Am feeling very sad right now  My brother has just flown out from Ohakea for an 8 month tour of duty in East Timor. My mum was there to see him off, with his partner and two babies, and she sent me a few pxt's of the morning, the last one coming in at 9am of the Airforce plane taking off. My baby brother

Best wishes for your brother Clare, I hope everything goes well. I'm a devout coward and so would have never joined any armed force. What a brave guy!

My brother is in the Army, but they left on a big Airforce Hercules. Pretty impressive looking craft I must say!
It must be yuck for your friends Mum Janine. I dunno how I'd cope

I really feel for you Clare. my baby brother was in the Navy and went to Timor in the very first boat that went over a few years back, it was so, so scary. He was even on Holmes. I just cried for days. It is their job, though and they got the job they applied for, if that makes any sense? They are all very brave.
