The army is coming!!!

We live very close to a very large army base. I did in Sydney too but their presence was never felt until the end of financial year when they would explode all their munitions to get more for the new financial year.
Here in Brisbane the army presence is very strong. We see tankers and convoys on The road
Off to training exercises, soldiers are always at the local shops wandering around in their fatigues and we know quite a few soldiers and their wives at church and school. The realities of life and families in the military are close up and personal.
Today we had a visit from the army. One of the ladies at church got her husband to come down with a truck , privates, flak jackets, helmets, war paint and walkie talkies to visit. His company had recently been in Afghanistan. Some kids were really wary, not my two charges tho, right in there!

















It was a lot of fun. I have a great respect for those who serve our country in this way, and their families that support them in that. Those wives deserve a medal
