G'day, another member from down under

[Maelstrom]

G'day all,

Due to a mid-life crisis (and 15 years in one job), I'm now branching out and trying my hand in the security field primarily as site patrol/loss prevention and in occasional static positions here in Victoria Australia

I came across this site whilst researching duty gear and equipment etc. and must say those high intensity torches demonstrated by 'black bear' are quite impressive... isn't it odd how one develops a passion for torches after entering the industry? LMAO As a direct consequence I've now got a greater varied collection than I've ever owned in my entire life combined

The only torches I've ever been concerned about are the ones the villiagers held while chaseing me. Welcome to the site.

Hi from Wagga Wagga, nsw.

Ah, so that makes me the only 'Mexican' here then?

FYI Victoria is south of the NSW border... hence the 'tag' all part of Interstate rivalry

G'day matey.... welcome to the site!!
I am a hospital S/O it Royal Darwin Hospital!! (shhhh but I am also an ex Mexician from ballarat)
As stated take a read though the forum there is a wealth of info here!!

[Maelstrom]

Ballarat? LOL they're famous for their seemingly endless wet weather... did you know that Lake Wendouree dried completely up? people were scavanging old mortar shells, vintage bottles & relics from the exposed surface.

Being an S/O in a large hospital sounds like a sweet gig?

Welcome

Is your avatar a CB radio? I have not seen one of those for a few years!

[Maelstrom]

Actually, it's a Philips FM900 series remote head unit commercial radio... when business users upgraded their 2-way systems these 80's radios became quite plentiful, many being modified for Uhf/Vhf amateur usage (and CB UHF of course) .

With an EEPROM burning equipment they can become quite a nice scanning reciever for local services.
