A Coy 1 RTB 6 Platoon Kapooka June 1969
I have no idea what numbered intake it was, but recruit training for me began in April 1969. As the photo indicates, the photo was taken just prior to our re-assignment to Corps Training in June 1969.
From my recollection, most of the guys here were posted to Infantry units, with the increased prospect of being Vietnam-bound. Paradoxically, of the platoon of “Regs” who occupied the floor above the 6 Platoon lines, very few were posted to a RAR and those that were, volunteered.
I was assigned to the RAAMC and after Corps training spent the rest of my National Service in the QM’s office at 2 Mil Hospital at Ingleburn. One of the few rewarding but often disconcerting tasks I had to perform, was to, once a fortnight, travel to Richmond Air Force Base to arrange for the transfer from the Hercules aircraft, the subsequent Customs-clearance, and finally, transportation back to 2 Mil of the less-seriously wounded Diggers medivac’d out of Vietnam. The more seriously wounded guys were sent straight to what was then the Concord Repatriation Hospital. A few days before the Herc arrived, I would receive a manifest of those being medivac’d. The manifest would show Regimental Number (thus revealing Nasho or Reg), rank, name and a brief description of the injuries sustained.
I might stand to be corrected, but my recollection was that the flight from Vietnam took some 30 hours, including refueling stopovers etc., and must have been quite an ordeal for those poor fellows wounded. It was hardly first-class seating. Stretchers were effectively suspended along the sides of the fuselage with anything up to 30 medivacs at a time and no flight attendants serving meals. The poor buggers did it tough! Watching the guys being transferred from the Herc to the Army ambulance, it was not usual to see the blanket cover a single leg rather than two, or dressings over eyes, or bandaging that evidenced the absence of some (or all) fingers, etc., etc. Nevertheless, I got to know a quite few of the evacuees and other staff who spent time at 2 Mil and would welcome contact from any of them, in particular, Gary Parrott, who worked in the Linen Store alongside the RSM’s wife.
