Thank you for the kind words, Gentlemen.
I will pass them on to Bryce, when he comes home for Christmas.
He phoned from Sydney at around 2030hrs last night. The recruits are in a hotel there overnight, before the drive to Kapooka today. The Army has already started feeding them an unbelievable amount of food. We all know why that is, dont we! Wish his Granddad was alive to see Bryce follow in his footsteps. He would have been so proud.
Apparently the flight down was good, but the landing in SYD was a bad one. Bryce told us the landing was so hard the aircraft actually bounced off the tarmac and down again.

He has never liked being in large aircraft. Light aircraft, diffrent story, especially since we took him on a flight when he was about 10, where the pilot allowed him to have the controls for a little while. He thought that made him a pilot.
