The Joys of Army Life

I am very happy that we are moving to Melbourne, but I am not so happy with the way a certain division of the army has dealt with the situation. They shall remain nameless, however, I will refer to them as the Mushrooms from Melbourne (kept in the dark and fed on s**t).

An introduction for those not inducted into the dark and bizarre processes of the army. Any course longer than 6 months = posting. Any course under 6 months = stay in a dorm room alone. Gray's course was originally 4 months, but was changed to 6 months last September.

The Mushrooms from Melbourne were given the paperwork in September about the posting. They seem to have thrown it directly into a vortex however, as they were under the impression that Gray was just going on a 4 month jaunt to Mexico. He wasn't.

So here we sit, 5 weeks to the day from the start date and the Mushrooms have still not given us the posting order despite much yelling, protesting and tantys from all quarters.

On the bright side, we know we're moving so we finally bought some hedge clippers and trimmed the hedge. And this will be the last house we ever live in with a hedge.
