I thought both were arty

LHY was CO of 46SAR. rumors have it that 46SAR was raised so that LHY can have his battlion CO tour. before the battlion was raised, it was only a BRC. that why all the high flyer armour COs never go 46SAR. and 46 the only battlion then not in running number and now the battlion had stand down. i never heard of battlion stand down before. heard from old bird WOs during ICTs that LHY was a blur cock officer.

With respect, although I do not know the actual reason if any, I believe that they use the "Han yu pin yin" for the next generation.
Neither am I trying to defend them, because they are more than capable to defend themselves.

Heard that when LHY was in armour,he used to go to neighbouring countries for his philandering adventures .When Old Fart got wind of it,LHY was reprimanded and his passport confiscated.Well his philandering streak continues when he is in SingTel...................

LHY was definitely CO 40SAR sometime between 1981 or 1982 (Can't remember the exact year, but was for a short, about 1 year only).

Quite well liked by his men, as hardly have CO parades :biggrin:. You should see him run his 2.4Km IPPT test!

i think that was due to new barracks only completed in the 90s. enter sungei gedong main gate can see spanking new buildings at 42 & SOA but when 5tonner turn into 46 parade square, the whole 46 compound look out of place. so farking run down.

Grand dad's orders for all families to revert to PRC naming conventions. Funnily enough, out of the whole Cabinet, LHL is the only one to have children named the HYP style.

AUSTRALIA'S most decorated soldier, Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith, today announced he would be taking personal leave but was not leaving the army.

The Victoria Cross recipient released a statement announcing he had not resigned from the Special Air Service Regiment and would remain a member of the Australian Army.

"Over the course of 18 years in the Army, I have accumulated a substantial amount of leave and plan to take some of that leave this year.

"I will not discuss the period of leave I intend to take or my plans during this time, as I consider these personal matters. Like any Army member, I remain a serving member whilst on leave," Cpl Roberts-Smith said.

He said he was "disappointed" by earlier reports that he had decided to quit the SAS but declined to elaborate on the length of time he intended to be away or the reasons behind his decision to take leave.

“Like any member of the ADF, there will come a time for me to move on. However, if and when that time comes, I will remain connected to the SASR, the Army and the ADF and will not quit or walk away as News Limited reporting has suggested.

“While I accept the public responsibilities of holding the Victoria Cross for Australia, I strongly believe that some aspects of my personal and family life remain private and I thank those members of the Australian media and public who have respected these wishes.”
