oz.
