Hi From N.Ireland

Hello all, a friend recommended this forum, I've had a lurk and you guys seem to know your stuff, I am a Combatives Instructor and teach hand to hand combat that I deem reliable from 20 years experience of various Martial Arts, basically last resort stuff that hopefully no one will ever need, I like to keep my fingers on the pulse of world affairs, here seems like a good place for that, thanks for having me,

Tom.

Hi.

Hi. Just signed up for DefenceTalk Forums.

What interesting times were living in. Passive Radar v Stealth, Drones, its like Star Wars.
Keeping an eye on the Pivot? Just read the latest article here about the US/Jap exercises. My opinion is that China must be stopped. Their claims are ridiculous and others might decide to apply them and all hell will break loose, something I don't think they care about. It just might be that their is no solution to the problem but that is no excuse to start threatening all their neighbors. Its great to see how the Navy and Marines etc were sent in a constrained fashion to let China know were not playing with them.

Hello all,

after having browsed around this site a bit I felt comfortable joining. It seems like you have a civilized and knowledgable user base.

The closest I've come to personal military knowledge of any kind is playing many strategic and tactical games over the years and reading about various historical battles. However, I have a general interest in geopolitics and history, and the military plays a large role in these things.

Additionaly I am an author and the protagonist of the book I am currently writing is a soldier/warrior, so I hope to glean some information from this site when I run out of ideas and/or knowledge pertaining to certain military situations.

Greetings from
Pirx

Intro

Hi all!

I'm an Executive Recruiter focused on the aerospace/defense industry, working primarily with Engineers. I try to stay up on the latest industry news and chatter so I'm glad to find this group.

One question maybe you guys can help me with - MOD EDIT: text removed.

Thanks!
Alina

Free advertising isn't permitted on the board - you want to put something up, email the WebMaster. Or at least try to do a better job of concealing it next time.

Greetings all.
I've been reading Defence Talk for many years and really appreciate all the thought and knowledge freely put up by the members.
I was in the Australian Army (RAE) for 9 years (1977-1986) so have learnt to keep my head down and keep a low profile.
I've read the rules and won't be asking why don't we put f-35's on our new 'aircraft carriers' which seems to be the second post a lot of newbies make.
Cheers

Welcome Peter to Defence Talk. I am sure you will enjoy posting here.

Would you be so kind to contact contact one of the Australian based Mods such as ADMK2, Bonza or GF regarding prior service details. One of the rules around here that you may have missed is that all people who make reference to prior service in their posts must PM the Mods with background.

Kind Regards, MrC

Newbie here !

Hi chaps,

This is nobel here basically from Brisbane/Australia. Well I just join this community and want to explore some knowledge and want to expose some what I have inside. So please guide me where I put a wrong thread at wrong place. Really appreciate to you...

Have a splendid day...
[Mod edit: Some survival tips for new members:

(i) do not post one-liners;
(ii) do not convert threads into news ribbons;
(iii) do not make multiple sequential posts in the same thread with the sole objective of increasing post count;
(iv) you must discuss the topic on-hand with with a comment/opinion that is more than two-lines and if you have nothing intelligent to say, don't post; and
(v) when posting facts to support your comment/opinion, cite your source(s) (by typing the article title, publication, author and page number), if you want to avoid a source challenge from the Mod Team. Further, the Mod Team is aware that you cannot post links in the first 10 posts.]

Hey guys, another Australian here.

Been around for a while but haven't been very active, thought I'd make an intro post now. Better late than never, right?

Joined the Army Cadets briefly but I've never been in the military. However I plan on enlisting as a Medical Officer in the Army when I complete my current biomedical degree at uni. :)

Hi folks,
I'm a military enthusiast.
I'm interested in all things logistics - always on the look-out to do things differently!
Cheers!
