Grasshopper
Had the privilege of working with the Aussie Cavalry Squadron in Vietnam back in 1967. They were still wearing the 'roo leather boots, resulting in bad cases of immersion foot. I dispatched my platoon sergeant back to our base camp to round up as many pair of US jungle boots as he could "laterally transfer", and to bring them back to our mutual base camp.
The sheer and utter gratitude of the Aussies was manifested in copious amounts of offers of their best beer, and it wasn't "Foster's Lager."
Welcome to PF! We're a strange bunch of folks, with some being much stranger than others.
