Hearing the Deltas transmit is getting rare... Im gonna miss those chases

You'll still get your chances

Am I right to believe Turbo you work with the NEWS crew onboard the helicopter?

Intrigued that is all

Yeah - a remote controlled helicopter is all our budget can afford...

Hi Shank.ed. There are a few of us 'media' representatives that are members of WARSUG, mostly camera guys from different stations

Maybe we'll cross paths some time. (Or have in the past??).

Hey Turbo, the boss tells me you're in charge for a few weeks while he's OS

. I caught up with him at the serious TA Reid HWY/Mirrabooka Ave last Friday night. Might be lucky enough to cross paths over the next few weeks.

Youâ€™ll have to let me know of your contact number / maybe I can let you know when we do a serious raid!!!!!! Nah sorry were pretty much told at the last minute anyhow. We may have met before I did the basic front line / Highway patrol and now in my current role.

I know you guys are just doing your job though you get on our nerves when you poke your noises in to farâ€¦..

Anyway thanks for the compliment on welcoming me to the board it beats some people having a go at me regarding my position.

Have a smashing weekend if your not working unlike myself ï

Cheers Shank.ed. Unfortunately some of the newer/younger cammos around town lack... how do i say it... *thinks*... shall i say the 'life experience' to know when to respect certain boundaries (real or otherwise). Having had over twenty years on the road with the ABC i hope i have learnt the difference

When i get a chance i'll PM you with some more details so you can spot me out and about.

Do you work city wide when cruising around? And are you able to do vehicle stops etc or just stick to backing up others?

If were in overall slacks then yes were allowed to do random stops although it should be quick and easy transaction.

I wouldn't have thought there'd have been many TRG jobs going, but I spose not all of them are full headline type stories, until it's a hostage situation. Some of the stuff looks pretty sweet, though I'd enjoy some of the rappelling and any tactical stuff, (ex army cadet). Keep up the good work, and lets hope there aren't too many stories that are headline material, cause it means that everyone is doing a really good job!
