Great pics guys. Wildcat, I really dig that hat! No foolin'. I wonder how I can get hold of one.
It looks like the Australian and Canadian armies still use the same artillery hat badge. Based on the British one of course.

Wildcat - do you ever do any target work with the Kalkara Drone?

No mate, We always used a Lear jet towing a target on a 5Km long cable. The RAAF and RAN mainly use the Kalkara.

Since everyone commented on my hat, I took some close up shots (sorry about the crappy quality). The Australian Slouch Hat (or Hat, Khaki Fur Felt in Army lingo) has been worn by Aussie Diggers into battle since the Boer War. Many preferring to wear this over helmuts, especially in areas of hot climate. Apparently the Slouch Hat was the only piece of uniform that didn't disintergrate in the tough jungle conditions of New Guinea in WWII!

The left side of the hat is turned up only when wearing cerimonial uniform or for a cerimonial parade. For everyday use the brim is worn down flat (If it's not flat and straight enough you'll soon be told by the nearest NCO!!) as in my picture above. The chin strap in worn strictly on the end of the chin, unlike how I'm wearing it, or that bastard NCO will again be tearing strips of you! The band around the hat is called a "Puggaree" and each line represents the states in Australia.

Ah, Combat 95's...gotta love 'em. Initially covered with a showerproof coating that boils off as soon as you iron it!

Having said that, with my limited experience of this sort of thing, I ought to STFU, but your kit seriously needs a good ironing!
 
As I said I will post my military pics now. The only things I dont have pictures of are of me in my BDU's (Battle Dress Uniform), Class A's (Greens) and my Green Flight Suits. I know I have some somewhere but I dont know where they are.
