I actually did my G/Warfare courses living in the jungle, sleeping in
holes in the ground 6' long x 18"deep and 2'6" wide. All my lecturers
were Veterans of South Vietnam, Borneo, Malaya...and in one notable
case, all three. The were no majors apart from "you are not here to
die for your Flag, Country etc....You are here to make the other
Ba......ds die for theirs. All in all, an eye opener. No Computers,
and the only Engineers were laying explosives.
Quote of Note;
Journalist.."what do you think makes Australian Soldiers so effective
Jungle Fighters?"
Warrant Officer Instructor.."In most countries around the world, the
Soldiers are taught that the jungle is a dark forbidding place with
lots of things lurking in the Dark......We teach our Soldiers to go
out and do the Lurking!!"
