CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

Once ensconced on patrollies, 

My very good friend was a sparky/radio operator on small patrol boats in Vietnam, spent much of his time after his tour in Holsworthy for various misdemeanours.

Listening to him it sounds like training in the navy was quite broad and first class back in those days, not sure it's the same now as it's all become very task specific with specialists for everything. He went on to be a big wig at Telstra before he retired, turns out knowing your way around navy comms was a great foundation for the public phone system. Lot's of his mates ended up as Telstra Lineys.
