WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:02.500
- Is virgin at close and I'm a Gunner.

00:02.500 --> 00:05.270
Last you we did Kulungan,

00:05.270 --> 00:07.020
which was a joint exercise

00:07.020 --> 00:08.410
outfield in Bundy,

00:08.410 --> 00:10.050
which is about two hours away.

00:10.050 --> 00:11.210
And pretty much

00:11.210 --> 00:13.153
we were pretty separate.

00:14.070 --> 00:15.400
But then we did kind of

00:15.400 --> 00:16.860
do a bit of an interaction with them,

00:16.860 --> 00:18.410
see how they worked on the gun,

00:18.410 --> 00:19.243
see how we did

00:19.243 --> 00:21.220
'cause we do things very differently.

00:21.220 --> 00:22.053
So it was really cool.

00:22.053 --> 00:22.886
It's good to see like

00:22.886 --> 00:23.773
how they work.

00:25.030 --> 00:26.740
Sometimes we'll do

00:26.740 --> 00:28.003
firing at the same time.

00:29.200 --> 00:30.033
Most of the time,

00:30.033 --> 00:30.950
it will be one gun

00:30.950 --> 00:32.110
will adjust fire to make sure

00:32.110 --> 00:33.580
that we're on the target properly.

00:33.580 --> 00:34.413
And then once

00:34.413 --> 00:35.246
you're on target,

00:35.246 --> 00:36.780
then we'll send the other guns

00:36.780 --> 00:38.180
whether it's two or three guns

00:38.180 --> 00:39.013
that we have,

00:39.013 --> 00:39.930
the rest of them will all

00:39.930 --> 00:40.930
kinda link up

00:40.930 --> 00:42.390
and we'll do five for effects.

00:42.390 --> 00:44.440
So normally we'll send around

00:44.440 --> 00:45.410
and then it will be

00:46.660 --> 00:47.710
six zero seconds,

00:47.710 --> 00:49.848
every 60 seconds we fire again.

00:49.848 --> 00:51.500
That's how it goes with each gun.

00:51.500 --> 00:52.663
So it's one gun fires,

00:53.572 --> 00:54.405
then the next,

00:54.405 --> 00:55.238
then the next

00:55.238 --> 00:57.240
or sometimes its own co-ordination.

00:57.240 --> 00:58.490
And so, just dependent

00:58.490 --> 00:59.520
on what's been sent down

00:59.520 --> 01:00.920
from the (indistinct) to us.

01:00.920 --> 01:02.250
Last year, we were separate.

01:02.250 --> 01:03.230
We had one night

01:03.230 --> 01:04.063
where we just had like

01:04.063 --> 01:05.850
a barbecue altogether.

01:05.850 --> 01:07.260
But,

01:07.260 --> 01:08.910
we could have like two Marines

01:08.910 --> 01:09.760
come to our guns

01:09.760 --> 01:10.830
and then vice versa.

01:10.830 --> 01:11.760
We go to their guns

01:11.760 --> 01:13.450
just to go for a couple of days

01:13.450 --> 01:14.283
and see how we go.

01:14.283 --> 01:15.116
But as far as I know,

01:15.116 --> 01:15.949
I'm not too sure.

01:17.360 --> 01:18.430
Social no.

01:18.430 --> 01:20.410
It's not really any different life.

01:20.410 --> 01:21.950
They have like the same relationship

01:21.950 --> 01:23.728
with themselves as we do

01:23.728 --> 01:24.561
in Australia.

01:25.632 --> 01:26.800
But work wise,

01:26.800 --> 01:27.633
it's very different.

01:27.633 --> 01:29.530
It's a lot more formal.

01:29.530 --> 01:30.710
I've realized with the Marines,

01:30.710 --> 01:31.610
whereas over here,

01:31.610 --> 01:32.599
we're like,

01:32.599 --> 01:33.994
a little bit more chill,

01:33.994 --> 01:34.827
(chuckles) if that makes sense.

01:34.827 --> 01:35.760
- [Interviewer] Yeah.

01:35.760 --> 01:37.582
- Yeah, like may or bro,

01:37.582 --> 01:40.520
yeah probably just bro (chuckles)

01:40.520 --> 01:42.060
Just the joint fires exercise

01:42.060 --> 01:44.647
and then we had a Marines' night,

01:44.647 --> 01:46.110
and we had a dinner.

01:46.110 --> 01:46.970
That was

01:48.110 --> 01:48.943
wack!

01:49.980 --> 01:51.490
They put together their dinner.

01:51.490 --> 01:53.150
So we kind of got to learn how

01:53.150 --> 01:54.580
they do their formal dues.

01:55.780 --> 01:56.970
Well, you know, you have to like stand up

01:56.970 --> 01:57.803
and ask permission

01:57.803 --> 01:58.636
to go to the bathroom.

01:58.636 --> 01:59.633
Which is so weird.

02:00.870 --> 02:02.820
But also like we did

02:02.820 --> 02:05.430
an exercise last year talisman Cyborg

02:06.430 --> 02:07.570
and we had two Marines

02:07.570 --> 02:09.080
on each of our guns.

02:09.080 --> 02:09.913
Last year they came out

02:09.913 --> 02:11.490
with us for a month.

02:11.490 --> 02:12.323
So, they got to see

02:12.323 --> 02:13.180
how we kind of worked

02:13.180 --> 02:16.463
and just see how
Australians do everything.

02:17.770 --> 02:18.820
Yeah, just pretty much stuff like that,

02:18.820 --> 02:19.653
like we got

02:19.653 --> 02:20.486
to hang out with them

02:20.486 --> 02:21.319
on a personal level

02:21.319 --> 02:22.152
and a work related level.
