Joined the RAN Reserve in 1968, my number was called out and I elected to go full time in the RAN in 1969, served on Attack Class Patrol Boats out of Cairns as a Bofors gunner, volunteered to do Helicopter Door Gunner training, was enroute to Vietnam when the ship was turned around and we were discharged, stayed on in the RAN Reserve until 1982.
Service number was A100545, won't ever forget that, lol.
Cheers
