I was in 3TB Singleton. The 1972 election that Gough Whitlam won was held just after we had finished basic training. I was due to go to Bandiana for corps training when we were given the choice of continuing or leaving. I decided to leave. Some of it was good, some not so good. I had a lot of respect for the NCO's who had seen service in Vietnam. The 2nd Lieutenants on the other hand were very much a mixed bag. I still remember the army number. A couple of green hankies are about all that remain of those days.
