No, I wasn't there in 2002....I've been there 2005, 2006 and now
2007. 2005 I was at Camp Growl Canteen and Kitchen, 2006 I was at
Sam Hill North Camp Kitchen, this Year I am at Sam Hill North
Kitchen again.
Well if you will be there from 21st october(3 days before my 21st
birthday)...please come to kitchen and say hi!!! My friends and I
would be happy to meet you! 
It's always good for you guys to have someone
to talk to other than your army mates over here...it can be a bit
strange being so far away from home, and it's not the easiest of
conditions at Shoal Water Bay. Drink plenty of water...but not too
much COLD water, as it can upset your stomach in the heat and make
you sick. Sometimes water straight from the specified drinking taps
is best in the heat. We have lots of rules out there and you guys
need to try to obide by them, as like wasting water....all the
water we have at the camps is from water tanks, that has to be
bought in by trucks....so it's very precious.....last year a
company of troops were wasting water in their showers and the rest
of the camp ran out of water, so ofcourse, the kitchen could not
cook, or clean the dishes, so meals were delayed until we could get
another water truck out......that takes up to 3-4
hours......needless to say, the troops that wasted the water were
disliked by everyone in camp, and their officers made them wait
until last to be served their meals. The next time they showered
their was no more water wastage.
