We acknowledge we are on Kaurna Miyurna land. The Dreaming is still living. From the past, in the present, into the future, forever.

My Darling Girls

Out again last night VC hit HUONG TRA at 0200. Wish these people would take a sleeping tablet got back in at 0800

A school in Vic send me up 50 cans of Carnation milk so I took it out to SIA today - the village we had the big fight in last weekend and gave it to the nuns out there to distribute and I took out 20 cases of C Rations we'd scrounged from the marines. I'm glad you didn't get a job little sweetie. I think you've got enough to do with those three little girls. I know it would help to pass the time but I think it would finish up being more trouble than its worth. The visit to Rhondas was interesting I'm glad the girls were so good - what a funny little sweetie that Kim is though.

You did very well to drive home that late at night in the pouring rain by Waranara but my Neisi always was a jolly good driver.

I was out at Special Forces camp yesterday and acquired a beaut new light weight nylon hammock with a cover over it and a nylon sleeping bag (waterproof) with a blanket permanently attached on the inside very light - very warm.

I'm glad you had such a good giggle with Neddie old sweetie you get few enough laughs down there. Poor Neisi - still on plastic covers for books.

My phantom bag still isn't here we still seek it. I do hope I locate it by July

Aren't the [deleted] a ghastly pair

Thank heavens I've got my Neisi and not something like that! Although I suspect he is the worst of the pair.

I hope you like the musical show. I'm delighted hear whenever you get out to one of these.
Big operation starting of the 15th 2 Para Bns plus 2 Marine Bns plus HUC BAO and my Reaction Force is on call as a reserve. They are going in to clear the people out of CO. BI THAN - TAN and burn it to the ground. Should be interesting that's were we had the big stand up fight at Christmas. My room mate has just bought a nice SONY 530 tape recorder so I've got some very pleasant music going. He's out on the bars again he's a bit of an old drunk. Must close now little honey and get to bed. A quiet night - so far. We are definitely on the down hill run now TRIPP arrives here on 23 FEB, I'll say "Just call me Short timer new boy" Take very good care of yourself my beautiful Neisi I love you so very very much. Sleep tight
