Well it's about time we had a current listing of as many courses as possible on one medium that most can use.
The above CD will run in your DVD-Rom on your computer or if you have a DVD Player then this Video CD is for you.
Offered as a means of recalling all those who have been through an ADG Course and completed such.
Most images have been scanned from photo's sent in to me for includion on our web site or scanned from past copies of the Blue Beret.
This is presented in a Slide Show format and will allow you to freeze any one slide for more time to peruse.
Hopefully this CD will encourage more to our reunion next Anzac Day 2004 in Newcastle NSW.
To order your copy of this VCD enclose $20-00 inside an envelope and post it to the Pom at

Pom,
I don't know if this counts as being put on the roll of honour, however Kev
Close(now WOD) and I were on escort duties, when Timor was on. Our task was
to escort "items" across to Timor.
We were not attached to the squadron, but were based in Darwin. I believe
that we were the only two adg's who were tasked with special duties.
My nic is Skip.

G'day mate, just to let you know, there were also ADGs in East Timor with
No. 381 and No. 382 ECSS. I was there with 381 at Komoro. Other ADGs
there with me were SGT "Hooch" Turner, SGT Dave Gay (Laurie's son), and SGT
Blake Cameron. GDEFOs were FLTLT Chris "Ding Ding" Hayden, and FLTLT
Damien Reitsma. We were there as the GDCP/S3 Cell.
Up at Baucau with 382 was CPL Jadam "Louie" Losick. I can't remember who
else was at Baucau.
WGCDR Gary "Zac" Penny was in the Air Operations HQ in Dili.
Regards,
Brash.
Thanks Brash,
Sorry but at this stage the roll is looking a little bare so if anyone can assist with further names it will help fill in the holes.

Why lawyers should never ask a witness a question if they aren't
prepared for the answer.
In a trial in the US, a southern small town prosecuting attorney
called his first witness to the stand - a grandmotherly, elderly woman.
He approached her and asked,
"Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"
She responded, "Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you
since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big
disappointment to me.
You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk
about them behind their backs.
You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize
you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher.
Yes, I know you."
The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed
across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defence
attorney?"
She again replied, "Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a
youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He
can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is
one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his
wife with three different women. Yes, I know him."
The defence attorney almost died!
At this point, the judge brought the courtroom to silence, called both
counsellors to the bench, and in a very quiet voice, said:
"If either of you bastards asks her if she knows me, you'll be jailed
for contempt."
Dilemma
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by
a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could
only be one passenger in your car?
Think before you continue reading...
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a
job application.
You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you
should save her first; or you could take the old friend because he once
saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.
However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming
up with his answer. He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my
old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind
and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought
limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
However, the correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out of
her misery, have sex with the perfect partner against the bus stop, then
drive off with the old friend for some beers.
Look at what i found at the beach with a metal detector.
