He spends a great deal of time in preparation of going overseas to help prevent the spread of communism. He volunteers his services, only to find that his outfit is going nowhere - so he transfers out "before the huge American juggernaut plows through Vietnam" and there is nothing more to do. It is 1966.
Circumstances find him being sent to an Australian Army Aviation group, hence further training in jungle warfare It is here he teams up with "Johnsy". Follow them on a hysterical romp from Brisbane, through Sydney and the Phillipines. "The QANTAS pilots went on strike in mid-air and chucked us off in Manila" then onwards to Saigon and to their final destination - the Australian Task Force Base at NuiDat.
